Oxygen Supplementation Improves Oxygen Uptake Kinetics and Exercise Performance in PAH and CTEPH Patients

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
In patients with pulmonary vascular diseases (PAH and CTEPH), supplemental oxygen (FiO2 0.3), compared to room air (FiO2 0.21) improved peak exercise capacity (peak V̇O2), peak sustainable exercise (V̇O2 at GET), and V̇O2 kinetics and the onset of exercise.

Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of Weight Loss in 16 972 Participants With COPD Reveals Novel Risk Loci in DRAIC and RFX3

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with musculoskeletal comorbidities, including cachexia. Weight loss (WL) is the major criterion for cachexia and increases risk for mortality in COPD. Risk factors for WL in COPD are incompletely understood.

Comparison of Single‐Breath and Multi‐Breath Xe‐MRI in the Longitudinal Assessment of Treatment in Children With Cystic Fibrosis

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1652-1661, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) is a current standard therapy for pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF). Multiple‐breath washout 129Xe MRI (MBW Xe‐MRI) is improved following 1 month of treatment. However, the utility of MBW Xe‐MRI over extended ETI treatment and its comparison to single‐breath Xe‐MRI and pulmonary function tests ...

Interrelationships among handgrip strength, body composition, physical activity, and quality of life in adults with cystic fibrosis: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 849-858, June 2026.
Abstract Background In individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), lean mass and muscle strength are important predictors of clinical outcomes. This study evaluated associations among body composition, handgrip strength, muscle quality, physical activity, and health‐related quality of life in CF. Methods This observational, cross‐sectional study included 27

Clinical Use of Home Spirometry in Children With Cystic Fibrosis

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The use of home spirometry (HSPIR) has increased in pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) care, but how it has been used clinically and its impact on clinical care have not been described. The purpose of this study was to address this knowledge gap through a secondary analysis of data from a HSPIR quality improvement project to ...

The Relationship Between Structural and Functional Pulmonary Status and Quality of Life in Children With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder characterized by impaired mucociliary clearance, leading to recurrent airway infections and bronchiectasis. Monitoring disease progression requires both functional and structural assessments of the lungs.

Modeling Peak Expiratory Flow in Patients With Asthma and Quantifying Treatment Effects Using a Mixed‐Effects Hidden Markov Model

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinical trials in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often use exacerbation risk as the primary endpoint. However, exacerbations occur with low frequency, leading to long and costly clinical trials. Home‐measured spirometry, which is becoming more common, provides an alternative and has previously been used to shorten the ...

Use of Home Spirometry for Steroid Tapering

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a late, non‐infectious pulmonary complication that occurs following hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and treatment typically involves protracted courses of corticosteroids that are associated with dose‐limiting adverse effects and pulmonary exacerbations upon corticosteroid tapering.
