	Part II
		Tension pneumothorax resulting from laceration of cervical trachea and mediastinal pleura, showing: Laceration of cervical trachea (a), laceration of mediastinal pleura (b), tension pneumothrax (c), collapsed lung (d), shift of heart (e), subcutaneous emphysema (f), and partial collapse of contralateral lung (g).
		This type of tension pneumothorax was also uncommon, possibly because bleeding from the pulmonary laceration usually stopped promptly and the hematoma that surrounded the torn parenchyma produced a sufficient area of nonaeration to limit the amount of air that reached the pleural cavity until the laceration was sealed over by natural processes.
		Diagnosis was made by the discovery of a pneumothorax, either by physical examination or roentgenologic examination, or by both, in a patient whose chest was previously free of pleural air and who had had no breakdown of a chest wall wound to cause an open pneumothorax.

	eMedicine - Lymphomas, Endocrine, Mesenchymal, and Other Rare Tumors of the Mediastinum : Article by Jane M Eggerstedt, MD
		The mediastinum is limited bilaterally by the mediastinal parietal pleura and extends from the diaphragm inferiorly to the level of the thoracic inlet superiorly.
		Even though not a primary tumor of the mediastinum, substernal extension of the cervical thyroid gland is discussed in this article because it is a relatively common problem and is traditionally considered one of the differential diagnoses of an anterior mediastinal mass.
		This parasternal approach to the mediastinum is used most commonly in situations in which standard cervical mediastinoscopy is considered, or has been found to be, inadequate.

	Pain-relieving posterior rod fixation with segmental sublaminar wiring for Pancoast tumor invading the vertebrae -- Nomori et al. 29 (12): 633 -- Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology
		Pancoast lung cancer invades surrounding structures, including the pleura, chest wall, adjacent vertebrae, brachial plexus, major vessels and cervical sympathetic plexus, causing agonizing pain in most patients (1,2).
		Despite local postoperative recurrence in the cervical and thoracic vertebrae within the region of the rod fixation, the patient complained of no pain at these sites until his death.
		The metastatic lesion in the fourth thoracic vertebra was resected by laminectomy.

	Diaphragm
		Because the diaphragm is covered by the inferior surface of the parietal pleura, when itcontracts it pulls the pleura with it.
		The diaphragm is supplied by the phrenic nerve from cervical segments 3,4, and 5.
		This lowers thepleural pressure, which causes thealveolar pressure to drop, which, in turn, causes air to flow into the lungs.

	Traumatic Thoracic Aortic Rupture in the Pediatric Patient
		Aortic ruptures were complete transections at the ligamentum arteriosum in 5 of 6 (83%) ; the other case was a cervical arch pseudoaneurysm.
		When exposed to a sudden horizontal deceleration, the relatively immobile descending aorta, held in the vertebral sulcus by intercostal vessels, ligamentum arteriosum, and overlying mediastinal pleura, decelerates at a different rate compared with the fairly mobile heart and aortic arch.
		The patient with the cervical arch pseudoaneurysm had a partial tear in the abnormal arch, whereas all other tears (5 of 6) were complete transections separated by 1 to 5 cm from the ligamentum arteriosum (aortic isthmus).

		Although the ganglion lies at the level of the C7 vertebral body, the needle is inserted at the level of C6 to avoid the piercing the pleura.
		The stellate ganglion refers to the ganglion formed by the fusion of the inferior cervical and the first thoracic ganglion as they meet anterior to the vertebral body of C7.
		The dome of the lung lies anterior and inferior to the ganglion.

	UH head and neck
		Note that the subclavian vein passes anterior to the anterior scalene muscle, and that the apex of the parietal pleura is close to the vein.
		The boundaries of the posterior cervical triangle are the clavicle below, the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle anteriorly and the anterior border of the trapezius muscle posteriorly.
		Identify the lingual artery at the anterior and posterior edges of this muscle and note that the rest of the artery is hidden from view because it passes medial to the hyoglossus muscle.

	Amazon.ca: Books: The Thorax
		Among the special topics contained in this volume are global and local listening of the thorax; utilization of the completed Adson-Wright test; cervical attachments of the pleura; intrasternal tests and treatment; utilization of various access points to the phrenic nerve; and stretching along the orientation of the coronary arteries.
		The Thorax is an important book for all practitioners who wish to broaden their skills in visceral manipulation.
		Barrral begins by describing the thorax as an area of conflict and contrast: it must protect the organs enclosed within, yet must also allow exchanges with the neck and abdomen.

	The Cervical Plexus
		The lesser occipital, greater auricular, transverse cervical and supraclavicular are cutaneous nerves formed by the cervical plexus.
		It lies anterior to the hilum of the lung, lying between the pleura and the pericardium.
		The nerves formed by the cervical plexus supply the back of the head, the neck and the shoulders.

	Journal of Paleontology: A NEW FAMILY OF TRIASSIC LOBSTERS (DECAPODA: ASTACIDEA) FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ITS PHYLOGENETIC CONTEXT
		Diagnosis.-Carapace subcylindrical, with distinct longitudinal ridges on anterior part; cervical, postcervical, and branchiocardiac grooves well defined and steeply inclined; branchiocardiac groove well developed; attachment site of adductor testis muscle well defined; median suture present; first through third pereiopods chelate.
		Emended diagnosis.-Cephalothorax subcylindrical; rostrum and abdomen well developed; frontal portion of carapace not fused with epistome; antennae with five-segmented stalk and scale; third maxilliped pediform; pereiopods chelate, subchelate, or pseudochelate; first pereiopod longest; abdominal pleura well developed; exopods of uropods with diaresis; genital openings coxal.
		The universal presence of this character in every taxon within the Astacidea and complete absence of a diaresis in all other taxa except for two highly derived families leads us to believe that it was derived independently in these groups and is a synapomorphy of the Astacidea.

		On its left side, in the superior mediastinum, are the terminal part of the aortic arch, the left subclavian artery, the thoracic duct, and left pleura, while running upward in the angle between it and the trachea is the left recurrent nerve; below, it is in relation with the descending thoracic aorta.
		The esophagus also presents antero-posterior flexures corresponding to the curvatures of the cervical and thoracic portions of the vertebral column.
		The thoracic portion of the esophagus is at first situated in the superior mediastinum between the trachea and the vertebral column, a little to the left of the median line.
