Association Between Diaphragm Ultrasound Measures and Extubation Outcomes in Neonates: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Pediatr Pulmonol
ABSTRACT Objective We conducted a systematic review and prognostic meta‐analysis to evaluate the association between ultrasound‐derived measures of diaphragm structure and contractile activity with the risk of extubation failure in mechanically ventilated neonates.

Ultrasound imaging measurements to determine reduced diaphragm thickness and relevance to breathing pattern disorders diagnosis in females

WFUMB Ultrasound Open, 2023
Background: Breathing pattern disorders (BPD) are commonly managed by physiotherapists. As no gold-standard assessment diagnostic tools are currently available, diagnosis is challenging. Ultrasound imaging has become popular in physiotherapy.

Diaphragm: Pathophysiology and Ultrasound Imaging in Neuromuscular Disorders [PDF]

, 2018
Respiratory muscles are classically involved in neuromuscular disorders, leading to a restrictive respiratory pattern. The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle involved during inspiration. Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive, radiation-free, accurate

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.
