A case of acute pancreatitis in a 43-year-old male patient, which was eventually diagnosed as agenesis of dorsal pancreas with eventration of left hemidiaphragm and intrapancreatic pseudocyst is being reported.

The present paper describes the influence of cross talk from the abdominal and intercostal muscles on the canine diaphragm electromyogram (EMG). The diaphragm EMG was recorded with bipolar surface electrodes placed on the costal portion of the diaphragm (abdominal side), aligned in the fiber direction, and positioned in a region with a relatively low density of motor end plates. The results ind...

Unilateral paralysis of the diaphragm, not the result of a deliberate operative procedure, is uncommon. It may have a variety of causes, but so far as I am aware pneumonia* has never previously been included amongst them. The commoner causes of unilateral paralysis are diseases of the cervical spinal cord affecting the anterior horn cells of the fourth segment, such as poliomyelitis, tumour, pr...

The combination of pulmonary agenesis and anophtalmia or microphthalmia has been described previously. This condition is known as Matthew-Wood syndrome and PDAC syndrome (pulmonary hypoplasia/ agenesis, diaphragmatic hernia/eventration, anophthalmia/microphthalmia, and cardiac defect). We report a sporadic case of female infant with the combination of bilateral microphthalmia, unilateral right ...

the case is 43 years old woman referred to emergency department of our hospital with quadriplegia and severe respiratory insufficiency due to c5-c6 injury after falling. she discharged from icu after fixation of the lesion and successful weaning. we evaluated electrical activity of diaphragm signal (edi), respiratory drive (p100) during one month period. we detected increase in level of electri...

Purpose: Eventration is a rare complication after laparotomy and its treatment is actually not standardized. We retrospectively analyzed 12 patients with early postoperative eventration; 8 of 12 were treated with use of biological mesh (non-cross-linked porcine derma). Materials and Methods: We observed, from January 2009 to January 2014, 12 patients with eventration. In 4/12 patients we perfor...

In this paper, using theory of sheets, the deflection of suspended diaphragm has been obtained under uniform and circular loading. This type of diaphragm, unlike other diaphragms, has a central support which is recommended to be used in MEMS applications. The relationship between diaphragm deflection and static analysis of this diaphragm enjoys a great significance in investigating and understa...

In this paper the effect of corrugated diaphragm on performance of MEMS microphone is described. The corrugated diaphragm is modeled in order to improve the sensitivity of micromachined silicon acoustic sensor. Analytical analyzes have been carried out to derive mathematic expressions for the mechanical sensitivity and displacement of corrugated diaphragm with residual stress. It is shown that ...
