Lung Issues in Marfan Syndrome
15:15-16:25
On this slide, we see kind of how we actually measure the cobb angle and we also see an equation that suggests that we can predict the lung capacity based on the severity of the curvature.
このスライドでは、Cobb角の測り方、側湾の重症度をベースとして、肺機能の予測を可能とする数式を紹介します。
But it's not simply the severity of the curvature, it's where the curvature is.
Scoliosis that involves that the thoracic spine is much more likely to cause lung dysfunction and reduce lung capacity compared to scoliosis that only involves the lumbar spine.
側弯の重症度だけではなく、側湾が起きている場所も重要になります。腰椎部分のみで起きる側弯よりも、胸椎部分の側弯の方が肺機能不全を引き起こす可能性がずっと高くなります。
And on this table, we see how the progression in the curvature can actually cause lung problems. We see that when the curvature is greater than 40 and clearly when it's greater than 70 degrees, there's a high likelihood that there's associated significant lung dysfunction and as this curvature progresses, there's an even greater likelihood of symptoms as well as overt respiratory failure and the need for oxygen or even the need for ventilation support.
この表はCobb角と肺機能の関係を示したものです。肺機能不全はCobb角が40度を超えると出始め、70度を超えると明確になります。進行した場合には、症状が現れる可能性が高まり、顕著な呼吸不全を認め、酸素吸入や人工呼吸管理が必要となります。
