Abdominal muscle flap for repair of large congenital diaphragmatic hernia: Ultrasound evidence for retained motor muscle function

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2019
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs in approximately one of 3500 live births. It includes a congenital defect of the diaphragm through which bowel and other abdominal organs herniate into the thoracic cavity. Pulmonary hypoplasia is an essential

Computed tomography findings of peritoneal tumour in the absence of primary lesions: preliminary study

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 8, Page 532-537, August 2026.
Primary peritoneal tumours are uncommon and include mesothelioma and carcinoma. Mesothelioma identification is challenging, as there are no established rapid diagnostic methods. In the absence of a simple means of diagnosis, evaluation often requires several invasive biopsies, highlighting the need to develop a definitive diagnostic method.

Influence of Body Position Changes on Diaphragmatic Excursion Assessed by Ultrasonography in a Healthy Population

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: The diaphragm is the primary respiratory muscle, and its proper function is essential for efficient breathing. Respiratory muscle weakness is a common complication that can hinder the withdrawal of mechanical ventilation.

Diaphragmatic dysfunction

Pulmonology, 2019
The diaphragm is the main breathing muscle and contraction of the diaphragm is vital for ventilation so any disease that interferes with diaphragmatic innervation, contractile muscle function, or mechanical coupling to the chest wall can cause diaphragm ...

Estimation of persistent inward currents contribution to inspiratory motoneuron firing in humans

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 15, Page 6488-6505, 1 August 2026.
Abstract figure legend Nerve cells in the spinal cord (alpha motoneurons) send signals to breathing muscles to control their contraction. The strength of these signals is boosted by persistent inward currents (PICs), which consist of a sustained flow of calcium (Ca2+) and sodium (Na+) ions into the motoneuron that helps start, amplify and sustain ...

Inspiration Time: The Ultrasound Variable Necessary to Study the Diaphragm Functionality. A Cross-Sectional Controlled Study

SAGE Open Nursing
Introduction The diaphragm is considered the main inspiratory muscle, and as such, its assessment is crucial in patients with respiratory pathology. It is known that the contractile capacity of a muscle is determined by strength, length, and the duration

Reliability of ultrasonic diaphragm thickness measurement in mechanically ventilated infants and children: A pilot study

Southern African Journal of Critical Care, 2018
Background. Diaphragmatic atrophy in mechanically ventilated infants and children may be due to ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, which could lead to extubation failure.

Diaphragmatic and excursion thickness in newborns using diaphragmatic kinesiology ultrasound: an observational study

Fisioterapia em Movimento
Abstract Introduction The study of the diaphragm muscle has aroused the interest of physiotherapists who work with kinesiological ultrasonography, but still little explored; however, its findings can contribute to the clinical practice of hospitalized patients in neonatal intensive care units.
