Incidence and predictive factors of diaphragmatic dysfunction in acute stroke
BMC Neurology, 2019 Background The most characteristic clinical signs of stroke are motor and/or sensory involvement of one side of the body. Respiratory involvement has also been described, which could be related to diaphragmatic dysfunction contralateral to the brain ...

Comparing open and minimally invasive surgical procedures for oesophagectomy in the treatment of cancer: the ROMIO (Randomised Oesophagectomy: Minimally Invasive or Open) feasibility study and pilot trial [PDF]
, 2015 Localised oesophageal cancer can be curatively treated with surgery (oesophagectomy) but the procedure is complex with a risk of complications, negative effects on quality of life and a recovery period of 6-9 months. Minimal-access surgery may accelerate

International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2018 Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is a serious complication following abdominal-thoracic trauma and is often missed in acute phase due to the presence of concurrent injuries. It can present later as diaphragmatic hernia which carries high morbidity and

Extraction of Weak Surface Diaphragmatic Electromyogram Using Modified Progressive FastICA Peel-Off [PDF]
arXivDiaphragmatic electromyogram (EMGdi) contains crucial information about human respiration therefore can be used to monitor respiratory condition. Although it is practical to record EMGdi noninvasively and conveniently by placing surface electrodes over chest skin, extraction of such weak surface EMGdi (sEMGdi) from great noisy environment is a ...
