Psychiatry related information on Thoracic Wall

 

High impact information on Thoracic Wall

  • Radiotherapy was given to the chest wall and locoregional lymph nodes between the fourth and fifth cycles of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil [8].
  • Similarly, Black women were almost twice as likely as White women to have tumors that were larger than 5 cm or tumors that had extensions to the chest wall or skin at presentation [9].
  • Patients whose tumors stain for S100A4 and possess involved lymph nodes (P < 0.0001), which are fixed to the chest wall (P = 0.015) or which stain for c-erbB-2 (P = 0.050), show a significant reduction in survival times over those with only S100A4-staining tumors [10].
  • Two immunizations of L1 cells each followed by IL-2 administration were given prior to challenge with live L1 cells s.c. on the right chest wall [11].
  • Monophasic and single capacitor and dual capacitor biphasic truncated exponential shocks were tested in pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs with use of a nonthoracotomy internal defibrillation pathway consisting of a right ventricular catheter electrode and a subcutaneous chest wall patch electrode [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Thoracic Wall

 

Biological context of Thoracic Wall

  • The physical stimuli associated with reduction of tidal volume (i.e., changes in lung inflation and chest wall movement) appeared to mediate the attenuated depressor response to the injection of lidocaine into the lateral rostral ventrolateral medulla [18].
  • The mechanics of the chest wall was studied in seven asthmatic patients before and during histamine-induced bronchoconstriction (B) [19].
  • During the second test, the workload profile was matched to that of the first test (66 watts and same exercise stages) and ventricular pacing rate was incremented via chest wall stimulation and reproduced exactly the heart rate profile of the first test in DDD mode [20].
  • These results confirm other studies of the vascular effects of halothane, and do not support the hypothesis that blood volume redistributes from the legs to within the chest wall during anaesthesia [21].
  • In this study, we have determined the effects of halothane on respiratory system, pulmonary and chest wall resistive, elastic and viscoelastic mechanical properties, and related the results to findings from lung histology in intact normal rats [22].
 

Anatomical context of Thoracic Wall

  • The effects of diaphragmatic breathing learning on chest wall motion, mechanical efficiency of the respiratory muscles, breathing pattern, and dyspnea sensation were studied in seven patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (FEV1 34 +/- 7% of the predicted value) during loaded and unloaded breathing [23].
  • It is concluded that: 1) in contrast to volatile anesthetic agents, ketamine anesthesia has a sparing effect on intercostal muscle activity, which may explain the maintenance of FRC; and 2) changes in chest wall geometry and compliance induced by anesthetic agents must be taken into account for NIM to be valid [24].
  • To protect the thoracic wall, an aluminium-lead disc is placed between the gland and the pectoralis muscle [25].
  • The macromolecular Gd-labeled dendrimer (a half-life of approximately 80 min) increased the signal-to-noise by 81 +/- 30% in the left ventricle, 43 +/- 22% in the lung periphery, and -4 +/- 5% in the chest wall, thus increasing the contrast of these structures relative to the less vascular surrounding tissues [26].
  • RESULTS: Sixteen of the 20 patients with clinically diagnosed costochondritis showed increased technetium uptake at all costochondral junctions bilaterally; six of them also had increased uptake elsewhere on the chest wall (sternum, manubrium, or first rib) [27].
