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

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 ...

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