DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-93761-4
Abstract: Diaphragm is crucial for respiration and plays a significant role in trunk stabilization, particularly during postural tasks. Several studies have focused primarily on trunk muscles in lumbar instability (LI) patients. However, the role of diaphragm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.202111-1280oc
Abstract: RATIONALE In mechanically ventilated patients, diaphragm thinning on ultrasound is thought to correlate with diaphragm atrophy and has been associated with prolonged intubation. Factors other than atrophy, however, may cause changes in diaphragm thickness, which… read more here.
