Inducing Penetrating Traumatic Brain Injury in Adult Drosophila Flies

419
This video demonstrates the induction of penetrating traumatic brain injury in the drosophila brain. Newly emerged flies are selected, anesthetized, and positioned under a fluorescence-equipped stereo microscope. The GFP-expressing mushroom body is identified, and a Minutien pin is inserted to cause injury. The flies are allowed to recover for further...

Thoracic Aorta01:15

Thoracic Aorta

1.5K
The thoracic section of the aorta begins at the T5 vertebra and extends to the T12 level at the diaphragm, initially progressing through the mediastinum to the left of the spinal column. Throughout its course in the thoracic segment, the thoracic aorta emits various offshoots known collectively as visceral and parietal branches. The branches that predominantly supply blood to visceral organs are termed visceral branches and include bronchial, pericardial, esophageal, and mediastinal arteries,...

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum01:17

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum

5.7K
The thoracic or rib cage forms the body's thorax (chest) portion. Its primary function in the body is to protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and the lungs. It consists of 12 pairs of ribs with their costal cartilages and the sternum. The ribs are anchored posteriorly to the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12).
The sternum is the elongated bony structure on the anterior side of the thoracic cage. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid...

The Thoracic Cage: Ribs01:20

The Thoracic Cage: Ribs

8.2K
Ribs are curved, flattened bones forming the thoracic cavity wall with the thoracic muscles. There are 12 pairs of thoracic ribs. The posterior ends of all the ribs articulate with the T1–T12 thoracic vertebrae. In contrast,the anterior ends of most ribs attach to the sternum via their costal cartilages.
Parts of a Typical Rib
A typical rib has a head, neck, and body. The posterior end of the rib is called the head, followed by a narrow neck. The head articulates primarily with the costal...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Penetrating chest injuries result from ballistic or nonballistic mechanisms.
  • These injuries can affect various thoracic structures, including the chest wall, lungs, pleura, diaphragm, and mediastinum.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the role of radiology in evaluating patients with penetrating chest injuries.
  • To highlight the spectrum of imaging findings associated with these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging findings in penetrating chest trauma.
  • Discussion of injury mechanisms and trajectory impact on evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Radiologists encounter a wide range of findings in penetrating chest injuries.
  • Emphasis is placed on imaging manifestations in the lungs, pleura, diaphragm, and mediastinum.

Conclusions:

  • Radiology plays a vital role in the comprehensive assessment of penetrating chest trauma.
  • Understanding injury mechanisms and imaging patterns is essential for accurate diagnosis.
