Thoracic Aorta01:15

Thoracic Aorta

1.9K
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,...

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

12.6K
The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum01:17

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum

8.5K
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

9.3K
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...

Center of Gravity00:58

Center of Gravity

6.8K
The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

Center of Gravity

2.2K
The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Thoracic Trauma Management
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Thoracic trauma significantly contributes to trauma-related mortality.
  • Understanding morbidity, mortality, and interventions is vital for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate morbidity and mortality rates in patients treated for thoracic trauma.
  • To analyze interventions performed for thoracic trauma cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective evaluation of 404 inpatient cases of thoracic trauma.
  • Data collected between January 2005 and December 2008.

Main Results:

  • Blunt trauma accounted for 39.6% and penetrating trauma for 60.4% of cases.
  • Pneumothorax (28.4%), hemothorax (24.5%), and hemopneumothorax (14.1%) were common injuries.
  • Tube thoracostomy was effective in ~80% of patients; 12.6% required major surgery.
  • Overall mortality rate was 2.2%.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt interventions upon injury are essential for thoracic trauma patients.
  • Optimizing the time from trauma to emergency department arrival is critical.
  • Effective intensive care and timely interventions can decrease thoracic trauma mortality and morbidity.
