As it plays such a vital role, a continuous arterial and venous blood supply is of the utmost importance. It is therefore not surprising to find described in the literature a complex system of anastomoses that contributes to the maintenance of this muscle’s life-preserving contraction. Understanding the anatomy of the dia- phragm and any divergence in its vasculature is literally vital to humanity. In the light of this, we review the literature on the blood supply to the diaphragm, with specific emphasis on the recent description of the inferior phrenic vessels and the superior phrenic artery, summarize the clinical significance of the dia- phragmatic vasculature and suggest future avenues of study to further expand on this current body of knowledge.

The Five Diaphragms in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine: Myofascial Relationships, Part 1
Open Access Review Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.7794 The Five Diaphragms in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine: Myofascial Relationships, Part 1 Bruno Bordoni 1 1. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Foundation Don Carlo Gnocchi, Milan, ITA Corresponding author: Bruno Bordoni, [email protected] Abstract Working on the diaphragm muscle and the connected diaphragms is part of the respiratory-circulatory osteopathic model. The breath allows the free movement of body fluids and according to the concept of this model, the patient's health is preserved thanks to the cleaning of the tissues by means of the movement of the fluids (blood, lymph). The respiratory muscle has several systemic connections and multiple functions. The founder of osteopathic medicine emphasized the importance of the thoracic diaphragm and body health. The five diaphragms (tentorium cerebelli, tongue, thoracic outlet, thoracic diaphragm and pelvic floor) represent an important tool for the osteopath to evaluate and find a treatment strategy with the ultimate goal of patient well-being. The two articles highlight the most up-to-date scientific information on the myofascial continuum for the first time. Knowledge of myofascial connections is the basis for understanding the importance of the five diaphragms in osteopathic medicine. In this first part, the article reviews the systemic myofascial posterolateral relationships of the respiratory diaphragm; in the second I will deal with the myofascial anterolateral myofascial connections. Categories: Medical Education, Anatomy, Osteopathic Medicine Keywords: diaphragm, osteopathic, fascia, myofascial, fascintegrity, physiotherapy Introduction And Background Osteopathic manual medicine (OMM) was founded by Dr AT Still in the late nineteenth century in America [1]. OMM provides five models for the clinical approach to the patient, which act as an anatomy physiological framework and, at the same time, can be a starting point for the best healing strategy [1].

Prevalence of Diaphragmatic Muscle Weakness and Dyspnoea in Graves
European Journal of Endocrinology (2002) 147 299–303 ISSN 0804-4643 CLINICAL STUDY Prevalence of diaphragmatic muscle weakness and dyspnoea in Graves’ disease and their reversibility with carbimazole therapy Ravinder Goswami, Randeep Guleria1, Arun Kumar Gupta2, Nandita Gupta, Raman Kumar Marwaha, Jitender Nath Pande1 and Narayana Kochupillai Departments of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1Medicine and 2 Radiodiagnosis, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi 110029, India (Correspondence should be addressed to R Goswami; Email: [email protected] or R Guleria; Email: [email protected]) Abstract Objectives: Dyspnoea is a common complaint among patients with thyrotoxicosis. However, its causative mechanisms have not been identiﬁed. We assessed the role of thoracic diaphragmatic muscle weakness in dyspnoea among patients with active Graves’ disease. Methods: Twenty-seven patients (19 female, 8 male) with active Graves’ disease were assessed for the clinical severity of dyspnoea, functional (pressure generating capacity) and anatomical aspects (thickness and excursion) of the diaphragm at presentation. The severity of dyspnoea was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the 6 min walk test. Lung function tests, diaphragmatic strength (sniff oesophageal pressure, SniffPoeso), maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures, diaphragmatic thickness and movements on real time ultrasonography were evaluated during normal and deep respiration. Twenty of the 27 patients were reassessed after achieving euthyroidism with carbimazole

Minding the Breath
3rd Principle - Minding the Breath Sifu Chris Bouguyon, MMQ [email protected] T. 214-476-1721 Sifu Fayne Bouguyon, LMT [email protected] T. 214-476-1719 1719 Analog Drive Richardson, TX 75081 April Principle Qigong Focus: Minding the Breath This is the third Qigong Principle in our year long, exploration of self through each of 8 Qigong Principles. We will share perspective on all three layers, physical, mental and emotional. The level at which you participate is always up to you. Qigong Principle 3 - Minding the Breath The practice of mindfully optimizing the physical activity of breathing, becoming fully present within each moment in a way that relaxes your body, settles your mind and eases your heart. Physical Level Goal: Understand the importance and value of maintaining a full, relaxed breath. Yes, we all breathe, but how well do we breathe? Do you find your breathing pattern to be shallow and tight, full and relaxed or somewhere in between? Because the breath is an autonomic (automatic) process, we rarely pay attention to it which leads to many of us having irregular, shallow and interrupted breathing patterns. By consciously optimizing our breathing patterns, we begin to take control of our health on physical, mental and emotional levels. Mindful breath training can improve lung performance, increase oxygen uptake and release hormones which relax muscles and dilate blood vessels, leading to increased blood flow and improved lymph circulation. Mental Level Goal: Recognize and understand how mental disruptions can affect the quality of our breathing pattern. What happens when we concentrate intensely, fight heavy traffic or a watch a suspenseful movie? We have a tendency to hold or interrupt our natural breathing pattern.

Cardiovascular System 9. Nervous System 4. Urinary System 10.Reproductive System 5. Skeletal System 11.Exocrine System 6. Muscular System (Integumentary System) Day 1: Respiratory System Respiratory System The respiratory system includes air passages (airways) and the lungs. It is responsible for taking in oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. Lungs The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located in the chest. Lungs take in oxygen from the atmosphere and moves it through the bloodstream. They also release carbon dioxide from the bloodstream back into the atmosphere. The right lung is bigger than the left lung—the left lung shares its space with the heart. Diaphragm The thoracic diaphragm is a sheet of skeletal muscle the separates the heart and lungs from the abdominal cavity. The diaphragm is the main muscle for breathing. As the diaphragm contracts, the lungs draw in air. Pharynx The technical name for your throat is pharynx. It is a tube that carries food to your esophagus and air to your windpipe and larynx. Larynx The larynx is the portion of the breathing, or respiratory, tract containing the vocal cords which produce vocal sound. It is located between the pharynx and the trachea. The larynx, also called the voice box, is a 2- inch-long, tube-shaped organ in the neck. We use the larynx when we breathe, talk, or swallow. Its outer wall of cartilage forms the area of the front of the neck referred to as the "Adams apple." The vocal cords, two bands of muscle, form a "V" inside the larynx.
