Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Systemic Air Embolism Associated with Pleural Pigtail Chest Tube Insertion

open access: yesCase Reports in Pulmonology, 2016
Pleural pigtail catheter placement is associated with many complications including pneumothorax, hemorrhage, and chest pain. Air embolism is a known but rare complication of pleural pigtail catheter insertion and has a high risk of occurrence with ...

High‐pressure leakage of pleural fluid through the healed entry site of the indwelling pleural catheter from undrained locules

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, 2020
The indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) is an established treatment for recurrent pleural effusion. Fluid leakage through the IPC insertion tract has been reported, but its occurrence is only limited to a short period after the procedure.

Two case reports of two interventional radiology techniques for the treatment of stage II empyema: Hydrodissection and guidewire-dissection

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports, 2023
Empyema is an infection of the pleural space that is classified into 3 stages. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is recommended as the first-line approach for stage II acute empyema. The purpose of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is also achieved

First reports on the relationship between the eggshell and bone mineralization in Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia embryos

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Composed of various minerals, the eggshell provides ideal conditions for embryonic development, and understanding its composition and structure is essential for clarifying its relationship with bone formation. This study characterized the structure and mineral profile of the Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia eggshell in relation to ...

Pleural liquid pressure measured with rib capsules in anesthetized ponies

open access: yes, 1988
Pleural liquid pressure was measured at end expiration in 11 spontaneously breathing anesthetized ponies in the prone and supine positions. A liquid-filled capsule was implanted into a rib to measure pleural liquid pressure with minimal distortion of ...

Effect of positive-pressure ventilatory frequency on regional pleural pressure. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Regional lung ventilation is modulated by the spatiotemporal distribution of alveolar distending forces. During positive-pressure ventilation, regional transmission of airway pressure (Paw) to the pleural surface may vary with ventilatory frequency (f ...

Modified Endoscopic Vacuum Assisted Closure (E-VAC) is a novel minimally invasive technique for treating esophageal pleural fistulas

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Surgery Open, 2023
Background: Surgical pathologies of the esophagus in the pediatric age are not unusual. However, when they appear, they are not complications-free. These include anastomotic dehiscence or pleural fistulas.

Lung Ultrasound for the Detection of Radiologic Progression of Interstitial Lung Abnormalities in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important extra‐articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associated with high mortality and morbidity. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) has recently emerged as a possible screening tool. We assessed the role of LUS in monitoring radiologic progression and the development of new interstitial lung ...
