Abstract:
This extended paper presents the development and implementation at a prototype level of a wireless, low-cost system for the measurement of the electrical bioimpedance of the chest with two channels using the AD5933 in a bipolar electrode configuration to measure impedance pneumography. The measurement device works for impedance measurements ranging from 1 Ω to 1800 Ω. Fifteen volunteers were measured with the prototype. We found that the left hemithorax has higher impedance compared to the right hemithorax, and the acquired signal presents the phases of the respiratory cycle with variations between 1 Ω, in normal breathing, to 6 Ω in maximum inhalation events. The system can measure the respiratory cycle variations simultaneously in both hemithorax with a mean error of −0.18 ± 1.42 BPM (breaths per minute) in the right hemithorax and −0.52 ± 1.31 BPM for the left hemithorax, constituting a useful device for the breathing rate calculation and possible screening applications.

Abstract:
Maximum nasal flow rate in the right and left nostrils was simultaneously determined during expiration with the help of two flowmeters in 10 healthy subjects in different postures and in two patients, one with Horner's syndrome and the other with facial palsy. It was found that pressure on the hemithorax from any surface (i.e., lateral, anterior, posterior, or superior) leads to reduced patency of the ipsilateral nostril but increased patency of the nostril on the opposite site. In the patient with Horner's syndrome, the nostril on the affected side remained blocked even on compression of the opposite hemithorax, and in the one with facial nerve palsy, the nostril on the affected side remained patent despite compression of the hemithorax on that side. The findings suggest that compression of hemithorax leads to changes in the congestion of the nasal mucosa that may be mediated through autonomic nerves.

Abstract:
A case of left sided lung hypoplasia is described in a seven year old female. She was admitted in our department with complaints of recurrent chest infections since infancy. Clinical examination revealed a febrile child with respiratory distress and with grossly diminished breath sound with patchy coarse crepitations on left hemithorax. X-ray chest revealed non homogenous opaque shadow on left hemithorax. Bronchscopy and CT thorax confirmed the diagnosis of left sided hypoplasia of lung. No other developmental anomaly was noted.

Abstract:
We report a case of functional mediastinal paraganglioma supplied by the left circumflex artery, associated with bilateral carotid body tumors. The surgical approach for a tumor in the posterior mediastinum behind the left atrium was a dilemma because the majority of the tumor was in the right hemithorax but its major blood supply was from the left circumflex artery in the left hemithorax. Management involved preoperative coil embolization of the feeding vessel followed by complete excision of the tumor through a right thoracotomy, without employing cardiopulmonary bypass, and excision of the carotid body tumors in a staged manner.

Abstract:
74 year-old-man, former smoker, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease GOLD grade 4, group D, with emphysema component, treated in a pulmonary rehabilitation program, on oxygen therapy and nocturnal bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation. During the night he had a traumatic rib fracture (5–11th right ribs) but still he used BiPAP ventilation during the sleep. In the morning after he presented with a diffuse and massive emphysema in the face, thorax and abdominal regions. On physical examination, the patient presented with massive swelling and crepitus on palpation. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed a diffuse subcutaneous emphysema and revealed a mediastinal emphysema and bilateral small pneumothorax. A fast resolution of the emphysema was of paramount importance as the patient was severely agitated due to his inability to open both eyes, and the need to reintroduce BiPAP ventilation as soon as possible. It was placed a fenestrated subcutaneous catheter on left hemithorax and a subcutaneous ostomy on right hemithorax for comparative purpose. It was also performed a confluent centripetal massage towards drainage orifices, with immediate and substantial improvement of emphysema, especially in left hemithorax, and progressive ocular opening. Further emphysema absorption occurred during hospitalization.

Abstract:
Dextrocardia is a rare anatomical anomaly in which the heart is located in the patient’s right hemithorax with its apex directed to the right. Although it usually does not pose any serious health risks, patients with undiagnosed dextrocardia present a diagnostic challenge especially in those presenting with chest pain. Traditional left-sided electrocardiograms (ECG) inadequately capture the electrical activity of a heart positioned in the right hemithorax, which if unnoticed could delay or even miss an acute coronary syndrome diagnosis. Here, we present a case of a patient with dextrocardia presenting with chest pain and diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction using a right-sided ECG.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to compare the auscultatory findings using traditional and electronic sensor-based stethoscopes. Thirty-three adult healthy Beagles (20 females, 13 males, mean age: 4.8 years, range 1.4–8 years) were auscultated by four investigators with different experiences (INVEST-1, -2, -3 and -4) independently with both stethoscopes. Final cardiological diagnoses were established by echocardiography. Mitral murmurs were heard with both stethoscopes by all investigators and echocardiography revealed mild mitral valve insufficiency in 7 dogs (21%, 4 females, 3 males). The statistical sensitivity (Se) in recognising cardiac murmurs proved to be 82% using the traditional stethoscope and 75% using the electronic one in the mean of the four examiners, whilst statistical specificity (Sp) was 99% by the traditional and 100% by the electronic stethoscope. The means of the auscultatory sensitivity differences between the two stethoscopes were 0.36 on the left and 0.59 on the right hemithorax, demonstrating an advantage for the electronic stethoscope being more obvious above the right hemithorax (P = 0.0340). The electronic stethoscope proved to be superior to the traditional one in excluding cardiac murmurs and especially in auscultation over the right hemithorax. Mitral valve disease was relatively common in this clinically healthy research Beagle population.

