Automated evaluation of diaphragm configuration based on chest CT in COPD patients

European Radiology Experimental
Background Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often results in hyperinflation and flattening of the diaphragm. An automated computed tomography (CT)-based tool for quantifying diaphragm configuration, a biomarker for COPD, was developed ...

Investigation into diaphragm flexibility using shear wall

Građevinar, 2014
The diaphragm stiffness has a significant influence on the structural responses. Typically engineers assume those diaphragm are rigid. This assumption decreases the degree of freedom and provides easier analysis. But diaphragm damages in past earthquakes,

Semi-Automated Analysis of Diaphragmatic Motion with Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Healthy Controls and Non-Ambulant Subjects with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Subjects with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) suffer from progressive muscle damage leading to diaphragmatic weakness that ultimately requires ventilation.

Role of chest ultrasound in diaphragmatic assessment among stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients before and after pulmonary rehabilitation

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2021
Background The cornerstone of nonpharmacological treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is pulmonary rehabilitation, not only for enhancement of exercise performance but also for improvement of quality of life.

Chloride‐Mediated Electron Buffering on Ni‐Fe Anodes for Ampere‐Level Alkaline Seawater Electrolysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Utilizing abundant chloride ion (Cl−) of seawater, the small organic molecule (SOM) layer on the electrocatalyst surface is converted to SOM‐Cl layer. Meanwhile, the conjugated structure of SOM is modified. SOM‐Cl layer can effectively mitigate the damage caused by the highly oxidative environment.

Composition and Resulting Band Alignment at the TiO2/InP Heterointerface: A Fundamental Study Combining Photoemission Spectroscopy and Theory

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The chemical composition and band alignment are systematically investigated at the TiO2/InP heterointerface. Thin TiO2 films are deposited by ALD on atomically ordered, P‐terminated p‐InP(100). By combining UPS, XPS, and ab initio molecular dynamics, the atomistic structure and electronic alignment are revealed.
