Pulmonary function in kyphoscoliosis.
This investigation was part of a study of kyphoscoliosis. Its objective was to determine the functional alterations in the chest cage and lung. These problems have, as we indicate in a brief review, already aroused considerable interest. However, our approach has differed from that of most previous workers in several respects. Our patients were both children (Caro and Gucker, 1958) and adults. ...
متن کاملRegional lung function in scoliosis.
Radioactive xenon-133 was used to study the pattern of regional lung function in 35 scoliotic patients and 10 normal subjects in the sitting posture. The scoliotic curves were classified into three anatomical sites: high, if the apical vertebra was located between Thl and Th5; mid, between Th6 and ThlO; and low, between Thll and L4; only the primary curve was considered and in 70% of the patien...
متن کاملRegional lung function in kyphoscoliosist
Young patients with idiopathic kyphoscoliosis are often symptom-free and remain so until middle age, when those with severe deformity may become breathless on exertion and develop respiratory or, less often, cardiac failure. Kyphoscoliosis is, by definition, primarily a disorder of the spine, but the consequent rotation of the thorax and the distortion of the trunk may be severe, especially if ...
متن کاملRegional lung function after pneumonectomy.
Hail, D. R. (1974). Thorax, 29, 425-431. Regional lung function after pneumonectomy. Regional lung function was studied with xenon-133 in 10 patients with bronchial carcinoma before and again three to six months after pneumonectomy. It was found that ventilation and perfusion were often considerably reduced in the tumour-bearing lung and that the greater part of the cardiac output had apparentl...
متن کاملRegional lung function in ankylosing spondylitis.
Xenon-133 was used to study regional pulmonary function in nine patients with chest cage rigidity due to ankylosing spondylitis. In comparison with normal subjects, the patients showed an overall diminution in lung volume and the proportion of inhaled xenon reaching the lung apices was reduced but the distribution of injected xenon was normal. The possible relationship between these findings an...
