Respiratory function of hyoid muscles and hyoid arch [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The position of the hyoid arch suggests that it supports soft tissue surrounding the upper airway (UA) and can act to maintain UA patency. We also suspected that muscles inserting on the hyoid arch might show respiratory patterns of activity that could ...

Myths and methodologies: Invasive and non‐invasive assessment of respiratory muscle activity in humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology
Survival relies on neural respiratory drive from the medullary respiratory centres to activate the respiratory muscles for breathing. Accurate assessment of respiratory muscle activity, as an estimate of neural respiratory drive in humans, will ...

The role of extradiaphragmatic muscles’ ultrasound on the diagnosis and follow-up of diaphragmatic dysfunction associated with cervical septic arthritis: A case report and literature review

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia
Cervical septic arthritis can lead to complications such as epidural abscess, which may result in respiratory failure. We present a case of a 78-year-old male with cervical septic arthritis complicated by epidural abscess, leading to severe diaphragm ...

Respiratory muscles in endocrinopathies

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine, 1993
The aim of this review was to demonstrate that RM function is altered in various endocrinopathies and that RM weakness is a common finding. RM function has been well-studied in diseases such as thyroid dysfunction, and steroid induced RM myopathies.

Early Clinical, Imaging, and Pathological Characteristics of SRPK3/TTN‐Digenic Myopathy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy was recently established as a skeletal muscle myopathy caused by digenic inheritance. This study characterizes the early clinical presentation of SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy in one previously reported and seven newly identified pediatric patients.

Effect of acute and chronic pressure-threshold inspiratory muscle training on upper and lower airway function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.There is evidence to suggest that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) may influence the functional properties of the muscles of the upper (UA) and lower (LA ...

Quantitative Computed Tomography Assessment of Respiratory Muscles in Male Patients Diagnosed with Emphysema

open access: yes대한영상의학회지, 2018
Purpose: The aim of this study was to accurately evaluate the significance and correlation between the clinical severity and the morphologic feature of respiratory muscles in patients with emphysema as noted using computed tomography (CT).

Recurrent Hypothermia and Autonomic Dysfunction Secondary to Shapiro Syndrome

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 44‐year‐old man presented with recurrent hypothermia, diaphoresis and hypertension. Extensive investigation for infectious, inflammatory, metabolic and endocrine aetiologies was negative. MR scan of the brain demonstrated no lesions but revealed callosal dysgenesis, consistent with Shapiro syndrome.

Domiciliary nasal respiratory support : first experiences in Malta [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Nasal respiratory support is a non-invasive alternative to conventional assisted ventilation with endotracheal intubation, or the more cumbersome negative pressure ventilators.
