Regional pulmonary ventilation and perfusion distribution in patients with untreated idiopathic scoliosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Regional lung function using xenon-133 was studied in 45 seated patients aged 11 to 78 years with untreated idiopathic scoliosis and angulation of curvature between 10 and 1900. Perfusion distribution was assessed by intravenous bolus injection of '33Xe and distribution of ventilation to volume ratios by washouts after inhalation and intravenous injection. No consistent differences between the lungs on the convex and concave sides of the curvature

Pulmonary function in children with idiopathic scoliosis
Idiopathic scoliosis, a common disorder of lateral displacement and rotation of vertebral bodies during periods of rapid somatic growth, has many effects on respiratory function. Scoliosis results in a restrictive lung disease with a multifactorial decrease in lung volumes, displaces the intrathoracic organs, impedes on the movement of ribs and affects the mechanics of the respiratory muscles. ...

Central haemodynamics in 23 patients with mitral stenosis and 7 control subjects were compared with the results of regional lung perfusion studied by (133)Xe, pulmonary scintigraphy with (99)mTc-labelled macro-aggregates of albumin, and regional ventilation by (133)Xe.A close correlation was found between both methods assessing regional pulmonary perfusion, i.e. pulmonary scintigraphy and (133)...

Background: Scoliosis is one of the most common spinal deformities with subsequent decrease in pulmonary function. The effects of surgical correction on the pulmonary function of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis are controversial. The purpose of the present study was to compare the postoperative pulmonary function changes in different surgical approaches chosen for its correction. ...

Nineteen survivors of congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair were compared with age and sex matched control children six to 11 years after repair. All subjects were examined clinically and underwent lung function testing. The patients also had individual lung volumes assessed radiographically and had radionuclide (krypton-81 m, technetium-99 m macroaggregates) ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) lung s...

Introduction: The idiopathic scoliosis is a spinal deformity developed in three-dimensions that if untreated, can worsened to back pain, impaired vital capacity and psychosocial disturbances. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of a course of corrective exercises on postural and biomechanical parameters in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Materials and Methods: 25 patient...
