Multiple acquired portosystemic shunts in a cat secondary to chronic diaphragmatic rupture [PDF]
, 2015 A cat with a chronic diaphragmatic rupture presented with neurological signs, including twitching and focal seizures. Blood ammonia level was markedly elevated and therefore neurological signs were thought to be related to hepatic encephalopathy ...

Ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction in critical illness [PDF]
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2018 Mechanical ventilation is an essential intervention for intensive care unit patients with acute lung injury. However, the use of controlled mechanical ventilation in both animal and human models causes ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction, wherein a substantial reduction in diaphragmatic force-generating capacity occurs, along with structural ...

Diaphragm Dysfunction (Paralysis) in a Cystic Fibrosis Patient [PDF]
Austin Journal of Women’s Health, 2021 Diaphragmatic Paralysis (DP) is a rare disease and usually occurs secondary to systemic processes, although idiopathic forms have been described. Management of diaphragmatic paralysis depends on multiple factors, including the etiology, presence, or absence of symptoms, and more importantly, the presence of nocturnal hypoventilation.

Early changes in rat diaphragm biology with mechanical ventilation [PDF]
, 2003 To better characterize the effects of 24-hour mechanical ventilation on diaphragm, the expression of myogenic transcription factors, myosin heavy chains, and sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase pumps was examined in rats.

Diaphragm dysfunction: weaning perspective
Qatar Medical Journal, 2020 Weaning is the process of successfully liberating the patient from mechanical ventilation. The majority of patients will separate from the ventilator after a successful spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). In a minority of patients, weaning can be challenging and prolonged.

Ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction: cause and effect [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2013 Mechanical ventilation (MV) is used clinically to maintain gas exchange in patients that require assistance in maintaining adequate alveolar ventilation. Common indications for MV include respiratory failure, heart failure, drug overdose, and surgery.

Diaphragmatic thickening fraction as a predictor for intubation in patients with COVID-19
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022 The diaphragm is the primary respiratory muscle, and its dysfunction predisposes patients to respiratory failure. Diaphragm function can be assessed by ultrasound measurement - Diaphragmatic Thickening Fraction (DTF).
