Presence of TBI and blast was associated with lower lung function. Further work is needed to elucidate the mechanism of this association and respiratory impacts of blast injury and TBI.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_author\">Author: Danielle R Glick<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_date\">Posted: May 28, 2026, 10:00 am<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item\">\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/42206906\/?utm_source=SimplePie&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=None&amp;utm_content=1NksTF9hJayyugtW9q59IBUuLiR0DT9ivBnm6qqSqqa57-BsN2&amp;fc=None&amp;ff=20260614070825&amp;v=2.20.0\" target='_blank'>Comparison of Long Term Effects of Treatment of Different CFTR Modulators in People With Cystic Fibrosis<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_description\">CONCLUSIONS: CFTRm - particularly ELX\/TEZ\/IVA - demonstrated substantial clinical benefits across age groups.

However, no accelerometer aerobic intensity cut-points are currently available to classify MVPA in this population. This study aimed to establish absolute and relative aerobic physical activity intensity accelerometer cut-points in people with CHD and compare the new with existing cut-points in an...<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_author\">Author: Nicole Freene<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_date\">Posted: May 28, 2026, 10:00 am<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":71,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.wmuh.nhs.uk\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2386"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.wmuh.nhs.uk\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.wmuh.nhs.uk\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.wmuh.nhs.uk\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.wmuh.nhs.uk\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2386"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.wmuh.nhs.uk\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2389,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.wmuh.nhs.uk\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2386\/revisions\/2389"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.wmuh.nhs.uk\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/71"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.wmuh.nhs.uk\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
