Article Abstract
Multiple breath inert gas washout (MBW) measurements in infants are performed supine and often obtained under sedation and thus are combined with other lung function tests such as raised volume rapid thoracoabdominal compression (RVRTC). In this study, we sought to determine the effects of RVRTC maneuvers on MBW measures. Compared with tests performed prior to RVRTC, MBW measured after RVRTC was associated with a small reduction in functional residual capacity and a more pronounced decrease in cumulative expired volume in both healthy children and children with obstructive lung disease (cystic fibrosis or recurrent wheeze) indicating a more efficient washout after the raised volume maneuvers. Lung Clearance Index (LCI) decreased significantly in infants with respiratory disease (change in LCI of -0.24 units post RVRTC; standard error (SE) ± 0.07 units; P = 0.0004), but not in healthy infants (change in LCI of -0.08 units; SE ± 0.11 units; P = 0.44). As the RVRTC maneuver affects MBW measurements in infants, the timing of testing procedures needs to be standardized in longitudinal studies.

Introduction: Carotid artery disease is a major cause of stroke and is frequently evaluated using Carotid CT Angiography (CTA). However, the associated radiation exposure and contrast agent use raise concerns, particularly for high-risk patients. Recent advances in Deep Learning Image Reconstruction (DLIR) offer new potential to enhance image quality under low-dose conditions.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are leading causes of death worldwide, and the comorbid risk between these conditions has become an important area of public health research. Recently, a study published in Redox Biology (Volume 79, February 2025, 103470) applied machine learning models to explore the predictive value of dietary antioxidants for CVD and cancer comorbidity, making a significant contribution to this field. However, upon further examination, we found that the SHAP analysis in the paper did not reveal a significant contribution from baseline features, which raised concerns about the rationale for variable inclusion.

Tri-OPEs have become significant aquatic contaminants owing to their large production volumes and wide range of applications. Organophosphate diesters （di-OPEs） are closely related to tri-OPEs.

Evaluating acute stress responses to height: validity of heart rate variability, respiratory markers, and competitive state anxiety inventory.

Despite the widespread use of height exposure in adventure-based programs to foster resilience, effectiveness has largely been evaluated through self-reported measures, with limited objective psychophysiological assessments. This study aimed to identify which physiological stress markers best determine the acute stress response to height. A secondary aim of the study was to assess the concurrent validity of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Revised (CSAI-2R) questionnaire with ventilatory and heart rate variability (HRV) markers.
