The following bony prominences can usually be palpated in the living subject (corresponding vertebral levels are given in brackets): •◊◊superior angle of the scapula (T2); •◊◊upper border of the manubrium sterni, the suprasternal notch (T2/3); •◊◊spine of the scapula (T3); •◊◊sternal angle (of Louis) — the transverse ridge at the manubrio-sternal junction (T4/5); •◊◊inferior angle of scapula (T8); •◊◊xiphisternal joint (T9); •◊◊lowest part of costal margin—10th rib (the subcostal line passes through L3). Note from Fig. 1 that the manubrium corresponds to the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae and overlies the aortic arch, and that the sternum corre- sponds to the 5th to 8th vertebrae and neatly overlies the heart. Since the 1st and 12th ribs are difficult to feel, the ribs should be enu- merated from the 2nd costal cartilage, which articulates with the sternum at the angle of Louis. The spinous processes of all the thoracic vertebrae can be palpated in the midline posteriorly, but it should be remembered that the first spinous process that can be felt is that of C7 (the vertebra prominens). The position of the nipple varies considerably in the female, but in the male it usually lies in the 4th intercostal space about 4in (10cm) from the midline.

  • Slipping Rib Syndrome
    Slipping Rib Syndrome Jackie Dozier, BS Edited by Lisa E McMahon, MD FACS FAAP David M Notrica, MD FACS FAAP Case Presentation AA is a 12 year old female who presented with a 7 month history of right-sided chest/rib pain. She states that the pain was not preceded by trauma and she had never experienced pain like this before. She has been seen in the past by her pediatrician, chiropractor, and sports medicine physician for her pain. In May 2012, she was seen in the ER after having manipulations done on her ribs by a sports medicine physician. Pain at that time was constant throughout the day and kept her from sleeping. However, it was relieved with hydrocodone/acetaminophen in the ER. Case Presentation Over the following months, the pain became progressively worse and then constant. She also developed shortness of breath. She is a swimmer and says she has had difficulty practicing due to the pain and SOB. AA was seen by a pediatric surgeon and scheduled for an interventional pain management service consult for a test injection. Following good temporary relief by local injection, she was scheduled costal cartilage removal to treat her pain. What is Slipping Rib Syndrome? •Slipping Rib Syndrome (SRS) is caused by hypermobility of the anterior ends of the false rib costal cartilages, which leads to slipping of the affected rib under the superior adjacent rib. •SRS an lead to irritation of the intercostal nerve or strain of the muscles surrounding the rib. •SRS is often misdiagnosed and can lead to months or years of unresolved abdominal and/or thoracic pain.

    Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article ORIGINAL RESEARCH Anatomic connections of the diaphragm: influence of respiration on the body system Bruno Bordoni1 Abstract: The article explains the scientific reasons for the diaphragm muscle being an important Emiliano Zanier2 crossroads for information involving the entire body. The diaphragm muscle extends from the trigeminal system to the pelvic floor, passing from the thoracic diaphragm to the floor of the 1Rehabilitation Cardiology Institute of Hospitalization and Care with mouth. Like many structures in the human body, the diaphragm muscle has more than one Scientific Address, S Maria Nascente function, and has links throughout the body, and provides the network necessary for breathing. Don Carlo Gnocchi Foundation, 2EdiAcademy, Milano, Italy To assess and treat this muscle effectively, it is necessary to be aware of its anatomic, fascial, and neurologic complexity in the control of breathing. The patient is never a symptom localized, but a system that adapts to a corporeal dysfunction. Keywords: diaphragm, fascia, phrenic nerve, vagus nerve, pelvis Anatomy and anatomic connections The diaphragm is a dome-shaped musculotendinous structure that is very thin (2–4 mm) and concave on its lower side and separates the chest from the abdomen.1 There is a central tendinous portion, ie, the phrenic center, and a peripheral muscular portion originating in the phrenic center itself.2 With regard to anatomic attachments,
