Deformation of the dog lung in the chest wall

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1990
Data on the shape of the chest wall at total lung capacity (TLC) and functional residual capacity (FRC) were used as boundary conditions in an analysis of the deformation of the dog lung. The lung was modeled as an elastic body, and the deformation of the lung from TLC to FRC caused by the change in chest wall shape and gravity were calculated ...

Pectus deformities of the anterior chest wall

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2003
Pectus deformities affect about 1% of the population. Despite a subjective reduction in exercise tolerance, objective physiological disturbance is very uncommon. However, there is no doubt that cultural changes have significantly altered perception and tolerance of these deformities and increasing numbers of children are actively seeking surgery ...

Chest Wall Deformities and Their Correction in Bodybuilders

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1990
Torn pectoralis major muscles are either treated acutely by orthopedic surgeons or, if neglected, result in deformities of the pectoralis muscle. These deformities are visible, with pectoralis muscle asymmetry, especially on muscle contraction. Bodybuilders prone to this injury accentuate the asymmetry by contracting the pectoralis muscles together ...

An Approach to the Management of Chest Wall Deformities

1991
Chest wall deformities are seen frequently in children and adolescents. Fortunately, the deformity is usually mild and the only therapeutic requirement is patient and family reassurance. If the deformity is more severe, consideration must be given to surgical correction.
