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.

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

The Relationship Between Poor Glycemic Control and Diaphragmatic Thickness in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]

Life
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with multiple systemic complications, yet its effects on respiratory muscle structure remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to evaluate diaphragmatic morphology in patients with type 2 DM
