Technical Execution
No full textOne of the advantages of Thoracic Ultrasound (TUS) is that it can be done with the same equipn1ent con1n1only used in abdon1inal or n1uscutoskeletal echography; however, a specifìc methodological approach that takes into consideration the pa1ticular methodical challenges and objectives is advantageous.
After having discussed some indispensable n1ethodological considerations, we will then consider the study of the chest wall and the structures contained in the thorax.
Finally, we will present a few aspects relative to conducting exams in criticai patients and newborns
Pleural Conditions
No full textThoracic Ultrasound (TUS) permits the identification, evaluation, and contro I of pleura! effusi on aud pneu1nothorax and can also provide useful infom1ation in infla1nn1atory and neoplastic pleural processes.
Using ultrasouud to investigate pleura! conditions requires a cJear understanding of ultrasound semeiotics and normal finds
Clinical Cases
No full textThis chapter presents clinical cases, some of which rare, others valuable for discussing ultrasound semeiotics and correlating them to clinical data and findings appreciable with other imaging methods.
In this way the role of thoracic ultrasound in different clinical situations can emerge, allowing the reader to grasp the potential of this method and its limitations from a practical point of view
Recent advances in respiratory muscle physiology and assessment
No full textRecent advances in respiratory muscle physiology and assessment have enhanced our understanding of breathing mechanics, muscle adaptation and disease-related changes. New imaging techniques, including MRI and ultrasound, provide real-time insight into muscle structure and function. Optoelectronic plethysmography and electromyography have improved the analysis of respiratory muscle activation and coordination. Research highlights the impact of inactivity, ageing and chronic diseases like COPD on muscle performance, emphasising the importance of mitochondrial function and fibre composition. Studies on respiratory muscle fatigue and the metaboreflex reveal how breathing effort influences exercise tolerance and circulation. Emerging technologies, such as electrical impedance tomography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound, offer promising diagnostic and monitoring capabilities. These advancements are shaping personalised treatment strategies, improving disease management and optimising mechanical ventilation and rehabilitation approaches for individuals with respiratory conditions
Artefacts in Thoracic Ultrasound
No full textToday, technological evolution increasingly in,proves the quality of ultrasound i1nages, 1naking artefacts less visible; the sonographer thus risks not paying enough attention to the1n.
ln generai te1ms, artefacts in n1edical imaging often hamper the diagnostic process since, by definiti on, they are altered representations of anatomical reality.
In ultrasound, however, this is not always true because by understanding artefacts we are provided with infor1nation on the type of interaction that ultrasounds have with anatomical structures and this can help us to interpret i1nages correctly [I].
In particular, in thoracic ultrasound (TUS) son1e artefacts are responsible for funda1nental sen1iological signs (e.g. B-lines)
Chest Wall Disorders
No full textThe use of thoracic ultrasound (TUS) is becon1-ing increasingly popular in the study of the chest wall and its alterations to both tbe soft tissue and skeletal co1nponents [l].
With an average thickness of 27 ( +5) u1m [2], the chest wall 1nust be studied sonograpbically with mediu1n-high (5-10 MHz) to high (>IO MHz) f.requency transducers [ l ].
However, to cope with the limited penetration capacity and the restricted field of view of lù1ear probes, it may be helpful to use convex t.ransducers with frequencies between 3.5 and 5 MHz [3], especially in the case of extensive lesions or when the fat layer is particularly represented. In certain cases, to ensure n1ore reliable results, con1parative evaluations of the san1e scans on both sides of the thorax can be useful
"Gli studi italiani sulla Commedia dell'Arte dal 1996 a oggi"
No full textTrattasi di una bibliografia ragionata e commentata di pp. 95, in appendice agli Atti del XXXII Convegno Internazionale del Centro Studi sul Teatro Medioevale e Rinascimentale (Roma, 2-5 ottobre 2008). Le schede bibliografiche commentate (pp. 316-397) sono precedute da una introduzione di Maria Ines Aliverti ("Gli studi italiani sulla Commedia dell'Arte dal 1996 a oggi", pp. 303-315). Le schede curate da Giulia Filacanapa sono specificate con sigla G.F. Una voce bibliografica (pp. 357-358) è a cura di Emanuele De Luca (sigla EDL). Tutte le altre schede (che rappresentano circa l'80% del lavoro) sono a cura di Maria Ines Aliverti. Il volume è edito con il contributo del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali. Non ha ISBN.
Il nome della curatrice CHIABO è da leggersi con la O accentata (carattere non registrato dal programma)
