Body Composition and Muscle Function in Bronchiectasis: A Comparative Longitudinal Study

Respirology, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 471-483, May 2026.
We compared body composition and muscle function in adults with bronchiectasis versus controls and assessed if leg strength estimates 1‐year outcomes. Patients with bronchiectasis had lower muscle mass, bone density, and leg strength. Reduced leg strength is associated with worse dyspnoea, quality of life, and functional capacity, highlighting the need

Drainage of Pleural Effusion in the Intensive Care Unit (DOPE‐ICU) Feasibility Trial—Protocol and Statistical Analysis Plan

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pleural effusions are common in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with respiratory failure. Ultrasonography‐guided therapeutic pleural drainage is widely used and associated with improved oxygenation and ventilatory parameters, but no randomised clinical trial data exist.

The effect of inhaled dry salt on pulmonary mucociliary clearance in obstructive lung disease: A randomised, placebo‐controlled, crossover study

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Volume 46, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Background Inhaled saline may improve mucus transport in respiratory diseases, for example, cystic fibrosis. This randomised, placebo‐controlled, crossover study examined the effect of inhaled dry NaCl on mucociliary clearance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Twenty‐five patients with GOLD stage I‐III COPD

Associations of obesity, systemic inflammation, and hyperinsulinemia with the incidence of non‐communicable chronic disease and mortality: A prospective cohort study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 3883-3894, May 2026.
Abstract Aims Obesity, systemic inflammation, and hyperinsulinemia are all features of metabolic syndrome and frequently occur together. We aimed to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with incident non‐communicable chronic disease (NCD) or all‐cause mortality, independent of C‐reactive protein (CRP) and fasting insulin.
