Cerebral haemodynamic responses to inspiratory muscle work

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fatiguing inspiratory work has been shown to evoke a sympathetically mediated reflex that has systemic cardiovascular consequences, including increases in heart rate and blood pressure and a decrease in resting limb vascular conductance. Moreover, the response to this reflex appears to be attenuated in females compared with males.

Diaphragm ultrasound as a predictor for the need for respiratory support at discharge in patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Diaphragm dysfunction during exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has prognostic and therapeutic implications. The utility of the latter in predicting continued need for respiratory support at the time of discharge is worth ...

Prevention of Adverse Events in Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Biliary Drainage

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided biliary drainage (EUS‐BD) is used when biliary drainage using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fails. Recently, it has been adopted as a primary biliary drainage method, and its indications have expanded.

Operator independent continuous ultrasound monitoring of diaphragm excursion predicts successful weaning from mechanical ventilation: a prospective observational study

Critical Care
In mechanically ventilated patients, diaphragm ultrasound can identify diaphragm weakness and predict weaning failure. We evaluated whether a novel operator-independent ultrasound-based medical device allowing continuous monitoring of the diaphragm ...

Standardized Approach for Laparoscopic Hemispheric Liver Resection for Segments 7 and 8

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background We investigated whether the standardized “can‐opener method” surgical technique is an adequate surgical procedure for hemispheric hepatectomy in segments 7 and 8. Methods Forty‐two patients who underwent laparoscopic hemispheric liver resection for segments 7 and 8 using our standardized surgical technique were enrolled.

Ultrasound assessment of diaphragmatic dysfunction in non-critically ill patients: relevant indicators and update

Frontiers in Medicine
Diaphragm dysfunction (DD) can be classified as mild, resulting in diaphragmatic weakness, or severe, resulting in diaphragmatic paralysis. Various factors such as prolonged mechanical ventilation, surgical trauma, and inflammation can cause ...
