Descriptive Epidemiology and Prognostic Significance of Diaphragm Thickness in the General Population: The Nagahama Study [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Diaphragm thickness is a potential marker of sarcopenia in addition to muscle mass and strength at extremities. We aimed to clarify the descriptive epidemiology and prognostic significance of diaphragm thickness in the general population ...

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

European Journal of Pediatrics, 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 ...

Diaphragm excursion and thickness in patients with chronic low back pain with and without lumbar instability

Scientific Reports
Diaphragm is crucial for respiration and plays a significant role in trunk stabilization, particularly during postural tasks. Several studies have focused primarily on trunk muscles in lumbar instability (LI) patients.

The Effects of Positive End Expiratory Pressure and Lung Volume on Diaphragm Thickness and Thickening. [PDF]

Diagnostics (Basel), 2023
Introduction: Diaphragm dysfunction is common in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. The application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and the varying end-expiratory lung volume cause changes in diaphragm geometry. We aimed to assess the
