Ultrasound in critically ill patients: focus on diaphragm [PDF]

Intensive Care Medicine, 2013
Dear Editor,We read with great interest the reviewof Matamis and co-workers aboutdiaphragm evaluation with ultra-sounds in critically ill patients [1].We would like to add some consid-erations about three relevant issues.The authors state that duringassisted mechanical ventilation(namely pressure support ventilation,PSV), the diaphragmatic ...

Diaphragmatic thickening fraction as a predictor for intubation in patients with COVID-19

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022
The diaphragm is the primary respiratory muscle, and its dysfunction predisposes patients to respiratory failure. Diaphragm function can be assessed by ultrasound measurement - Diaphragmatic Thickening Fraction (DTF).

Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.

Testing and Simulation of Multilayer Polyvinylidene Fluoride‐Based Piezoelectric Energy Harvester Devices

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The study considers the use of polymer/dielectric‐based multilayers piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (EH) to produce an output voltage and current, by exploiting the mechanical energy provided by human organs movements. In particular, the heart motion is considered from the kinematic viewpoint, and a multiphysics theoretical model is developed to assess
