Assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by ultrasonography in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
INTRODUCTION:In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) the assessment of diaphragmatic function is crucial because respiratory muscle weakness can cause respiratory failure.

Ultrasonographic evaluation of diaphragmatic thickness in adolescents with thoracic hyperkyphosis: new horizons in diagnosis [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Purpose Thoracic hyperkyphosis (THK) is a prevalent spinal deformity in adolescents, which can impair respiratory function by affecting diaphragm morphology and thoracic mechanics.

Ultrasound Versus Computed Tomography for Diaphragmatic Thickness and Skeletal Muscle Index during Mechanical Ventilation [PDF]

Diagnostics, 2022
Background: Diaphragmatic alterations occurring during mechanical ventilation (MV) can be monitored using ultrasound (US). The performance of computed tomography (CT) to evaluate diaphragmatic thickness is limited. Further, the association between muscle

Computed tomographic diaphragmatic thickness: a promising method for the evaluation of diaphragmatic muscle in cardiopulmonary diseased cats. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci, 2023
Diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) is defined as a weakening of the diaphragmatic muscle and can be an undetected cause of dyspnea. The objectives of this study were to explore the appropriate diaphragmatic location, measure diaphragmatic thickness (DT), evaluate the effect of intrinsic factors on DT, and compare DT between healthy and diseased cats, using

Diaphragmatic thickness and excursion by lung ultrasound in pediatric chronic pulmonary diseases. [PDF]

J Ultrasound, 2022
Many patients with chronic pulmonary diseases, such as interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, suffer from dyspnea and exercise intolerance. Reduced lung compliance is the main cause of the patients' dyspnea, but weak respiratory muscles could be an additional factor.

The effect of cervical spondylosis on diaphragmatic thickness and excursion in nonsmoking adults

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research, 2021
Background Cervical spondylosis is defined as a series of signs and symptoms that result in anatomical and physiological changes in the vertebral column that may impair phrenic nerve function by compressing the C3/C5 that affect diaphragmatic movements ...

Sonographic evaluation of diaphragmatic thickness and excursion as a predictor for successful extubation in mechanically ventilated preterm infants. [PDF]

Eur J Pediatr, 2021
Sonographic assessment of diaphragmatic thickness and excursion has been found to be an accurate tool in predicting successful extubation of adult patients from invasive mechanical ventilation. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of sonographic assessment of diaphragmatic thickness and excursion in predicting successful extubation of preterm infants from

Diaphragmatic thickness in chronic obstructive lung disease and relationship with clinical severity parameters [PDF]

Turk J Med Sci, 2019
Sonographic assessment of diaphragm structure and function would be a useful clinical tool in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our aim was to determine the muscle thickness of the diaphragm and the usefulness of clinical practice in patients with COPD.The diaphragmatic thickness of 34 COPD patients and 34 healthy subjects was
