The question is, though: Are you breathing efficiently? The answer to that depends on whether or not you’re fully using your diaphragm, a key breathing muscle. Like any muscle of the body ...

The authors report that chemogenetic methods targeting the ventral cervical spinal cord can be used to increase phrenic inspiratory motor output and subsequent diaphragm EMG activity and ventilation ...

Electromyography (EMG) is a method to record the electrical activity of skeletal muscle. It uses a thin needle electrode inserted into the muscle through the skin and can be used to diagnose ...

Result: A total of 1954 participants from 39 studies were included. Among them, there were 1,135 participants from 19 studies on diaphragm, 259 participants from 6 studies on extra-diaphragmatic ...

Introduction: The role of reverse trigger (RT) was unknown in ventilated non-acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. So we conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the incidence, ...

Breathing results from the interaction of two distinct oscillators: the pre-Bötzinger Complex (preBötC), which drives inspiration; and the lateral parafacial region (pFRG), which drives active ...
