The Musculoskeletal Consequences of Mouth Breathing in Adults: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Chronic mouth breathing can have a negative impact on posture, cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), reduced masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, and suprahyoid muscle overuse. Postural changes include a head forward posture and increased lumbar lordosis.

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Ultrasound of the diaphragm in severe hypokalemia induced diaphragmatic dysfunction

, 2017
Severe hypokalemia presents with significant muscle weakness and involvement of respiratory muscles. Bedside ultrasonography of the diaphragm is emerging as a noninvasive bedside tool for diagnosis and followup of diaphragmatic dysfunction due to various

Predictors for Successful Non‐Invasive Ventilation in Patients With Neuralgic Amyotrophy and Phrenic Nerve Involvement

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Phrenic nerve involvement in neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) may cause diaphragm paresis and respiratory impairment, for which chronic non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) may be beneficial. Data on treatment success and predictors are lacking.

Intraoperative hemidiaphragm electrical stimulation reduces oxidative stress and upregulates autophagy in surgery patients undergoing mechanical ventilation: exploratory study

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2016
Background Mechanical ventilation (MV) during a cardio-thoracic surgery contributes to diaphragm muscle dysfunction that impairs weaning and can lead to the ventilator- induced diaphragm dysfunction.

Diaphragm dysfunction during weaning from mechanical ventilation: an underestimated phenomenon with clinical implications

, 2018
International audienceRecent findings suggest that diaphragm dysfunction is frequently involved during weaning failure and that it is associated with poor prognosis at time of liberation from mechanical ventilation.

Reduced Phrenic CMAP Amplitudes in Obesity Despite Preserved Diaphragm Ultrasound Measures

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Phrenic nerve conduction studies (NCS) are regularly used in the evaluation of neuromuscular respiratory dysfunction; however, the impact of body mass index (BMI) on phrenic compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes remains poorly characterized. We evaluated the relationship between BMI and phrenic CMAP amplitudes in

Dynamic Digital Radiography in Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome: Visualizing Diaphragm Motility Impairment and Its Influence on Clinical Management

Diagnostics
A 40-year-old woman with a known diagnosis of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) began experiencing progressive shortness of breath and reduced exercise tolerance following her second pregnancy. The patient underwent an unenhanced computed tomography (CT) scan

Endobronchial valve treatment improves diaphragm function in severe emphysema patients

ERJ Open Research
Background Diaphragm dysfunction is common in severe emphysema patients, primarily due to hyperinflation, placing the diaphragm at a mechanical disadvantage.
