The respiratory rate.
"... The recording of a patients respiratory rate is an integral part of trauma scoring. Yet 10 % of MTOS patients are excluded from TRISS analysis, most because one or more of the revized trauma score variables has not been assessed or recorded (Cope et al., 1989). We should like to draw attention to a ..."

respiratory rate monitor (available from Simonsen and Weel Ltd). The unit detects respiration by measuring changes in thoracic compedents via the same set of electrodes that are used for ECG measurement. By providing a display of the respiratory rate and respiration wave amplitude this may act as a potent
Measurement of ECG, Respiratory Rate, Tilt and Temperature of a Patient and
- Wireless ZigBee Data Transmission,” the Second International Symposium on Medical Information and Communication Technology
"... A wireless sensor belt, designed as a mobile monitoring device for hospital use, was built during the work reported here. This sensor belt is capable of measuring electrocardiogram (ECG), respiratory rate, tilt and skin temperature. Its analogue electronics were designed to be effective, have a low ..."

Breathing Movements of the Chest and Abdominal Wall in Healthy Subjects
"... BACKGROUND: Physical assessment of breathing is an important component of physical therapy evaluations. However, there are no standardized reference values of breathing movements available for use in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to determine the 3-dimensional distances of observa ..."

movement using three different devices in 12 children recovering from intensive care. The devices used were inductance plethysmography (assessing thoracic cross-sectional area), magnetometers (assessing thoracic diameter), and a Hall device strain gauge (assessing thoracic circumference).

Transesophageal Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Aortic Arch and Descending Thoracic Aorta in Patients With Aortic Atherosclerosis
"... OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the feasibility and potential of transesophageal magnetic resonance imaging (TEMRI) for quantifying atherosclerotic plaque burden in the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta in comparison with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). BACKGROUND Improved morpholo ..."

aortic wall thickness and circumferential extent of atherosclerotic plaque measured by TEMRI versus TEE using a Bland-Altman analysis. Additional studies were performed in a human cadaver with pathology as an independent gold standard for assessment of atherosclerosis. RESULTS In clinical
Case Report A novel approach: chest wall cyst excised by MIS
, 2013
"... We present a 62-year-old male with a recurrent cyst in the left posterior chest. MRI demonstrated a fluid-filled cavity measuring 23 cm in length and 11 cm in width. The cyst was aspirated demonstrating clear serous fluid. However, the cyst returned and he was referred to us for further treatment. T ..."

. The cyst was excised through a minimally invasive approach using a combination of blunt and electrocautery dissection. The cystic lesion was circumferentially freed from the trapezius muscle and cervical structures. Pathologic examination revealed a benign, fibrous-walled cyst without a true epithelial
Quantification of vessel wall motion and cyclic strain using cine phase contrast MRI: in vivo validation in the porcine aorta. Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 52
, 2004
"... Artery wall motion and strain play important roles in vascular remodeling and may be important in the pathogenesis of vascular disease. In vivo observations of circumferentially nonuniform wall motion in the human aorta suggest that nonuniform strain may contribute to the localization of vascular p ..."

pathology. A velocity-based method to investigate circumferential strain variations was previously developed and validated in vitro; the current study was undertaken to determine whether accurate displacement and strain fields can be calculated from velocity data acquired in vivo. Wall velocities
Viscoelastic Models for Passive Arterial Wall Dynamics
"... This paper compares two models predicting elastic and viscoelastic properties of large arteries. Models compared include a Kelvin (standard linear) model and an extended 2-term exponential linear viscoelastic model. Models were validated against in-vitro data from the ovine thoracic descending aorta ..."

A ROENTGENOGRAPHIC STUDY OF THE THORACES OF NEW-BORN INFANTS*
"... A series of roentgenograms of the thoraces of new-born infants has been made in order to study the films objectively from the point of view of the anatomy and physiology of the thorax and its contents. In spite of the fact that a number of roentgenographic studies of the thorax of the new-born infan ..."

-born infant have been made by other observers, definite standards for normal have not been established, because neither a uniform technic nor the same method of interpretation has been used. The importance of making the exposures as soon after birth as possible and the necessity of repeated examinations have
Automated Measurement and Statistical Modeling of Elastic Laminae in Arteries
"... Structural features of elastic laminae within arteries can provide vital information for both the mechanobiology and the biomechanics of the wall. In this paper, we propose, test, and illustrate a new computer-based scheme for automated analysis of regional distributions of elastic laminae thickness ..."

A statistical randomized complete block design (RCBD) and F-test were used to assess potential (non)-uniformity of lamellar thicknesses and separations along both radial and circumferential directions. Illustrative results for both normotensive and hypertensive thoracic porcine aorta revealed
