Diaphragmatic electromyography in preterm infants: The influence of electrode positioning.

abstract：:Progressive lung disease in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by thick secretions, which cause airway obstruction and subsequent colonization and infection by inhaled pathogenic microorganisms. Recently, recombinant human DNase has been shown to reduce the viscoelasticity of sputum in patients with cystic f...
