Abstract: Design of the study, critical revision, final approval. ABSTRACT PURPOSE:To evaluate the tissue integration of a double-sided mesh after fixation in diaphragm and to study the diaphragmatic mobility by ultrasound. METHODS:Twenty male Wistar rats were used. The animals were assigned into two equal groups according to the day of euthanasia.The animals were anesthetized and a 1.5 x 1.5 cm of double-layer mesh was inserted between the diaphragm and the liver. For the evaluation of the diaphragm mobility a sonograp… Show more

“…Diagnostic ultrasound imaging techniques are frequently applied to larger animals or human subjects but seldom in the smaller animals, certainly not in those rodent species in which VIDD has been studied. There exist only a limited number of studies using ultrasound for studying the diaphragm in a rodent model (16)(17)(18), which is likely due to the challenges of performing ultrasound on small-scale subjects. Likely triggered by the increasing use in ventilated human subjects, diagnostic ultrasound imaging techniques have been applied in rodents to accurately evaluate in vivo longitudinal assessments of diaphragm mobility in mice (16).…”

“…Likely triggered by the increasing use in ventilated human subjects, diagnostic ultrasound imaging techniques have been applied in rodents to accurately evaluate in vivo longitudinal assessments of diaphragm mobility in mice (16). Furthermore, long-term treatments focused on enhancing diaphragm contractility may be accurately assessed via ultrasound in rodent models without sacrificing animals for experimentation; it is also suitable for monitoring disease progression in live animals (17,18).…”
