Ultrasound assessment of the relation between the quantity of pleural effusion and diaphragmatic functions

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2023
Background Diaphragm is a necessary respiratory muscle. In cases with pleural effusion, abnormal diaphragmatic functions may be observed. Thoracic ultrasound is a simple, accurate, and noninvasive method to investigate the relation between the quantity ...

The effect of diaphragmatic stretch technique on diaphragmatic excursion in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

International Journal of Research in Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable pulmonary disease that has extensive pulmonary and pathological adaptations. Few of these pathological changes are airway , persistent airflow limitation, finally leading to pulmonary hyperinflation.

Transthoracic ultrasonographic evaluation of diaphragmatic excursion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2018
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a multisystem disorder that mainly besides the lungs also affects the muscle mass. The force generated by the respiratory muscles decreases, resulting in a negative effect on ventilation and ...
