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 ...

Diaphragm versus diaphragm with spermicides for contraception
Cochrane 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.

An unfitted radial basis function generated finite difference method applied to thoracic diaphragm simulations [PDF]
, 2021 The thoracic diaphragm is the muscle that drives the respiratory cycle of a human being. Using a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) that models linear elasticity we compute displacements and stresses in a two-dimensional cross section of the diaphragm in its contracted state. The boundary data consists of a mix of displacement and traction

Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation versus percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for subphrenic hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Ultrasonography, 2022 Purpose Radiofrequency ablation is a curative treatment option for very early-stage or early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) for subphrenic tumors is technically challenging.

Vibrating Cantilever Transducer Incorporated in Dual Diaphragms Structure for Sensing Differential Pneumatic Pressure [PDF]
International Journal on Soft Computing ( IJSC ) Vol.2, No.4,
November 2011, 95-109, 2012 Pneumatic pressure cells with thin metallic spherical diaphragm of shallow spherical shell configuration linked with vibrating wire pickup or vibrating cantilever pickup were reported in the past. In order to enhance the sensitivity of the pressure cell this work considers dual diaphragm structure fitted with cantilever pickup.

Design and Simulation of Capacitive Pressure Sensor for Blood Pressure Sensing Application [PDF]
, 2023 This paper presents the mathematical modeling-based design and simulation of normal mode MEMS capacitive pressure sensor for blood pressure sensing application. The normal blood pressure of human being is 120/80 mmHg. But this range varies in case of any stress, hypertension and some other health issues.
