Muscle Massage Adding Capacitive Resistive Electric Transfer Therapy in Active or Sham Condition for Post‐Exercise Recovery in Athletes: A Crossover Clinical Trial

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing demands of elite sports reduce recovery time, impair performance, and increase injury risk. Efficient lactate transport is essential for postexercise recovery. Capacitive resistive electric transfer (CRET) therapy enhances deep tissue heating, induces vasodilation, and promotes circulation. To evaluate whether adding active CRET

Diaphragm ultrasound: a bedside test for functional pulmonary assessment

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis
Background Evaluation of diaphragm when combined with spirometry, can be useful to respiratory function assessment. Forced expiratory diaphragm excursion in the first second (FEDE1)/EDEmax % is a novel diaphragm kinetics index that is related to lung ...

Myasthenia Gravis and Thymoma

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1156-1173, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with a thymoma develop myasthenia gravis (MG), and an additional one third may possess positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies without MG.

Clinical applications of diaphragm ultrasound : moving forward

, 2014
Establishing the correct time of weaning from mechanical ventilation is a crucial issue in the clinical practice. The difficult process of weaning can be due to pathological conditions that result in an imbalance between respiratory-muscle strength and ...

Exploring the Value of Quantitative Muscle Ultrasound in Neuromuscular Junction Disorders: A Pilot Study

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1281-1287, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Quantitative muscle ultrasound (QMUS) is a validated technique for assessing muscle pathology, yet its role in disorders primarily affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) remains unclear. This pilot study aimed to explore whether QMUS is associated with structural muscle changes in patients with acquired or genetic NMJ ...

First Evaluation of Ultrafast Ultrasound Coupled With Phrenic Stimulation for Noninvasive Diagnosis of Diaphragm Dysfunction

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Diaphragm dysfunction is an important and often unrecognized cause of dyspnea. The current gold standard, transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure (Pdi,tw), requires oesophageal and gastric balloon catheters and is infrequently used in routine care.
