Diaphragm thickness by ultrasound in pediatric patients with primary malnutrition. [PDF]

Eur J Pediatr, 2023
Skeletal muscle atrophy is known to be a marker for nutritional deficiency. The diaphragm is both a skeletal muscle and a respiratory muscle. There is not enough data in the literature about the change in diaphragm thickness (DT) in children with malnutrition. We think that malnutrition may have negative effects on diaphragm thickness.

Temporal evolution of diaphragm thickness and diaphragm excursion among subjects hospitalized with COVID-19: A prospective observational study. [PDF]

Respir Med Res, 2023
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has an affinity for the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, which are present abundantly on the diaphragm. This study aims to describe temporal changes in diaphragmatic thickness and excursion using ultrasonography in subjects with acute COVID-19.This prospective ...
