Genome-wide identification of FoxO-dependent gene networks in skeletal muscle during C26 cancer cachexia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Evidence from cachectic cancer patients and animal models of cancer cachexia supports the involvement of Forkhead box O (FoxO) transcription factors in driving cancer-induced skeletal muscle wasting. However, the genome-wide gene networks and

Study of Risk Factors and Image Findings of Isolated Abdominal Incidentally Detected Aortic Dissection

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 429-435, March/April 2025.
We detect the risk factors and image characteristics of incidentally detected IAAD. Independent risk factors of IAAD included fatty liver and smoking. In the ultrasound findings of IAAD, an intimal flap was frequently observed. In the CT scan, displacement of intimal calcifications was frequently observed. For suspected IAAD, the abdominal aorta should

Prolonged mechanical ventilation worsens sepsis-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction in the rat.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
BackgroundShort-term mechanical ventilation (MV) protects against sepsis-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. Prolonged MV induces diaphragmatic dysfunction in non-septic animals, but few reports describe the effects of prolonged MV in sepsis.

Characterisation of hemidiaphragm dysfunction using dynamic chest radiography: a pilot study

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2022
Objectives Dynamic chest radiography (DCR) is a novel real-time digital fluoroscopic imaging system that produces clear, wide field-of-view diagnostic images of the thorax and diaphragm in motion, alongside novel metrics on moving structures within the ...

Restoring Functional Status: A Long-Term Case Report of Severe Lung and Ventilatory Muscle Pump Dysfunction Involving Recurrent Bacterial Pneumonias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background and Purpose: Prolonged mechanical ventilation contributes to immobility and deconditioning making efforts to safely discontinue ventilator support desirable. This case report documents how implementing physical therapy treatment interventions,

The Correlation Between Body Fat Percentage and Peak Expiratory Flow in Children Aged 10-12 Years at SD Negeri 8 Dauh Puri [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: The accumulation of fat decreases lung function. Peak expiratory flow is an indicator for assessing pulmonary function and can be used to identify the narrowing or obstruction of the airway. This study aimed to examine the correlation between

Exploring the Clinical Potential of Dynamic Digital Radiography: A Narrative Review

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) is a promising X‐ray technology that captures rapid image sequences, enabling the visualisation of moving anatomical structures for various clinical applications, including pulmonary, cardiac and orthopaedic assessments.

A case of stapled resection of redundant diaphragm and early evisceration of gastrointestinal content

open access: yesVideosurgery and Other Miniinvasive Techniques, 2018
Diaphragm paralysis has been observed following cervical spinal cord and diaphragm injuries. Patients with diaphragm paralysis require plication of the diaphragm if significant pulmonary dysfunction occurs.

Mechanical ventilation causes diaphragm dysfunction in newborn lambs [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Care, 2019
Diaphragm weakness occurs rapidly in adult animals treated with mechanical ventilation (MV), but the effects of MV on the neonatal diaphragm have not been determined. Furthermore, it is unknown whether co-existent lung disease exacerbates ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD).

Neurocardiovascular deficits in the Q175 mouse model of Huntington's disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Cardiovascular dysautonomia as well as the deterioration of circadian rhythms are among the earliest detectable pathophysiological changes in individuals with Huntington's disease (HD). Preclinical research requires mouse models that recapitulate disease
