Thoracic wall is made up of bones bones, cavity, muscles and organs. Also, the presence of blood vessels and lymphatics.
Specifically, this presentation talks about the bony thoracic region such as ribs, sternum and vertebrae.
The thoracic cage is comprised of bones including the sternum, ribs, and thoracic vertebrae. The sternum consists of the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process. Ribs are divided into typical ribs 2-7 and atypical ribs 1, 8-10. Ribs articulate with the sternum anteriorly and thoracic vertebrae posteriorly. Joints of the thoracic cage include costovertebral, costotransverse, costochondral, and interchondral joints. During respiration, the ribs elevate and rotate which increases the anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the thoracic cavity.
The thoracic cage is formed by the sternum, ribs, and vertebrae. It encloses the lungs and heart. The sternum consists of the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process. There are typically 7 true ribs that attach to the sternum via costal cartilages and 5 false ribs that attach to each other or the rib above. The ribs protect the thorax organs and provide attachment points for muscles. Joints between ribs and sternum include synovial sternocostal joints and cartilaginous costochondral joints. Slight rotation of the ribs aids respiration. Accessory/cervical ribs can compress nerves/vessels.

The ribs protect the thorax organs and provide attachment points for muscles. Joints between ribs and sternum include synovial sternocostal joints and cartilaginous costochondral joints. Slight rotation of the ribs occurs during respiration. Accessory/cervical ribs can compress nearby nerves and vessels.
Flail chest is a serious chest wall injury defined by fractures in at least 3 ribs in two locations, creating a detached rib segment that moves in paradoxically during breathing. This disrupts respiration and causes pain. Diagnosis is by clinical exam and chest x-ray showing fractures. Management focuses on pain control, splinting the chest, treating associated injuries like pneumothorax, and mechanical ventilation if needed. Physiotherapy during recovery aims to rebuild strength. Mortality rates are 10-25% depending on severity of injuries. Surgical fixation can be considered but is usually not necessary.
The document summarizes the anatomy of the thoracic cage and its components. It describes the 12 pairs of ribs, their connections to the thoracic vertebrae posteriorly and sternum anteriorly. It details the structures of the thoracic vertebrae and identifies the 7 true ribs that connect directly to the sternum, the 5 false ribs that connect to the rib above, and the 2 floating ribs without anterior attachment. The costal cartilages are described as connecting the ribs to the sternum. Key joints of the thoracic cage are also summarized.
- The muscles of the pectoral region connect the upper limb to the anterior and lateral thoracic wall, including the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, subclavius, and serratus anterior.
- The axilla is a pyramidal space between the upper arm and chest wall, bounded by anterior, posterior, medial and lateral walls, with a base and apex. It transmits neurovascular structures from the neck and thorax to the upper limb, containing the axillary vessels, brachial plexus cords and branches, lymph nodes, and fat.
- The brachial plexus forms in the posterior neck triangle from spinal nerve roots, divides into trunks, cords and
The document discusses the anatomy and functions of costal cartilage and ribs. It describes the structure of costal cartilage, including its surfaces, borders and extremities. It also discusses the structure of ribs, including the head, neck, body, angle and tubercle. The document outlines the types of ribs and their attachments. It explains that costal cartilage and ribs help protect organs and allow for expansion of the thoracic cavity during breathing. Common injuries to costal cartilage and ribs like fractures and cartilage separation are also summarized.
The thoracic wall is formed by the vertebral column behind, ribs and intercostal spaces on the sides, and sternum and costal cartilages in front. It protects the lungs and heart and provides attachment points for muscles. The main bones that make up the thoracic wall are 12 pairs of ribs, 12 thoracic vertebrae, the sternum, and costal cartilages. Each bone has specific structures and articulations that allow for movement during respiration. Openings in the thoracic wall include the superior thoracic aperture above and inferior thoracic aperture below.

Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh. The content of the text was presented in sanskrit and telugu language (Bilingual). One of the most famous book in ayurvedic pharmaceutics and therapeutics. This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

