EXpert consensus On Diaphragm UltraSonography in the critically ill (EXODUS): a Delphi consensus statement on the measurement of diaphragm ultrasound-derived parameters in a critical care setting

open access: yesCritical Care, 2022
Background Diaphragm ultrasonography is rapidly evolving in both critical care and research. Nevertheless, methodologically robust guidelines on its methodology and acquiring expertise do not, or only partially, exist.

Poor Correlation between Diaphragm Thickening Fraction and Transdiaphragmatic Pressure in Mechanically Ventilated Patients and Healthy Subjects

open access: yesAnesthesiology, 2021
Background: The relationship between the diaphragm thickening fraction and the transdiaphragmatic pressure, the reference method to evaluate the diaphragm function, has not been clearly established.

Lung and Diaphragm-Protective Ventilation.

open access: yesAmerican 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 ...

Clinical strategies for implementing lung and diaphragm-protective ventilation: avoiding insufficient and excessive effort

open access: yesIntensive 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 ...

New insight into podocyte slit diaphragm, a therapeutic target of proteinuria

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Nephrology, 2020
Dysfunction of slit diaphragm, a cell–cell junction of glomerular podocytes, is involved in the development of proteinuria in several glomerular diseases. Slit diaphragm should be a target of a novel therapy for proteinuria.

Influence of gender on diaphragm thickness using a method for determining intima media thickness in healthy young adults

open access: yesBMC Medical Imaging, 2022
Background To clarify the differences in diaphragm thickness between male and female participants in healthy young adults with ultrasonography using the mean intima media thickness (IMT) method and to investigate the relationship between diaphragm ...

Diaphragm versus diaphragm with spermicides for contraception

open access: yesCochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2003
The diaphragm is usually used with a spermicide. However, some practitioners have suggested that spermicides offer no additional contraceptive protection and have advocated alternative guidelines for the use of diaphragms.The objective of this review was to compare the effectiveness, safety and acceptability of the diaphragm with and without spermicide.
