BACKGROUND Pectus Excavatum (PEx) is the most common congenital chest wall deformity, accounting for over 90% of all chest wall deformities. Surgical correction is recommended because severe PEx can affect the physical and psychological development of patients. The aim of our study was to assess the impact of surgical repair of Pectus Excavatum in adults during hospital course and results after...

BACKGROUND Pectus excavatum (PE) is a common chest wall malformation, with surgery being the only method known to correct the defect. Although the Nuss and Ravitch procedures are commonly used, there is no consensus as to whether surgical repair improves pulmonary function. We therefore investigated whether pulmonary function recovers after surgical repair, and if recovery is dependent on the t...

this study aimed to evaluate the effect of aerobic training with increased resistance of chest wall movement on ventilatory efficiency and pulmonary functions in untrained students. 18 untrained healthy male university students volunteered to participate in this study and were divided into two groups. they performed aerobic training with 70% – 80% of hrmax, three days a week for four weeks¬. ex...

Introduction: The high local control rates observed in patients with breast cancer who had been treated by modified radical mastectomy, chemotherapy and chest-wall irradiation using 120 kV X-rays (50 Gy in 25 fractions) motivated us to investigate their observed tumor control probability (TCP) and test a well-established radiobiological TCP model against our data. Mat...

Barrel chest is a kind of thoracic deformity. Clinically, it always secondary to chronic lung disease, which does not need treatment. also common in young people and adults. Due the serious impact on appearance thorax, patients have strong desires for surgery. We applied Wenlin procedure operation barrel achieved satisfactory results. This paper introduces 25-year-old male patient with chest.

Repair of pectus excavatum began at the beginning of the 20th century before endotracheal intubation was standard practice. Surgeons therefore developed techniques that corrected the deformity using an open procedure via the anterior chest wall. Initial techniques were unsatisfactory, but by the 1930s the partial rib resection and sternal osteotomy technique had been developed and was used in c...

The premature fusion of some the sternal ossification centers and obliteration manubrio-sternal joint caused a rare deformity called CurrarinoSilverman syndrome. Patients present an abnormally short sternum with forward angulation at junction. Cardiopulmonary diseases spinal deformities are most frequent related disorders. It was also described as component Turners Noonans syndromes.
