Respiratory response to abdominal and rib cage muscle paralysis in dogs.

open access: yes, 1993
peer reviewedTo assess the respiratory response to abdominal and rib cage muscle paralysis, we measured tidal volume, esophageal and gastric pressures, arterial blood gases, and the electromyogram (EMG) of the diaphragm during progressive epidural ...

Evidence for involvement of amino acid neurotransmitters in anesthesia and naloxone induced reversal of respiratory paralysis

open access: yes, 1994
General anesthetics render a person unconscious and may produce respiratory paralysis at therapeutic doses. No pharmacological agent is available to restore respiration and the mechanism/s of anesthesia or apnea is not clearly understood. In this report,

Hypokalemic paralysis and respiratory failure due to excessive intake of licorice syrup

open access: yes, 2014
Licorice is the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, which has a herbal ingredient, glycyrrhizic acid. Excessive intake of licorice may cause a hypermineralocorticoidism-like syndrome characterized by sodium and water retention, hypokalemia, hypertension ...

Detecting unilateral phrenic paralysis by acoustic respiratory analysis

open access: yes
The consequences of phrenic nerve paralysis vary from a considerable reduction in respiratory function to an apparently normal state. Acoustic analysis of lung sound intensity (LSI) could be an indirect non-invasive measurement of respiratory muscle ...
