Comparison of two instructions for deep breathing exercise: non-specific and diaphragmatic breathing. [PDF]

J Phys Ther Sci, 2018
[Purpose] Breathing exercises are frequently prescribed to reduce pulmonary complications after abdominal and thoracic surgery. Appropriate instructions ensuring the integrity of the self-exercise are important. This study compared the effects of two instructions, focusing on non-specific breathing (NB) and diaphragmatic breathing (DB) patterns ...

Diaphragmatic Breathing Reduces Exercise‐Induced Oxidative Stress [PDF]

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2011
Diaphragmatic breathing is relaxing and therapeutic, reduces stress, and is a fundamental procedure of Pranayama Yoga, Zen, transcendental meditation and other meditation practices. Analysis of oxidative stress levels in people who meditate indicated that meditation correlates with lower oxidative stress levels, lower cortisol levels and higher ...

Quantification of diaphragmatic dynamic dysfunction in septic patients by bedside ultrasound

Scientific Reports, 2022
Although diaphragmatic dysfunction is an important indicator of severity of illness and poor prognosis in ICU patients, there is no convenient and practical method to monitor diaphragmatic function.

Spontaneous breathing approach in mild congenital diaphragmatic hernia: A resuscitation algorithm [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
BackgroundInfants with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and expected mild pulmonary hypoplasia have an estimated survival rate of 90%. Current guidelines for delivery room management do not consider the individual patient's disease severity, but an individualized approach with spontaneous breathing instead of routine mechanical ventilation could

A 3D discrete model of the diaphragm and human trunk [PDF]

, 2008
In this paper, a 3D discrete model is presented to model the movements of the trunk during breathing. In this model, objects are represented by physical particles on their contours. A simple notion of force generated by a linear actuator allows the model

Diaphragmatic breathing exercises in recovery from fatigue-induced changes in spinal mobility and postural stability: a study protocol

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Prolonged periods of sitting at work can increase trunk muscle fatigue from the continuous contraction of deep trunk muscles. Insufficient activity of these muscles can decrease muscular support to the spine and increases stress on its passive structures.

Early phrenic motor neuron loss and transient respiratory abnormalities following unilateral cervical spinal cord contusion [PDF]

, 2013
Contusion-type cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most common forms of SCI observed in patients. In particular, injuries targeting the C3-C5 region affect the pool of phrenic motor neurons (PhMNs) that innervates the diaphragm, resulting in ...
