Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic finding of left atrial compression resulting from blunt trauma to the thoracic spine.

We present an adult female in whom two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated encroachment of the thoracic spine on the left atrium (LA) resulting in a very small, compressed LA cavity by a prominent thoracic spine shadow. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest showed compression of the LA produced by localized anterior deformation of the thoracic spine which had resulted from blunt injury to her spine following a fall from a swing several years previously.

Extraction of manganese(II) with dithizone and potassium thiocyanate on foam sorbents for spectrophotometric determination in silicates.

A method for selective extraction of Mn(II) with dithizone and potassium thiocyanate has been described. The method involves formation of a Mn(II)-thiocyanate-dithizone complex in a hexamine medium containing potassium thiocyanate (2.8M), dithizone (5.