AbstractBackground:Use of molecular information to guide clinical management of thoracic liposarcoma following resection.Case presentation:We present a case of a large liposarcoma of the left hemithorax. Initial biopsy consistent with lipoma however following resection pathology showed well-differentiated liposarcoma. Clinical data and molecular information including MDM2 from the tumour were employed in decision making regarding subsequent adjuvant radiation therapy versus close observation.Conclusion:Improved molecular characterisation has increased the precision of histological diagnoses and prediction of outcomes for many cancers. These may continue to help guide and strengthen clinical decision making and recommendations as they pertain to adjuvant therapy versus observation in the case of this patient.

Abstract:
Congenital bronchopulmonary foregut anomalies are uncommon group of disorders that reflect upon the embryological development of the foregut. These conditions represent the intimate embryological proximity of the foregut and tracheobronchial tree. The radiological findings are typically of segmental or lobar consolidation with abnormal vascular supply or foregut communication. We report a case of a breathless neonate with oesophageal origin of the right main bronchus. This communication was well demonstrated with the help of an oesophagogram. The radiologist plays an important role by identifying this communication on a CT done for non-resolving lung collapse. Contrast-enhanced CT of the chest is also useful in evaluating the vascular supply of the lung that helps in diagnosis and also directs treatment.

Abstract:
Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) can occur as a complication of several underlying diseases such as pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) or, rarely, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). As diabetes mellitus (DM) is significantly prevalent in tuberculosis patients, it is possible to have both TB and DKA concurrently. However, there has not been any documentation of SSP as a complication in concomitant DKA and pulmonary TB. In this report, we described a 30-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of shortness of breath that had intensified since a day before. She was diagnosed with pulmonary TB 1 week before and had started on her anti-tuberculosis drugs regimen. Prior history of DM was not known. Physical examination showed a slight decrease in consciousness, tachycardia, tachypnea, Kussmaul breathing, decreased lung sounds in the right hemithorax and hyperresonant on percussion. Laboratory results showed leukocytosis and hyperglycemia, ketones were positive on urinalysis and arterial blood gas analysis indicated metabolic acidosis. Chest X-ray revealed pneumothorax in the right hemithorax. She was diagnosed with pneumothorax of the right hemithorax, DKA, sepsis and pulmonary TB. Treatment involved prompt placement of chest tube drainage, fluid rehydration, intravenous insulin, antibiotic, sodium bicarbonate and anti-tuberculosis drugs. Her condition improved after 9 days of uneventful hospitalization. We discussed how concomitant presence of both DKA and pulmonary TB can increase the likelihood of developing secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.

Abstract:
Pulmonary herniation can be defined as protrusion of pulmonary tissue and pleura from an abnormal opening at thoracic wall, diaphragm or mediastinum. Herniation is mainly localized at thoracic, cervical and diaphragmatic regions. Congenital herniation generally occurs as a result of costal agenesis/hypogenesis or absence of intercostal muscles. It is striking that up to 30% of acquired cases occur spontaneously. It is mostly seen in patients with weakness of thoracic wall or in case of acute increase in intrathoracic pressure such as severe coughs. Blunt or penetrating traumas resulting in rib fracture or separation of costal joint cause traumatic pulmonary herniation. In our case a 45-years old female presented to emergency department with height from fall and pain at right flank. On chest radiograph, there was rib fracture at higher level on right hemithorax. No marked pneumothorax was observed. On thorax CT scan, displaced rib fracture at right upper ribs, small amount of hemithorax and parenchymal contusion were observed but no pneumothorax was seen. In addition, right hemithorax, interruption at anterolateral thoracic wall at the level of lateral segment of middle lobe and pulmonary herniation (6x3 cm in size) at the same level were observed. Routine biochemical tests were normal in the patient. During 3-days follow-up, the pain at right flank relieved gradually. Such a large pulmonary hernia is usually treated surgically. However, as we have seen in our case, spontaneous regression can be seen unexpectedly.
