“…On MR with SE sequences, the normal pericardium is seen as a structure with low signal intensity around the heart (7,10,14,16). The anatomy of the pericardial cavity in CT and MR imaging has been reported recently (9), and some authors have also corroborated their findings with cadaver studies (1,2,5,6,8). The transverse sinus may cause ambiguity in CT and MR imaging.…”

“…The transverse sinus may cause ambiguity in CT and MR imaging. On CT, a prominent transverse sinus may be mistaken for adenopathy (1,4,5) and on MR the transverse sinus can be interpreted as a vascular structure, a calcified atherosclerotic plaque, or the false lumen of an aortic dissection (6,9).…”

“…As Freeman, Bekoff, and Bexell comment, "we should expect those who write about animals to represent them accurately as the unique, sentient beings they are, not primarily as who we want them to be, background objects, or as means to our own ends." 222 The task of speaking for a nonhuman animal is challenging, to be sure, but not impossible. To incorporate a nonhuman animal voice as a legitimate source or per-spective on a particular issue, Freeman, Bekoff, and Bexell recommend that journalists attempt to (1) observe, listen to, and try to communicate with [nonhuman animals] in their own environments and allow the audience to share in this experience via detailed written descriptions or audiovisual means, (2) interpret [nonhuman animal] behavior and communication and/or consult an expert for interpretation, and (3) consider and incorporate the [nonhuman animals'] perspective and interests (sometimes by consulting human representatives).…”

Telling Tails: The Promises and Pitfalls of Language and Narratives in Animal Advocacy Efforts

<p>Using a feminist theoretical perspective and drawing on examples from Canada and the United States, this Article considers the promises and pitfalls of language and narrative in the context of animal advocacy efforts. Because the animal advocacy movement faces an uphill battle on a number of fronts, leveraging language and narrative more conscientiously can help enhance its success. Elucidating the equivocal nature of the premises on which our current social and legal conceptualization of nonhuman animals lies can prompt a shift in the dominant modes of thinking about nonhuman animals, thereby stimulating meaningful change in their treatment. However , it is not only the message that matters, but also how that message is conveyed. Narratives offer a potentially more compassionate, less antagonistic way of drawing attention to nonhuman animal suffering in order to trigger an interruption in established ways of thinking that posit that nonhuman animals are outside of the realm of moral considerability and, therefore, outside the bounds of legal protection.</p>

A new technique for bilateral apical bullectomy and pleurectomy via axillary minithoracotomy and transmediastinal access to the contralateral side, was used in 13 patients with bilateral apical blebs and/or pneumothorax. The contralateral space is reached at the posterior superior mediastinum, passing between the first thoracic vertebral bodies (T1-T4) and the oesophagus. The contralateral lung apex is then pulled into the thoracotomy side and apical bullectomy carried out by linear stapler. The obvious advantages of avoiding a second thoracotomy while providing complete solution to the clinical problem are particularly important in young patients with spontaneous pneumothorax caused by bilateral apical blebs.
