Mask Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Increases Diaphragm Thickening Fraction in Healthy Subjects.

open access: yesRespiration
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The most widespread treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The addition of inspiratory support is a potential alternative.

Early changes in diaphragmatic function evaluated using ultrasound in cardiac surgery patients: a cohort study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Little is known about the evolution of diaphragmatic function in the early post-cardiac surgery period. The main purpose of this work is to describe its evolution using ultrasound measurements of muscular excursion and thickening fraction (TF).

Effect of flocculant dosage on the settling properties and underflow concentration of thickener for flocculated tailing suspensions

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2023
Flocculation is important in the thickening process to improve the underflow concentration in thickeners for tailing suspensions. Traditional zone settling velocity (ZSV) functions ignore the effect of flocculant dosage on the ZSV and the thickening ...

Sonographic examination of respiratory muscles in chronic obstructive lung disease and evaluation of the relationship with clinical severity of exacerbation

open access: yesNorthwestern Medical Journal, 2022
Aim: This study aimed to sonographically examine the fraction of thickening in the respiratory muscles during the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to determine its relationship with the clinical severity of the ...

Correlation of diaphragm thickening fraction and oesophageal pressure swing in non-invasive ventilation of healthy subjects. [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Pulm Med
Abstract Introduction The diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) may be a valuable tool for estimating respiratory effort in non-invasive ventilation. The primary aim of this physiological study is the investigation of the correlation of DTF with oesophageal pressure swings (ΔPoes).
