The Thoracic Cage: Ribs01:20

The Thoracic Cage: Ribs

8.3K
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...

Predicting Reaction Outcomes

Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

Outcomes of Glycolysis

106.8K
Nearly all the energy used by cells comes from the bonds that make up complex organic compounds. These organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules, such as glucose. As a result, cells extract energy from glucose over many chemical reactions—a process called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

3.7K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.7K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Convergent Evolution

31.6K
Evolution shapes the features of organisms over time, ensuring that they are suited for the environments in which they live. Sometimes, selection pressure leads to the rise of similar but unrelated adaptations in organisms with no recent common ancestors, a process known as convergent evolution.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery
  • Chest Wall Deformities

Background:

  • Chest wall shape is crucial for successful breast augmentation.
  • Minor deformities like winged ribs are often underestimated and can negatively impact results.
  • Winged rib syndrome causes discomfort and reduces patient satisfaction after augmentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an innovative surgical technique for simultaneous breast augmentation and correction of lower costal cartilage dysmorphia (winged rib).
  • To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and aesthetic outcomes of this combined surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A novel surgical technique involving resection of protruding costal cartilages and concurrent breast implant placement through a single incision.
  • Application of the technique in six patients with winged ribs undergoing breast augmentation.

Main Results:

  • No intraoperative or early postoperative complications were observed in the six patients.
  • All patients reported high satisfaction with the aesthetic results at 6-month follow-up.
  • The technique demonstrated a short learning curve and excellent outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The presented surgical technique effectively addresses winged ribs during breast augmentation.
  • This approach improves chest wall contour and enhances aesthetic outcomes, leading to significant patient satisfaction.
  • The method offers a safe and efficient solution for patients with this specific chest wall deformity.
