Ultrasound as diagnostic tool in diaphragm dysfunction:a prospective construct validity study [PDF]

INTRODUCTION: Diaphragm dysfunction is a frequently overlooked cause of dyspnea. Diagnosis typically relies on a combination of history, symptoms, and imaging. Diaphragm ultrasound is a promising alternative for fluoroscopy.

A Tale of Two Choices: Son Preference and Reproductive Outcomes in Uzbekistan

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we use data from the recent round of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) conducted between 2021 and 2022 to estimate the effect of son preference on reproductive behavior in Uzbekistan. We find strong evidence for differential stopping and spacing behavior among Uzbek women.

From an abdominal ultrasound to a lung disease passing through the diaphragm: a case of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

, 2020
Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease characterized by abnormal and excessive deposition of collagen in the pulmonary interstitium (fibrosis) with minimal associated inflammation evolving into progressive and ...

Traction suture fixation technique using a capsular tension ring fragment for severe lens displacement during cataract surgery in dogs

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 197-206, March 2025.
Abstract Objectives To describe the traction suture fixation technique for severely displaced lenses (≥180°) using a capsular tension ring (CTR) fragment during cataract surgery in dogs, and to retrospectively investigate its clinical outcomes. Animals Studied Eight dogs (nine eyes). Procedures The medical records of dogs with severe lens displacement (

A reliable M-mode ultrasound protocol for the assessment of diaphragm motion [PDF]

, 2014
Diaphragm is the principal inspiratory muscle. Different techniques have been used to assess diaphragm motion. Among them, M-mode ultrasound has gain particular interest since it is non-invasive and accessible.

Temporary caval occlusion technique during right divisional hepatectomy for massive hepatocellular carcinoma with caudal vena cava compression/involvement in dogs

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To describe the perioperative and long‐term outcomes of dogs with massive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the right hepatic division causing compression or involvement of the caudal vena cava (CVC) treated with right divisional hepatectomy using temporary caval occlusion (TCO). Study design Retrospective case series.

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.

Pressure‐dependent coupling between arterial pressure and intercostal muscle blood‐flow index during acute hypotension in humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Regulation of respiratory muscle blood flow during acute systemic hypotension remains poorly understood in humans because continuous assessment of microvascular perfusion during rapid haemodynamic transients has been technically challenging. Using diffuse correlation spectroscopy, we investigated second‐by‐second coupling between mean arterial

Diaphragm ultrasound in children useful in emergency and non-emergency indications. Clinical applications: A systematic review

M-mode ultrasonography has been used in the assessment of diaphragm kinetics. The sonographic diaphragmatic parameters can provide valuable information in the assessment and follow-up of patients with diaphragmatic dysfunction, during ventilation, and ...

Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...
