Monitoring and assessment for obstructive sleep apnea

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
This review systematically classifies Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) monitoring indicators into three categories: physical, biochemical, and electrophysiological indicators, and lists several methods for each category. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep‐disordered breathing disease characterized by recurrent upper airway ...

Endurance exercise attenuates ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction

open access: yes, 2012
Controlled mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving measure for patients in respiratory failure. However, MV renders the diaphragm inactive leading to diaphragm weakness due to both atrophy and contractile dysfunction.

Diaphragm dysfunction predicts weaning outcome after bilateral lung transplant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Background: Diaphragm dysfunction and its effects on outcomes of ventilator weaning have been evaluated in mixed critical care populations using diaphragm thickening fraction (TFdi; the ratio of the difference between ultrasound diaphragm thickness at ...

Diaphragm Ultrasonography Reveals Progressive Changes in Diaphragmatic Function, Morphology, and Muscle Trophism During Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Children

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Diaphragm ultrasonography detected progressive structural and functional deterioration in mechanically ventilated children. Prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation and neuromuscular blocking agent use were associated with ventilator‐induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, highlighting ultrasound as a valuable bedside tool to support individualized ...

Ground movements during diaphragm wall installation in clays [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
PhDDiaphragm walls are being used increasingly in connection with building basements and road improvement schemes, particularly in urban areas. Many of these walls retain overconsolidated clay, and the magnitude of the lateral stresses which will act ...

Effects of exercise preconditioning and HSP72 on diaphragm muscle function during mechanical ventilation

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2019
Background Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life‐saving measure for patients in respiratory failure. However, prolonged MV results in significant diaphragm atrophy and contractile dysfunction, a condition referred to as ventilator‐induced diaphragm ...

Characterisation of sleep apneas and respiratory circuitry in mice lacking CDKL5

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary CDKL5 deficiency disorder is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the CDKL5 gene. Central apneas during wakefulness have been reported in patients with CDKL5 deficiency disorder. Studies on CDKL5‐knockout mice, a CDKL5 deficiency disorder model, reported sleep apneas, but it is still unclear whether these events are central (central ...

The Association of Sarcopenic Obesity With Respiratory Function Outcomes in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sarcopenic obesity has been associated with various health conditions and mortality. Our objective was to systematically review and estimate the association between sarcopenic obesity and respiratory function outcomes. We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar for observational studies involving adults (≥ 18 years), defined sarcopenic ...

Diaphragm dysfunction, lung aeration loss and weaning-induced pulmonary oedema in difficult-to-wean patients

open access: yes, 2021
Background Diaphragm dysfunction and weaning-induced pulmonary oedema are commonly involved during weaning failure, but their physiological interactions have been poorly reported.
