Air trapping: The major factor limiting diaphragm mobility in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008)
Background and objective: Patients with COPD can have impaired diaphragm mechanics. A new method of assessing the mobility of the diaphragm, using ultrasound, has recently been validated. This study evaluated the relationship ...
Cigarette smoking impairs the diaphragm muscle structure of patients without respiratory pathologies: An autopsy study
(2019-01-01)
Background/Aims: Smoking is a major risk factor for several cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, and it has also been associated with the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength leading to sarcopenia. The aim of this ...
Neuromuscular synapse degeneration without muscle function loss in the diaphragm of a murine model for Huntington's Disease
(2018-06-01)
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease characterized by chorea, incoordination and psychiatric and behavioral symptoms. The leading cause of death in HD patients is aspiration pneumonia, ...
Duration of diaphragmatic inactivity after endotracheal intubation of critically ill patients
(2021)
Abstract
Background
In patients intubated for mechanical ventilation, prolonged diaphragm inactivity could lead to weakness and poor outcome. Time to resume a minimal ...
Monitoring the electric activity of the diaphragm during noninvasive positive pressure ventilation: a case report
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Abstract
Background
In patients with post-extubation respiratory distress, delayed reintubation may worsen clinical outcomes. Objective measures of extubation failure at ...
Changes in types of muscle fibers induced by transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the diaphragm of rats
(Assoc Bras Divulg CientificaSao PauloBrasil, 2008)
Eletromiografia de superfície em músculos inspiratórios de indivíduos adultos e idosos: revisão sistemática
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosBRUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Fisioterapia - PPGFt, 2015-02-26)
Introduction: Electromyography (EMG) contributes to the evaluation of disorders and pulmonary changes, since impairments in the respiratory muscles function are associated to the development of diseases. There are wide ...
Electric Ventilation: indications for and technical aspects of diaphragm pacing stimulation surgical implantation
(SOC BRASILEIRA PNEUMOLOGIA TISIOLOGIABRASILIA DF, 2013-08-02)
Objective: Patients with high cervical spinal cord injury are usually dependent on mechanical ventilation support, which, albeit life saving, is associated with complications and decreased life expectancy because of ...
Muscle reorganisation through local injection of stem cells in the diaphragm of mdx mice
(Biomed CentralLONDON, 2012-12-12)
Background: The diaphragm is the major respiratory muscle affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and is responsible for causing 80% of deaths. The use of mechanical forces that act on the body or intermittent pressure ...
