characterized by elevation of the scapula and a corresponding S-shaped spine. This deformity limits lung expansion within the thorax. It may occur with osteoporosis and other skeletal disorders that affect the thorax.

Study Notes
Respiratory System
- Difficulty swallowing is a symptom related to respiratory issues
- Free discharge of thin nasal mucus may indicate respiratory problems
- Coughing out or expectoration of blood or bloody sputum from the lungs is a severe symptom
- Vomiting of blood is a critical symptom related to respiratory issues
- Increased carbon dioxide level in the blood is a sign of respiratory distress
- Breathing exercises, such as breathing in slowly through the nose and out through the lips, can help with respiratory issues
Thoracic Cage Deformities
- Increased antero-posterior chest diameter, where ribs appear horizontal at an angle greater than 45 degrees with the spinal column, is a deformity
- Funnel-shaped chest and depressed lower sternum are types of thoracic cage deformities
- Pigeon chest, characterized by an anteriorly displaced sternum, is another type of deformity
- Abnormally increased inward curvature of the lower region of the spine is a type of deformity
- Excessive outward curvature of the thoracic region of the spine is another type of deformity
- Lateral deviation of the spine and elevation of the scapula with an S-shaped spine can limit lung expansion
Respiratory Disorders
- Accumulation of air in the lungs is a condition that can lead to respiratory distress
- Accumulation of fluids in the lungs is a life-threatening condition
- Consolidation of lung tissues, commonly caused by bacterial or viral infections, is a serious condition
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a progressive lung disease
Cardiovascular System
- A sound heard over an artery or vascular channel, reflecting turbulence of flow, is a sign of abnormal narrowing of an artery
- Accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity is a sign of cardiovascular distress
- Enlargement of the liver and spleen are signs of cardiovascular disease
- A rumbling sound made by the movement of gas in the intestine is a sign of gastrointestinal issues
- Absence of muscle tone is a sign of neurological disorders
Cardiac Conditions
- Strong outward thrust of the chest walls during systole along the left sternal border is a sign of RVH (Right Ventricular Hypertrophy)
- Openings are narrowed, increasing velocity of blood flow, which can cause audible vibrations
- Palpable vibration over the precordium is a sign of loud cardiac murmurs
- Visible vibration over the precordium is a sign of forceful cardiac contractions
- Enlargement of the heart is a sign of cardiovascular disease
- Abnormal dilation of the blood vessel is a sign of cardiovascular disease
- Narrowing or constriction of the diameter of an artery is a sign of cardiovascular disease
- Formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel is a life-threatening condition
- Hardening or thickening of the arterial walls causing insufficient blood flow is a sign of cardiovascular disease
- Excessive development of the breast in male is a sign of hormonal imbalance
