Respiration during sleep in neuromuscular and thoracic cage disorders.
Many of the neuromuscular and thoracic cage disorders are associated with disorders of breathing during sleep. The abnormal mechanics of the chest wall impairs respiratory muscle function and this is compounded if there is underlying muscle weakness. Respiratory abnormalities appear during REM sleep before NREM or wakefulness. Central sleep apnoeas are characteristic, but obstructive apnoeas ar...
متن کاملThoracic, Thoraco-abdominal, and Abdominal Duplication.
Christine G. aged 8 years was admitted to this unit for elective thoracotomy for a bi-lobed right-sided posterior mediastinal lesion. At the age of 7 months she had been admitted to another hospital with profuse melaena. On 1 May 1956 laparotomy revealed a small bowel duplication 50 cm. in length, terminating distally in what appeared to be a Meckel's diverticulum. At the base of the diverticul...
متن کاملSimulation on Movement of Healthy Human Soft Palate during Respiration
INTRODUCTION The compliance of upper airway tissues during respiration could lead to snoring in human subjects and collapse of the airway in patients of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The patterns of dynamic wall movement of human upper airway and the causes of OSA are still not fully understood. This study attempts to simulate the movement of human soft palate during respiration using fluid-st...
متن کاملThoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Aneurysms of the aorta are at times evaluated and treated by physicians from a number of specialties. Indeed, whereas cardiac surgeons operate on the ascending aorta and arch and vascular surgeons manage abdominal aortic aneurysms, at present the responsibility often falls to cardiologists to oversee the medical care of patients with aortic disease of all types. However, although formally train...
متن کاملCorrection: Quantitative Analysis of Respiration-Related Movement for Abdominal Artery in Multiphase Hepatic CT
OBJECTIVES Respiration-induced motion in the liver causes potential errors on the measurement of contrast medium in abdominal artery from multiphase hepatic CT scans. In this study, we investigated the use of hepatic CT images to quantitatively estimate the abdominal artery motion due to respiration by optical flow method. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 132 consecutive patients were include...
