Shear Wave Elastography to Assess Respiratory Muscle Function in Congenital Myopathies

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Respiratory muscle dysfunction is prevalent in congenital myopathies and often leads to respiratory failure. Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) measures tissue elasticity and has been proposed as an alternative to invasive measures of respiratory muscle contractility.

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

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
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

Characterising Patient Pathways Prior to the Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) lead to breathlessness, cough, deteriorating quality of life and early death. Patients are typically diagnosed late in their disease course when existing lung damage cannot be reversed.

Determinants of Improved Dyspnea and Exercise Tolerance With Nasal High‐Flow O2 Therapy in Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease: A Pilot Physiological Study

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
We tested the respective effect of high‐flow and supplemental O2 from nasal high‐flow O2 therapy (NHFO2) on dyspnea and exercise tolerance in fibrotic interstitial lung disease. Supplemental O2 and NHFO2 (but not high‐flow) provided improvements in these outcomes at “iso‐O2 saturation” due to reduced ventilatory requirements.

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Intravenous paracetamol does not have significant opioid‐sparing effects when used as part of a multimodal analgesic protocol in dogs undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Data evaluating paracetamol combined with NSAIDs in dogs are scarce. Results of clinical studies in dogs investigating intravenous paracetamol vary. Methods Dogs were randomised to either receive 10 mg/kg paracetamol intravenously after induction of anaesthesia and every 8 hours during hospitalisation (test) or not (control).

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Signatures of Poor Asthma Symptom Control in the U‐BIOPRED Cohort

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.

Early Risk Assessment and Recognition of Allergies in Children: Rationale, Methodology, and Proposed Algorithms

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atopic diseases—including atopic dermatitis (AD), food allergy (FA), allergic rhinitis (AR), and asthma—are the most common chronic conditions in childhood and adolescence, affecting up to 30% of the global population. In Germany alone, more than 2.1 million children and adolescents are affected.
