Milestone Attainment in Young Children With Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita: Developmental Profile and Associated Factors

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evidence on developmental milestones in children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) under the age of five is scarce. This multisite cross‐sectional study described developmental status and examined factors associated with milestone attainment in 143 children aged 0–66 months from a pediatric AMC Registry.

The Efficacy of Pulmonary Rehabilitation Using Mechanical In-Exsufflator in Cervical Cord Injured Patients [PDF]

, 2002
Objective: It is known that Mechanical in-exsufflator (MI-E) can reduce pulmonary complications such as pneumonia, atelectasis in tetraplegia by increasing inspiratory and expiratory capacity. The aim of this study is to clarify the effectiveness of MI-E

SDPR–STK38 axis controls the proliferation–differentiation balance in alveolar type II cells

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The present study identifies SDPR as a pivotal regulator orchestrating the balance between proliferation and differentiation in alveolar type II (AT2) cells. In SDPR+/+ cells, SDPR binds to and inhibits STK38 activity, thereby sustaining GSK‐3β signaling functionality to promote cyclin D1 degradation and maintain cell cycle homeostasis.

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.
