Diaphragm excursion and thickness in patients with chronic low back pain with and without lumbar instability [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDiaphragm 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.

Optogenetic activation of the diaphragm
Scientific Reports, 2022 Impaired diaphragm activation is common in many neuromuscular diseases. We hypothesized that expressing photoreceptors in diaphragm myofibers would enable light stimulation to evoke functional diaphragm activity, similar to endogenous bursts.

PZT-Film-Based Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer with I-Shaped Composite Diaphragm
Micromachines, 2022 We proposed a PZT-film-based piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer (pMUT) with an I-shaped composite diaphragm to improve the sensitivity and resonant frequency of pMUTs with the same diaphragm area. The finite element method (FEM) simulation

Lung and Diaphragm-Protective Ventilation.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2020 Mechanical ventilation can cause acute diaphragm atrophy and injury and this is associated with poor clinical outcomes. While the importance and impact of lung-protective ventilation is widely appreciated and well-established, the concept of diaphragm ...

Quantitative analysis of diaphragm motion during fluoroscopic sniff test to assist in diagnosis of hemidiaphragm paralysis [PDF]
Radiology Case Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, 2022, Pages 1750-1754,
ISSN 1930-0433, 2022 The current imaging gold standard for detecting paradoxical diaphragm motion and diagnosing hemidiaphragm paralysis is to perform the fluoroscopic sniff test. The images are visually examined by an experienced radiologist, and if one hemidiaphragm ascends while the other descends, then it is described as paradoxical motion, which is highly suggestive ...

Intensive Care Medicine, 2020 Mechanical ventilation may have adverse effects on both the lung and the diaphragm. Injury to the lung is mediated by excessive mechanical stress and strain, whereas the diaphragm develops atrophy as a consequence of low respiratory effort and injury in ...
