Diaphragm and ventilatory dysfunction during cancer cachexia

The FASEB Journal, 2013
Cancer cachexia is characterized by a continuous loss of locomotor skeletal muscle mass, which causes profound muscle weakness. If this atrophy and weakness also occurs in diaphragm muscle, it could lead to respiratory failure, which is a major cause of death in patients with cancer.

Exercise Training Prevents Diaphragm Contractile Dysfunction in Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose: Patient studies have demonstrated the efficacy of exercise training in attenuating respiratory muscle weakness in chronic heart failure (HF), yet direct assessment of muscle fiber contractile function together with data on the underlying ...

Transperineal ultrasound versus digital palpation: Identifying key parameters for objective pelvic floor muscle contraction assessment

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Transperineal ultrasound demonstrates high reproducibility and objectivity in evaluating pelvic floor muscle contractility. When integrated with digital palpation, it enhances functional assessment and facilitates standardized, imaging‐based strategies for individualized pelvic floor muscle training in clinical practice.

Cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure: from the case to review of literature [PDF]

, 2016
In response to an increased workload due to physiological or pathological stimuli, the heart may undergo a process of growth with increased muscle mass called cardiac hypertrophy. It is a particular mechanism of long term compensation used by the heart

Cytochrome P450 1A1 influences obesity‐induced pulmonary hypertension

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The contribution of obesity to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Adipose tissue synthesises estrogens via cytochrome P450 (CYP) 19A1 (aromatase), whereas circulating estrogens are metabolised in the lung by CYP1A1.

Diaphragm function and weaning from mechanical ventilation: an ultrasound and phrenic nerve stimulation clinical study

Annals of Intensive Care, 2018
Background Diaphragm dysfunction is defined by a value of twitch tracheal pressure in response to magnetic phrenic stimulation (twitch pressure) amounting to less than 11 cmH2O.

TNF‐α partially modulates the endothelial dysfunction during the acute phase of Trypanosoma cruzi infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Whereas the effects of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection are well‐characterised in the heart, its impact on the vasculature has received little attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of acute and chronic T. cruzi infection on vascular responsiveness and the underlying mechanisms.
