voice, singers learn how to support and manage their breath by adjusting the sternum and rib cage. Miller explains that the support of breath begins by breathing deeply to raise the sternum and rib cage to its fullest and highest position. Then, holding the posture for the duration of a song while inhaling air and exhaling a melody and lyrics, the vocalist creates accurate sounds. The purpose of raising the rib cage is to manage the inhalation and exhalation of breath from the abdomen and…

diagnosis of disease related to lungs. The chest radiograph specifies the thoracic anatomy and provides high yield, at the low cost [1]. There are some challenges in processing Chest X-ray images. For example, in lung segmentation, the strong edges at the rib cage and clavicle region cause local minima for most minimization approaches. Segmenting the lung apex is also a nontrivial problem because of the changing intensity at the clavicle bone [11]. Examples of normal Chest X-ray and abnormal…

wearing baggy jeans and a black t-shirt running up the stairs behind us. My dad was already chasing after him. I was still clueless as to what he took. At the stairs, I saw my brother crouched down on the third step. His hands were placed around his ribs and he looked like he was in pain, as if he had been pushed down or something. Everything was happening too fast. A gallon of…

combined load-bearing stonework elements that already existed in Romanesque architecture in innovative ways to make this possible. The apse and ambulatory feature skeletal rib vaulting, resting on pointed arches, which are on thin columns. The rib vaulting is lighter than a typical ceiling, so that less is required to support it, and its ribs act as a skeleton, distributing the weight onto the columns. The pointed arch directs force downward with less thrust outward, so that it may be built to…

I cared for the patient who suffered blunt chest trauma and who was in respiratory distress. My patient was middle aged male who fell off his motorcycle and, as a result of the fall, obtained multiple rib fractures and pneumothorax. CT scan and chest X-ray indicated that he also had bilateral lung atelectasis at the bases. The breathing pattern was irregular, characterized by shallow, rapid respirations at the rate of 30-40 breaths/minute. His oxygen saturation fluctuated between 78-83% on room…

insertion is at the cartilage of the fifth, sixth and seventh ribs and xiphoid process. External oblique’s origin is the external surfaces of the fifth and twelfth ribs. Its insertion is at the anterior part of the iliac crest and the abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba. The internal oblique’s origin is the lateral inguinal ligament, the iliac crest and the thoracolumbar fascia. Its insertion is on the internal surface of the lower three ribs and the abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba. These…

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine the rate, function, and integrity of the heart during an exercise EKG. An electrocardiogram measures the electrical activity of the heart over time. In this lab a subject will exercise for about 15 minutes, not including rest times and the EKG will measure the heart’s activity. Methods Collect the following demographics for the subject: age, gender, height, MI, skinfold measurements, and weight. Locate the 10 electrode sites and shave the…

get the feeling of having broken ribs down. But as I worked in and out of rehearsal I got the hang of everything. We didn't have many rehearsals, so that meant I had plenty of work to do own my own which was hard to accomplish without feedback. I got some criticism from my friends, their advice was really helpful. They told me to spend time in a dark room with scary prison noises before rehearsal to get in the mood. Also that I was talking way too fast to have my ribs broken and that I should…
