Role of diaphragmatic ultrasound in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

World J Clin Cases

Department of Medicine and Pharmacology, Texas A and M University, College Station, TX 77843, United States.

Assessing diaphragm function status is vital for diagnosing and treating acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Diaphrag-matic ultrasound has become increasingly important due to its non-invasive nature, absence of radiation exposure, widespread availability, prompt results, high accuracy, and repeatability at the bedside. The diaphragm is a crucial respiratory muscle.

Co-constructing Key Laboratory by Province and the Ministry of Science and Technology of Ecological Restoration and Ecosystem Management, College of Chinese Medicinal Material, Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun, 130118, China.

Panax ginseng is an important medicinal plant in China and is classified into two types: cultivated ginseng (CFCG) and mountain-cultivated ginseng (MCG). The two types of genetic varieties are the same, but the growth environments and management practices are different, resulting in substantial differences in their taproot morphology. Currently, there is a paucity of research on the internal mechanisms that regulate the phenotypic differences between cultivated ginseng and mountain-cultivated ginseng.
