Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Ultrasound examination in assessing the functional state of the diaphragm in patients with respiratory failure requiring respiratory support

Вестник анестезиологии и реаниматологии
Diaphragm dysfunction (DD) is diagnosed in 60% patients 24 hours after intubation. Diaphragm ultrasound (DU) facilitates non-invasive assessment of excursion and thickness of the diaphragm throughout the breathing cycle.

Retrieval Practice Through an Integrated Anatomy Laboratory Experience in a Doctor of Physical Therapy Curriculum

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gross anatomy is a foundational first‐year component of Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curriculum, with limited future vertical integration. Retrieval practice and spaced learning to enhance retention are rarely embedded in second‐year DPT coursework.

Calpains play an essential role in mechanical ventilation-induced diaphragmatic weakness and mitochondrial dysfunction

Redox Biology, 2021
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for many critically ill patients. Unfortunately, an unintended consequence of prolonged MV is the rapid development of diaphragmatic atrophy and contractile dysfunction, known as ventilator ...
