DOI: 10.1007/s00441-020-03238-1
Abstract: Although the primary cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic mutation, the inflammatory response contributes directly to severity and exacerbation of the diaphragm muscle pathology. The omentum is a lymphoid organ with unique… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.acthis.2019.151487
Abstract: Sarcopenia is characterized as aging-related weakness and atrophy, which decreases the diaphragm force generating capacity leading to a decrease of expulsive non-ventilatory motor behaviors, which are critical for airway clearance. Thus, this study aimed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/01.ccm.0000643268.41526.d3
Abstract: Introduction/Hypothesis: Ventilator induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) is defined as loss of diaphragm force generating capacity due to mechanical ventilation. Diaphragm muscle thinning is one of the main feature of ventilator induced diaphragm dysfunction. VIDD is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/physiol.2023.38.s1.5731374
Abstract: The diaphragm muscle is important in both sustaining ventilation and performing higher-force behaviors necessary for maintaining airway patency. Ventilatory behaviors (i.e., eupnea and response to hypoxia-hypercapnia) require only ~20% of maximal force generation, whereas coughing… read more here.
