Regional 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...
متن کاملRegional lung function in bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis.
1. The distribution of regional function in the lungs of six patient with bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis was investigated by continuous inhalation and infusion of the radioactive gases 81mKr and 85mKr during tidal breathing. 2. In the supine and right lateral decubitus postures the vertical distribution of ventilation per unit alveolar volume was less in the dependent zones, the reverse of t...
