Abstract
We report preventive innominate artery division or ligation through a suprasternal approach for impending tracheo-innominate artery fistula (TIF) with recurrent airway oozing in patients with severe neuromuscular disease. Our approach is less invasive and a favorable procedure as preventive surgery...

Abstract
Toe walking is a frequent situation for a clinic in pediatric orthopedic. It is, in most cases, an idiopathic trouble. Neurologic examination is very important to recognize spastic diplegia or neuromuscular disease. A contracture of the triceps can occur and will require a specific treatment from ph...

Abstract
In patients with neuromuscular disease, supine IPPB treatments, with or without abdominal belt, increased ventilation to anterior lungs regions, compared to the left-lateral and right-lateral positions. Global ventilation 3 hours after IPPB treatments remained higher than at baseline and was best pr...
