Diaphragm thickness and inspiratory strength in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
TL;DR: Resting diaphragm thickness is increased in young patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy with impaired respiratory muscle force, analogous to the pseudo-hypertrophy that is observed in some limb muscle groups.

Size and strength of the respiratory and quadriceps muscles in patients with chronic asthma
TL;DR: Middle-aged patients with chronic asthma and a small increase in functional residual capacity/total lung capacity ratio have preserved limb muscle force and dimensions, modestly impaired inspiratory muscle strength, and slightly increased thickness of the costal diaphragm.

Pulmonary rehabilitation program including respiratory conditioning for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Improved hyperinflation and expiratory flow during tidal breathing
Kaku Yoshimi,Jun Ueki,Kuniaki Seyama,Makiko Takizawa,Seiko Yamaguchi,Eriko Kitahara,Shinji Fukazawa,Yukiko Takahama,Masako Ichikawa,Kazuhisa Takahashi,Yoshinosuke Fukuchi +10 more
TL;DR: Overall pulmonary function improved, exercise endurance increased and health-related QOL was enhanced and the rehabilitation program with respiratory conditioning significantly lowered the hyperinflation of lungs at rest as well as the expiratory flow limitation during tidal breathing.
In vivo quantification of pulmonary beta-adrenoceptor density in humans with (S)-[11C]CGP-12177 and PET.
Jun Ueki,Christopher G. Rhodes,J. M. B. Hughes,R De Silva,David C. Lefroy,P. W. Ind,F. Qing,Frank Brady,S. K. Luthra,C. J. Steel +9 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that in vivo beta-adrenoceptor density may be quantifiable in humans with the use of PET and should offer a means to study physiological regulation through repeat measurements.

Ultrasonographic evaluation of the diaphragm in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Yasuko Yoshioka,Akihiko Ohwada,Mitsuaki Sekiya,Fumiyuki Takahashi,Jun Ueki,Yoshinosuke Fukuchi +5 more
TL;DR: Real‐time diaphragmatic movement was evaluated with ultrasonography in three patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and it was revealed that the contractile function of thediaphragm was not maintained during maximum inspiratory effort, with unsatisfactory diphragmatic excursion and no change in diaphRAGmatic thickness during respiration, indicating diaphagmatic paralysis.
