miniMORPH: A Morphometry Pipeline for Low‐Field MRI in Infants

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 9, June 15, 2026.
miniMORPH is a fully automated pipeline for extracting regional brain volumes from ultra‐low‐field (0.064 T) infant MRI without super‐resolution. Benchmarking against high‐field references shows it preserves between‐subject variation and yields face‐valid developmental and birthweight‐related effects, enabling scalable neurodevelopmental morphometry ...

Child play and caregiver support to promote convalescence following severe acute malnutrition in Zimbabwe: The Tamba‐SAM pilot study

Maternal & Child Nutrition
AbstractChildren hospitalised for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) have a high risk of mortality, relapse and rehospitalisation following hospital discharge. Current approaches fail to promote convalescence, or to address the underlying social determinants of SAM, meaning that restoration of long‐term health, growth and neurodevelopment is not achieved.

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 2860-2879, 1 June 2026.
Abstract Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of fibrotic interstitial lung disease arising from pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanical and cardio‐circulatory abnormalities. More recently, it has been recognized that impairment in locomotor muscle function (e.g., reduced muscle mass/strength or heightened fatigability) might also play a ...
