: Ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is located using ultrasound at the level of midaxillary line and fifth rib, a certain amount local anesthetics injected either superficially or deeply into muscle, blocking third to sixth intercostal nerves, long thoracic thoracodorsal nerves. It mainly used in breast surgeries, rib fractures thoracotomy manage pain anterolateral chest wa...

BACKGROUND  In neurological diseases, winging of the scapula occurs because of serratus anterior muscle dysfunction due to long thoracic nerve palsy, or trapezius muscle dysfunction due to accessory nerve palsy. Several sports can cause long thoracic nerve palsy, including archery and tennis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of long thoracic nerve palsy in an aquatic sport. OBJECTIV...

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is rare and aggressive. A 68-year-old female with no medical history, was admitted to our institution for cervical cellulitis. After a conventional medical treatment, multiple abscesses of the upper mediastinum appeared on computed tomography (CT) findings. Although two cervicotomies were performed, a new necrotic abscess appeared in the anterior upper...

Forward head and rounded shoulder posture (FHRSP) is theorized to contribute to alterations in scapular kinematics and muscle activity leading to the development of shoulder pain. However, reported differences in scapular kinematics and muscle activity in those with forward head and rounded shoulder posture are confounded by the presence of shoulder pain. Therefore, the purpose of this study wa...

In recent years, with the continuous development and validation of new visualization, ultrasound-guided peripheral trunk block becomes more mature has a extensive broader implementation scope in clinical anesthesia. Based on this, we reviewed summarized literature nerve include: paraspinal block, retrolaminar plane erect spinal muscle, transverse convex to pleural midpoint trapezius muscle ante...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify effects of push-up plus exercise on different support surfaces on upper extremity muscular activity. [Subjects] The subjects were 28 students (10 males, 18 females) at B University. [Methods] The subjects performed push-up plus exercises either on slings or on a fixed support. [Results] Push-up plus exercises on slings showed significant incre...

The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is a novel device now accepted in clinical practice for treating ventricular arrhythmias. In 14 consecutive patients, S-ICD devices were placed in the virtual space between the anterior surface of the serratus anterior muscle and the posterior surface of the latissimus dorsi muscle. During a mean follow up of 9 months, no dislocati...
