Effect of a poloxamer 407-based thermosensitive gel on minimization of thermal injury to diaphragm during microwave ablation of the liver. [PDF]

, 2017
AIM: To assess the insulating effect of a poloxamer 407 (P407)-based gel during microwave ablation of liver adjacent to the diaphragm. METHODS: We prepared serial dilutions of P407, and 22.5% (w/w) concentration was identified as suitable for ablation ...

Diaphragm Bone in Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius L., 1758): Anatomy and Investigation Using Computed Tomography Imaging

Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023
The aim of this work is to provide some anatomical data using a non-invasive method. Nine entire diaphragms of adult dromedaries were collected randomly at the slaughterhouse, and the bones prepared at the anatomy laboratory of Ouargla (Algeria).

Endobronchial valve treatment improves diaphragm function in severe emphysema patients

ERJ Open Research
Background Diaphragm dysfunction is common in severe emphysema patients, primarily due to hyperinflation, placing the diaphragm at a mechanical disadvantage.

Consequences of group III/IV afferent feedback and respiratory muscle work on exercise tolerance in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Experimental Physiology, 2023
Exercise intolerance and exertional dyspnoea are the cardinal symptoms of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In HFrEF, abnormal autonomic and cardiopulmonary responses arising from locomotor muscle group III/IV afferent feedback is one

Assisted mechanical ventilation promotes recovery of diaphragmatic thickness in critically ill patients: a prospective observational study

Critical Care, 2020
Background Diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction are consequences of mechanical ventilation and are determinants of clinical outcomes. We hypothesize that partial preservation of diaphragm function, such as during assisted modes of ventilation, will restore ...

SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.
