Electrical and mechanical activity in the human lower esophageal sphincter during diaphragmatic contraction.

Mittal, R K, Rochester, D F, McCallum, R W

To determine the effect of contraction of the diaphragm on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, we studied eight healthy volunteers during spontaneous breathing, maximal inspiration, and...

Diaphragmatic blood flow and energy expenditure in the dog. Effects of inspiratory airflow resistance and hypercapnia.

Rochester, D F, Bettini, G

To investigate the mechanisms which enable the diaphragm to preserve ventilation when the work of breathing is elevated, we measured diaphragmatic blood flow (Q di) and oxygen consumption (VO2 di) in...

Effect of the diaphragmatic contraction on lower oesophageal sphincter pressure in man.

Mittal, R K, Rochester, D F, McCallum, R W

The effect of diaphragmatic contraction and relaxation on the lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) pressure was studied in 10 healthy volunteers. Pressures in the oesophagus, LOS, and stomach were...

Respiratory muscle and pulmonary function in polymyositis and other proximal myopathies.

Braun, N M, Arora, N S, Rochester, D F

We studied 53 patients with proximal myopathy to determine at what level of muscle weakness hypercapnic respiratory failure is likely, and which tests of pulmonary function or respiratory muscle...
