The diaphragm is the primary muscle that generates the negative intrathoracic pressure to drive inspiratory airflow. The diaphragm consists of two parts, the costal and crural portions, with different roles during inspiration in animals, particularly

Introduction: Costal diaphragm electromyography (EMG) remains unpopular due to the risk of pneumothorax. In this study we assessed the safety of the “trans-intercostal” method of diaphragm EMG using B-mode ultrasound. Methods: Twenty healthy subj

Even though injection of corticosteroids into the carpal tunnel alleviates the symptoms of mild to moderately severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), it has not gained universal popularity due to its invasiveness. This study was designed to investigate
