RATIONALE Diaphragmatic Hernia is rare as complication of Colonoscopy. Diaphragmatic hernia as a complication of colonoscopy has been reported only few cases. Additionally, it is often misdiagnosed as other disease by clinicians due to their lack of related knowledge, which delays diagnosis of Diaphragmatic hernia and thus exacerbates the prognosis. PATIENT CONCERNS We report the case of a 66...

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS Postoperative diaphragmatic hernia, following liver resection, is a rare complication. METHODS Data of patients who underwent major hepatectomy for liver tumors, between 2011 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. The literature was searched for studies reporting the occurrence of diaphragmatic hernia following liver resection. RESULTS Diaphragmatic hernia developed in 2.3...

BACKGROUND Diaphragmatic dysfunction found in the patients with acute lung injury required prolonged mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation can induce production of inflammatory cytokines and excess deposition of extracellular matrix proteins via up-regulation of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1. Lumican is known to participate in TGF-β1 signaling during wound healing. The mechanisms...

INTRODUCTION Traumatic diaphragmatic hernias are an unusual presentation of trauma, and are observed in about 10% of diaphragmatic injuries. The diagnosis is often missed because of non-specific clinical signs, and the absence of additional intra-abdominal and thoracic injuries. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 59-year-old Italian man hospitalized for abdominal pain and vomiting. His m...

Missed injuries and delayed diagnosis are still common problems in the treatment of trauma patients especially, polytrauma. Diaphragmatic quite one most important missed injuries. It can result from either blunt or penetrating trauma. Traumatic diaphragmatic (TDI) may go unnoticed initially later present as life-threatening conditions. Here we such a case fatal injury, which was diagnosed durin...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia / hiatal (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia CDH) alters normal cardiopulmonary physiology in neonates or pediatric patients due to pressure from the abdomen into thoracic cavity. The open surgical and laparoscopic approaches pose challenges for anesthesiologist team because of complications CDH surgery itself. We present a case successful anesthetic management 2-ye...

Introduction: Interventions for older adults with multiple medical diagnoses may need to have a more general focus that can be applied across broad range of conditions. Ba-Duan-Jin (BDJ), non-disease specific Tai Chi-QI Gong based mind-body training coordinated deep breathing, good choice. Case Description: A 79-year-old white female patient, cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, and perceived sle...

objective(s): bidens species are used for their antidiabetic properties traditionally in many countries. aim of this study is to evaluate hypoglycaemic and antidiabetic activity of bidens tripartita extract and to identify its active compounds through bioactivity guided isolation technique. materials and methods: hypoglycaemic effects of b. tripartita extract and its sub-extracts were investiga...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the applicability of ultrasound imaging of the diaphragm in interstitial lung disease (ILD). METHODS Using ultrasound, we compared ILD patients and healthy volunteers (controls) in terms of diaphragmatic mobility during quiet and deep breathing; diaphragm thickness at functional residual capacity (FRC) and at total lung capacity (TLC); and the thickening fraction (TF,...
