The influence of costal and abdominal pressure on the action of the diaphragm in normal and emphysematous subjects.
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of pressure on the abdomen by an abdominal belt has been advocated by Christie (1933) and by Alexander and Kountz (1934) for the treatment of emphysema. Warner and Doidge (1939) have employed a costal belt for the same purpose. Both kinds of treatment were successfully used in some patients only, and as it is the aim of the treatment to influence the range of the diaphragm it seemed useful to examine this influence in a number of normal and emphysematous subjects.

New Design of Mems piezoresistive pressure sensor
The electromechanical analysis of a piezoresistive pressure microsensor with a square-shaped diaphragm for low-pressure biomedical applications is presented. This analysis is developed through a novel model and a finite element method (FEM) model. A microsensor with a diaphragm 1000 „m length and with thickness=400 µm is studied. The electric response of this microsensor is obtained with applyi...
متن کاملPeritonitis and pneumoperitoneum due to emphysematous cholecystitis: a case report
Background: Emphysematous cholecystitis is a rare variant of acute cholecystitis with high mortality and morbidity rate. Emphysematous cholecystitis most often occurs in older men and Emphysematous cholecystitis often occurs in patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and vascular disease. The combination of emphysematous cholecystitis and pneumoperitoneum is even rarer. In this study, w...

متن کاملHydroelastic Vibration of a Circular Diaphragm in the Fluid Chamber of a Reciprocating Micro Pump
Reciprocating diaphragm micro-pumps are the most common type among indirectly–driven micro-pumps. They operate by reciprocating the diaphragm with associated check valves. This paper addresses the Hydroelastic vibration of circular elastic diaphragm interacting with the incompressible and inviscid liquid inside the cylindrical chamber with a central discharge opening. Taking into account axisym...

Background & Aim: Every surgery is followed by some changes in postoperative pulmonary function tests which can dramatically influence this period. Although the type of the surgery and its vicinity to diaphragm are the main determinants of these changes, anesthetic techniques are also responsible. Among different probable factors through which anesthesia could influence postoperative pulmon...
