Contribution of stretch to the change of activation properties of muscle fibers in the diaphragm at the transition from fetal to neonatal life.
The transition from fetal to postnatal life involves clearance of liquid from the lung and airways, and rapid formation of a functional residual capacity. Despite the importance of the diaphragm in this process, the impact on the mechanical and functional activity changes of its muscle fibers is not...