• Includes thoracic vertebrae, shoulder girdle, sternum, clavicle
,scapula and ribs with their cartilage
6/12/2018 7
8. Sternum
• Flat, broad bone forms the anterior midline portion of the
thoracic cage
Consists of:
• Manubrium(T3/4) – triangular shape, has notch, provides
articulation for clavicles, 1st and upper part of 2nd ribs
• Body – consists of four parts(sternebrae), which fuse by the
age of 25 and articulate with 2nd–7th costal cartilages;
• The junction of the body with the manubrium (angle of
Louis) is at T4/5
• Xiphoid process(T10) – often remains cartilaginous
The xiphisternal joint can be confused with a fracture.
Fusion to the sternal body occurs at age 40 years.
6/12/2018 8
10. • The sternum is difficult to assess on a frontal view and best seen on lateral/oblique views, CT is best
6/12/2018 10
Lateral sternal view: the sternum (3) is shown articulating with the
manubrium (4) and the retrosternal fat space (5). Manubriosternal joint (6)
11. Anatomy-related imaging abnormalities of the sternum
1.On a PA CXR ;manubrial borders may simulate mediastinal widening
2. Pectus excavatum or funnel chest
• Is a depression of the lower sternum
• The most common congenital abnormality
• Mimics right middle lobe disease
• Asymptomatic but is associated with a greater prevalence of CHD
• When marked, it results in a reduction in the prevertebral space,
thereby causing leftward displacement and axial rotation of the heart,
and a reduction in the space occupied by the left lung
6/12/2018 11
12. Fig PA CXR: indistinct right heart border plus displacement of the heart to the left, exaggerated
vertical course of the anterior rib
Lateral CXR; same patient posterior displacement of the sternum with narrowing of APD
6/12/2018 12
13. 3. pectus carinatum or pigeon breast ;is abnormal protrusion of
the mid portion of sternum.
• A less common congenital abnormality
• Although it can occur in isolation, is seen with increased
frequency in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease.
6/12/2018 13
14. PA CXR; Normal (pectus carinatum)
Lateral CXR; outward bowing of the sternum with Incresead APD
6/12/2018 14
15. Ribs
• 12 pairs, with the 1st thoracic vertebra
associated with the 1st rib
• 1-7 form direct articulations with the
sternum via costal cartilage (true)
• Ribs 8-10 reach costal cartilage above,
forming indirect articulations (false)
• 11 and 12 lack anterior attachment (floating)
, short costal cartilages terminate in
abdominal wall muscle
6/12/2018 15
16. Each rib consists of:
• Head; 2 faces for articulation with vertebral bodies; e.g the 6th rib
articulate with the bodies of 5th and 6th vertebrae(synovial)
• Neck located between head and tubercle of each rib ; for attachment of
the costo-transverse ligament
• Tubercle (1-10) with articular and non articular process
• Body/shaft: Longest part of each rib
divided into two parts by the angle, which is the lateral limit of the
attachment of the erector spinae muscle
• Angle: Most posterior part
• Costal groove on inner surface of inferior border; for IC NVB
6/12/2018 16
18. • The first rib is the shortest,
with a prominent tubercle for
the attachment of the
scalenus anterior.
• The subclavian vein runs
anterior to the tubercle and
the subclavian artery and
lowest trunk of the brachial
plexus run in a groove
posteriorly
6/12/2018 18
19. Anatomy-related imaging abnormalities of rib
• Prominent 1st and 2nd ribs and cervical ribs in the
supraclavicular fossa can mimic a clinical mass.
• Congenital abnormalities of modelling may be
confined to 1or 2 ribs or be generalised.
• One or a few upper ribs are commonly bifid,
splayed, fused or hypoplastic.
• Usually occurring in isolation, occasionally part
of a syndrome (e.g. basal cell naevus syndrome)
or other anomalies (e.g. Sprengel’s deformity).
6/12/2018 19
20. • Cervical rib occurs in 1-2 % of people and is
bilateral in 50%. These are bony or fibrous
bands
• It arise from C7 transverse process and
articulates with the first rib
• Sharp lines along the lower costal margin. PA
CXR shows sharp, thin lines along the lower
margin of the ribs (arrows)
• This is a normal finding which can be mistaken
for rib erosion or malignancy
6/12/2018 20
Fig. (a) Radiograph of thoracic inlet. Cervical ribs arise from down
pointing cervical transverse processes
a thin, sharp hairline caused by the cortex of the costal groove
21. • A prominent first costochondral junction
can be mistaken for a mass on a CXR or CT
due to partial volume averaging
6/12/2018 21
(a) Axial CT: lung windows and (b) soft tissue mediastinal windows; the first rib (1) on CT due to partial
volume averaging can give the impression of a mass on the lung windows.
22. • The rhomboid fossa is a variable, frequently
irregular concavity in the undersurface of the
medial clavicle above the costal cartilage of
the first rib, more common in males.
• This normal variant should not be mistaken
for a lytic or erosive process.
• May simulate an apical cavity on a CXR

Each anterior ICS contains two anterior
intercostal arteries (except in the lower
two inter-costal spaces).
a. The upper 6 pairs arise from the
internal thoracic artery.
b. The 7th, 8th, and 9th pairs arise from the
musculo-phrenic artery.
29. Posterior Intercostal Arteries
- Each posterior ICS contains one posterior intercostal
artery which runs in the costal groove .

outlined by the adjacent subdiaphragmatic fat
50. chest X-ray for diaphragmatic imaging
The aims
(1) Looking for diaphragmatic pathology
(2) Deciding whether the abnormality is indeed located in the
diaphragm or whether what is seen is secondary to other disease
(3) Identify variable presentation of the diaphragm, many
changes seen on a chest X-ray are not always related to
pathology
51. The right hemidiaphragm is usually 1–1.5 cm
higher than the left , but may be at the same
level.
On a lateral film the gastric air bubble is below
the left hemidiaphragm and the anterior
portion is not seen as it is silhouetted by the
heart
6/12/2018 51
52. • On CXR, the diaphragmatic
muscle is only visible
when air is present above
and below it.
• presents as a 2- to 3-mm-
thick line between the air-
containing lung and the
abdominal air
53. Ultrasound
• Using the liver or spleen as an
acoustic window, shows diaphragm as
thin echogenic line
• Diaphragmatic motion is ideally
assessed sonographically
• Eventration of the diaphragm can
mimic paralysis on Us
• Diaphragmatic masses
• Assess the integrity of the diaphragm
54. CT scan
• The diaphragm is not usually visible as a
structure discrete from the liver or other
abdominal organs, unless there is a lot off at
on its abdominal aspect.
• The costal origins may be prominent with
deep inspirations.
• The crura are usually visible on the anterior
surface of the upper lumbar vertebrae
6/12/2018 54
56. Diaphragm is not impermeable
○ Ascites, pleural effusion, tumor, infection, or extraluminal air may pass
from abdomen into thorax (and vice versa)
6/12/2018 56
57. MRI
• The primary modality for the imaging of most congenital and
acquired thoracic vascular disorders
• superior contrast resolution between tumor and fat
• Superior to CT in the diagnosis of chest wall or mediastinal
invasion
• The ability to scan in direct sagittal and coronal planes, and the
lack of need for intravenous iodinated contrast
58. MRI cont….
The major disadvantages of thoracic MR scanning
the limited spatial resolution
the inability to detect calcium, and the difficulties in imaging
