Anatomy of the Ribs, Sternum, and Costal Margin.
J Orthop Trauma

Department of Orthopaedics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
The ribs, sternum, and costal margin provide a rigid, but flexible chest wall that functions to provide protection to the vital cardiothoracic organs, while also allowing for varying levels of respiration based on physiologic need. The latter function is accomplished through various muscular attachments and rib articulations with both the axial spine posteriorly and the sternum anteriorly. The accessory muscles of inspiration rely on the downward slope and outward curve of each rib, which when contracted move the ribs upward and outward, in turn forcing the sternum anterior and increasing the thoracic volume.

The use of quantum mechanical potentials in protein-ligand affinity prediction is becoming increasingly feasible with growing computational power. To move forward, validation of such potentials on real-world challenges is necessary. To this end, we have collated an extensive set of over a thousand galectin inhibitors with known affinities and docked them into galectin-3.

Septic shock is a serious and life-threatening illness marked by potentially fatal and metabolic abnormalities, leading to high mortality rates in adult patients. Early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) was introduced as a systematic approach to manage septic shock through early, protocol-based hemodynamic optimization to improve outcomes. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of EGDT in managing adult patients with septic shock.
