The effect of expiratory rib cage compression before endotracheal suctioning on the vital signs in patients under mechanical ventilation. Background: In patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, mucus production and secretion is high as a result of the endotracheal tube. Because endotrachea... P Bous...
In an attempt to assess the action of the sternocleidomastoid muscles on the human rib cage, we studied the pattern of rib cage motion in 2 patients with complete transection of the upper cervical cord. Measurements of rib cage motion were obtained with magnetometers and chest roentgenograms, ...
First I felt like this movement in my lower left side of my stomache. then it went away but now it's like under my belly button!! I don't know what it is. And I don't want to know what it is (but really I do!), I just want it to stop. I'm afraid it's a parasite ...

"Soma is by far the best muscle relaxer that is under the 'muscle relaxer class'. Even with extreme stiffness and spasms that have been left untreated for years, Soma is the only muscle relaxer that provides relief. Many doctors won't prescribe it because they say it can be abused, whic...
Studies suggesting that abnormal motion of the rib cage (RC) and abdomen (Ab) may indicate respiratory muscle fatigue have not separated the influence of respiratory load from that of fatigue in its pathogenesis. We hypothesized that abnormalities on RC-Ab motion are primarily related to increased...
i have so much pain in my right side i think it is muscle spasms. it's under my rib and goes to the side. i also get very bad leg spasms. Byanon60716— On Jan 15, 2010 #45 that is what I get. how can a doctor or someone answer these questions. could this be a heart attac...
In contrast to OI type IV patients, whose chest wall geometry and function was normal, OI type III patients were characterized by reduced (p<0.01) angle at the sternum (), paradoxical inspiratory inward motion of the pulmonary rib cage, significant thoraco-abdominal asynchronies and rib cage ...
This movement of the rib cage may also reduce the stability of the proximal attachments of the abdominal muscles [37]. There may be minor contribu- tions in the force output from chest and shoulder mus- cles, such as the upper trapezius muscles, because during the task, the trunk was ...
. Left ventricular ejection fraction and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) was determined from peak tricuspidal jet velocity using the simplified Bernoulli equation and combining this value with an estimate of the right atrium pressure: sPAP = 4(V)2 + RA pressure, where V is ...
