Assessment of excursion and thickness of diaphragm by ultrasound during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and correlation with severity of airway obstruction

Journal of Association of Pulmonologist of Tamil Nadu, 2023
Background: Diaphragm dysfunction in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis of diaphragm dysfunction and aggressive management to improve the diaphragm function and

Applying lessons from limb muscle disuse and ageing to better understand ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction. [PDF]

Exp Physiol
Abstract Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life‐saving intervention applied to critically ill patients. A common consequence of MV is ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD), which is characterized by significant diaphragm atrophy and reduced contractile function. Older patients who receive MV are more likely to develop VIDD, have worse recovery,

Diaphragm atrophy and contractile dysfunction in a murine model of pulmonary hypertension. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) causes loss of body weight and inspiratory (diaphragm) muscle dysfunction. A model of PH induced by drug (monocrotaline, MCT) has been extensively used in mice to examine the etiology of PH.

Diaphragmatic Dynamics and Thickness Parameters Assessed by Ultrasonography Predict Extubation Success in Critically Ill Patients

Clinical Medicine Insights: Circulatory, Respiratory and Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
INTRODUCTION A frequent cause of weaning and extubation failure in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients is diaphragm muscle dysfunction. Ultrasound (US) evaluation of the diaphragm yields important data regarding its thickness (diaphragm ...

Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.
