Right phrenic nerve palsy following transcatheter radiofrequency current atrial fibrillation ablation: Case report

Journal of International Medical Research, 2019
Phrenic nerve palsy (PNP) is a well-known complication of cardiac surgery or jugular/subclavian vein catheterization, presenting with cough, hiccups, dyspnoea/shortness of breath and, in some cases, ventilatory failure.

Microsurgical technique for concurrent cervical corpectomy and ventral phrenic nerve access in the rat

MethodsX, 2019
The phrenic nerve is useful to record as a motor output in studies investigating neural control of respiration. It may be accessed via dorsal or ventral microsurgical approaches. Since such studies frequently involve concurrent access to the spinal cord,

Intra‐Procedural Three‐Dimensional Rotational Angiography in Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: An RCT

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The impact of various imaging techniques on the safety and outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation remains unclear. Intra‐procedural three‐dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) is the least used imaging method despite some benefits.

Combined multi‐metric assessment of diaphragm contractile function in healthy humans: Feasibility, validity and reliability

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The combined use of subcostal ultrasonography and respiratory manometry represents a novel, integrative method for quantifying diaphragm contractile function (force, velocity and power). We evaluated the technical feasibility, construct validity and within‐day test–retest reliability of this method during non‐volitional, volitional and ...

Bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis after an unusual physical effort

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Diaphragmatic paralysis is an uncommon cause of pulmonary dysfunction and can occur after traumatic phrenic nerve injury. Penetrating and blunt trauma to the neck is the most recognized mechanism of injury being stretching of the nerves very uncommon. We

Neuromuscular and neuromechanical assessments of respiratory performance in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy across the natural history of disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe life‐limiting X‐linked neuromuscular disorder characterised by progressive skeletal muscle degeneration and respiratory failure. The mdx mouse, lacking dystrophin, is the most widely used preclinical model of DMD, yet the trajectory of respiratory dysfunction in this model remains incompletely ...

An Evaluation of Tissue Destruction Time in Phrenic Nerve after Death and Counting the Number of Nerve Fibers in C3, C4 and C5 Branches

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, 2017
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Most studies related to phrenic nerve are conducted based on an anatomical perspective and there is no histological study associated with this nerve.

Pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors mediate sustained sympathoexcitation during high altitude hypoxia in humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sympathetic nervous system activation is a hallmark of high‐altitude hypoxia, yet the afferent mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We examined the relative contributions of pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors and carotid chemoreceptors – two excitatory pathways co‐activated by hypoxia – to sustained sympathoexcitation at altitude.

Pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors modulate exercise‐induced sympathetic activation in healthy humans during moderate‐intensity hypoxic exercise

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This randomized cross‐over trial (N = 12) addressed the hypothesis that selective reduction of pulmonary arterial pressure (i.e. manipulation of pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptor activation) during hypoxic exercise would reduce sympathetic outflow (muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA)) in healthy humans.

Reinnervation of the diaphragm by the inferior laryngeal nerve to the phrenic nerve in ventilator-dependent tetraplegic patients with C3-5 damage

ERJ Open Research, 2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of unilateral diaphragmatic reinnervation in humans by the inferior laryngeal nerve. This pilot study included chronically ventilated tetraplegic patients with destruction of phrenic nerve motoneurons.
