Thoraco-abdominal duplication cyst of the jejunum presenting as respiratory distress in a young infant-a case report.

ABSTRACT: Thoraco-abdominal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that can accompany vertebral and spinal cord pathologies and occur most frequently in the small intestines. Symptoms such as respiratory distress, dyspnea, tachypnea, cough, hemoptysis, cyanosis, vomiting and dysphagia may develop depending on the location. The cyst has several clinical and radiological dilemmas. We present a rare case of thoraco-abdominal duplication cyst in a 3-month-old male patient presenting with respiratory distress in the neonatal period. Thoraco-abdominal duplications require a high index of suspicion and meticulous clinical management. Thus, patients can be successfully managed without any unnecessary interventions, complications and loss of time.

Project description:IntroductionRunning races on mountain trails at moderate-high altitude with large elevation changes throughout has become increasingly popular. During exercise at altitude, ventilatory demands increase due to the combined effects of exercise and hypoxia.AimTo investigate the relationships between thoraco-abdominal coordination, ventilatory pattern, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and endurance performance in runners during high-intensity uphill exercise.MethodsFifteen participants (13 males, mean age 42±9 yrs) ran a "Vertical Kilometer," i.e., an uphill run involving a climb of approximately 1000 m with a slope greater than 30%. The athletes were equipped with a portable respiratory inductive plethysmography system, a finger pulse oximeter and a global positioning unit (GPS). The ventilatory pattern (ventilation (VE), tidal volume (VT), respiratory rate (RR), and VE/VT ratio), thoraco-abdominal coordination, which is represented by the phase angle (PhA), and SpO2 were evaluated at rest and during the run. Before and after the run, we assessed respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and the occurrence of interstitial pulmonary edema by thoracic ultrasound.ResultsTwo subjects were excluded from the respiratory inductive plethysmography analysis due to motion artifacts. A quadratic relationship between the slope and the PhA was observed (r = 0.995, p = 0.036). When the slope increased above 30%, the PhA increased, indicating a reduction in thoraco-abdominal coordination. The reduced thoraco-abdominal coordination was significantly related to reduced breathing efficiency (i.e., an increased VE/VT ratio; r = 0.961, p = 0.038) and SpO2 (r = -0.697, p<0.001). Lower SpO2 values were associated with lower speeds at 20%≥slope≤40% (r = 0.335, p<0.001 for horizontal and r = 0.36, p<0.001 for vertical). The reduced thoraco-abdominal coordination and consequent reduction in SpO2 were associated with interstitial pulmonary edema.ConclusionReductions in thoraco-abdominal coordination are associated with a less efficient ventilatory pattern and lower SpO2 during uphill running. This fact could have a negative effect on performance.
