Ultrasound Imaging for Diaphragm Dysfunction: A Narrative Literature Review.

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2019
Of the various muscles that make up the respiratory system, the diaphragm is the prima donna. In the past, only specialist research centers were able to estimate and challenge the effort of this muscle; this was achieved by measuring transdiaphragmatic ...

Early Postmortem Metabolism and Protease Activation in Fast Glycolytic and Slow Oxidative Bovine Muscles

open access: yesMeat and Muscle Biology, 2021
Muscle properties and metabolism influence muscle to meat conversion. Fiber type profile impacts glycolytic capacity as well as protein turnover rate in vivo.

Early phrenic motor neuron loss and transient respiratory abnormalities following unilateral cervical spinal cord contusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Contusion-type cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most common forms of SCI observed in patients. In particular, injuries targeting the C3-C5 region affect the pool of phrenic motor neurons (PhMNs) that innervates the diaphragm, resulting in ...

Endometriosis of Diaphragm: A Case Report [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2018
Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age. Its main feature is the presence of stroma and endometrial glands in sites other than the uterus, mainly in pelvis. Pelvic peritoneum, ovaries, uterine ligaments, bladder, intestines, andcul-

Three-Dimensional Myoarchitecture of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter and Esophageal Hiatus Using Optical Sectioning Microscopy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Studies to date have failed to reveal the anatomical counterpart of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). We assessed the LES and esophageal hiatus morphology using a block containing the human LES and crural diaphragm, serially sectioned at 50 μm ...

Ultrathin graphene diaphragm-based extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer for ultra-wideband fiber optic acoustic sensing.

open access: yesOptics Express, 2018
An ultra-wideband fiber optic acoustic sensor based on graphene diaphragm with a thickness of 10nm has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The two reflectors of the extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer is consist of fiber endface and graphene ...

The influence of tensile forces on the deflection of circular diaphragms in pressure sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
It is known that the deflection of a diaphragm is determined by two mechanisms, bending moments or bending stress and tensile forces or membrane stress.\ud \ud Usually the influence of tensile forces is not taken into account when calculating the ...

Lung and Intercostal Upper Abdomen Ultrasonography for Staging Patients with Ovarian Cancer: A Method Description and Feasibility Study

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2020
A detailed transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound examination, performed by an expert examiner, could render a similar diagnostic performance to computed tomography for assessing pelvic/abdominal tumor spread disease in women with epithelial ovarian ...

Breathing: Motor Control of Diaphragm Muscle.

open access: yesPhysiology, 2018
Breathing occurs without thought but is controlled by a complex neural network with a final output of phrenic motor neurons activating diaphragm muscle fibers (i.e., motor units).

Sex differences in exercise-induced diaphragmatic fatigue in endurance-trained athletes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
There is evidence that female athletes may be more susceptible to exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia and expiratory flow limitation and have greater increases in operational lung volumes during exercise relative to men.
