Posture in thoracic surgery.
It is important in thoracic surgery to find a position upon the operating table which will combine good surgical access with the minimum interference with respiration. Present practice favours a postero-lateral approach for most thoracotomies, and for this the patient is placed with the gobod side of the chest under. The lateral position is maintained by a pad against the front of the chest and...

متن کاملSleeping posture and intraocular pressure.
INTRODUCTION This prospective observational case series aimed to determine whether the lateral decubitus position, which is commonly adopted during sleep, has an effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) in normal controls. METHODS Patients without glaucoma were recruited from those visiting outpatient clinics for non-glaucomatous conditions. The left eye of each patient was included. IOP was firs...
متن کاملTiO2 Pigment Suspension Behaviour upon Adsorption of Polymeric Dispersants
The influence of polymeric dispersants containing different functional groups on TiO2 pigment particle suspension was investigated at pH 6.0 and 9.5, using rheology and particle size data. The dispersants chosen were polyacrylic acid and modified polyacrylamides including homo and copolymers modified with carboxylate and/or hydroxyl groups. The pigment suspension was strongly affected by both p...
