Coagulation and fibrinolysis in hyperparathyroidism secondary to vitamin D deficiency
Introduction: Abnormal coagulation tests have been observed in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) suggesting a prothrombotic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Vitamin D deficiency (VIDD) is the most frequent cause of secondary HPT. Aim of

Diaphragm dysfunction induced by mechanical ventilation – pathophysiology and treatment options [PDF]
Majority of mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care units (ICU) suffer from diaphragm dysfunction. It occurs in approximately 60 to 80 % of such patients.

Imaging of the Diaphragm Following Cardiac Surgery: Focus on Ultrasonographic Assessment
Diaphragm dysfunction is a common complication following cardiac surgery. Its clinical impact is variable, ranging from the absence of symptoms to the acute respiratory failure. Post‐operative diaphragm dysfunction may negatively affect patients' prognosis delaying the weaning from the mechanical ventilation (MV), extending the time of hospitalization ...

Controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) can cause diaphragmatic motionlessness to induce diaphragmatic dysfunction. Partial maintenance of spontaneous breathing (SB) can reduce ventilation-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). However, to what extent

Lung-protective ventilation worsens ventilator-induced diaphragm atrophy and weakness
Background Lung–protective ventilation (LPV) has been found to minimize the risk of ventilator–induced lung injury (VILI). However, whether LPV is able to diminish ventilator–induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) remains unknown.
