Comparison of Early Postoperative Diaphragm Muscle Function after Lobectomy via VATS and Open Thoracotomy: A Sonographic Study

Life
Although a growing body of evidence emphasizes the superiority of VATS over conventional thoracotomy, little is still known about early postoperative diaphragm muscle function after lobectomy via these two approaches.

Effects of intermittent exposure to hypobaria and cold on the microarchitecture and morphofunctional profile of rat gastrocnemius muscle

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

Ultrasound-assessed Diaphragmatic Function as a Predictor of Lung Function and Exercise Capacity in Stable COPD: A Case–Control Study [PDF]

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care
Spirometry and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) are commonly employed to assess patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but both methods are effort-dependent and may lead to oxygen desaturation during testing.

Thoracoscopic diaphragm plication.

, 2020
Diaphragmatic paralysis with subsequent eventration and respiratory compromise has a huge impact on the quality of life of affected patients. Many different surgical approaches for correcting this problem have been described in the past, using both ...

Morphometric analysis of postnatal lung development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica): An ultrastructural study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Diaphragm excursion and thickness in patients with chronic low back pain with and without lumbar instability

Scientific Reports
Diaphragm is crucial for respiration and plays a significant role in trunk stabilization, particularly during postural tasks. Several studies have focused primarily on trunk muscles in lumbar instability (LI) patients.

Predicting non-ideal effects from the diaphragm opening process in shock tubes

Shock tubes are instrumental in studying high-temperature kinetics and simulating high-speed flows. They rapidly increase the thermodynamic conditions of test gases, making them ideal for examining chemical reactions and generating high-enthalpy flows ...

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.
