The Diaphragm Muscle Manual Evaluation Scale [PDF]
Cureus, 2019 This is a technical report describing how to use the Manual Evaluation Diaphragm (MED) scale, the only evaluation scale in the world to generate a value for the mobility of the main respiratory muscle. In a previously published paper, we described how the areas of the diaphragm should be palpated correctly because a valid manual diaphragmatic ...

Diagnostic and clinical values of non-cardiac ultrasound in COPD: A systematic review
BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2020 Background Clinical and research utility of non-cardiac ultrasound (US) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been widely investigated. However, there is no systematic review assessing the clinical values of non-cardiac US techniques in ...

Muscle Fibres of the Rat Diaphragm [PDF]
Nature, 1950 IN the course of an investigation of nerve endings in the rat diaphragm, it was noticed by Dr. J. A. Hewitt and one of us (C. S.) that the muscle fibres seemed to be of two types, reminiscent somewhat of the well-known pale and red fibres in voluntary muscles described by Jordan1 and several others. The ‘red’ variety seemed to be more numerous than the

Investigating A Dose Response Relationship between High Fat Diet Consumption and the Contractile Performance of Isolated Mouse Soleus, EDL and Diaphragm Muscles [PDF]
, 2019 PurposeRecent evidence has demonstrated an obesity-induced, skeletal muscle-specific reduction in contractile performance. The extent and magnitude of these changes in relation to total dose of high-fat diet consumption remains unclear.
