Diaphragm Muscle Weakness with Age and Sepsis
Muscle weakness can be caused by a number of factors and disorders. Muscular contractile function declines with age, which can further complicate symptoms in septic and elderly patients. As such, one group of muscles that are of specific interest are the respiratory muscles. This publication review explores diaphragmatic contractile function in two different studies using mice.
