Severe Dyspnoea

A 12 year old boy was admitted in the medical ward, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences hospital, Karimnagar, with severe dyspnoea of one week duration. During the clinical examination, besides the auscultatory findings, it was observed that the boy was a typical case of Poland's anomaly, characterized by deficiency of the sterno-costal part of Pectoralis major and entire pectoralis minor, minor associated with hypoplastic, thenar and hypothenar muscles. Considering the rarity involved in finding such a sporadic, congenital but non fatal medical condition, knowledge of musculoskeletal anomalies is important for clinicians, orthopedics and plastic surgeons.

Plectrophenax Nivalis

Although both the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor muscles of a number of species of passerine birds are red in color, the pectoralis majors are composed of only one type of fiber, a dark fiber, while the pectoralis minors are composed of dark and pale fibers. The two fibers differ in size and in fibrillar and non-fibrillar content. In the pectoralis minor muscles of the snow bunting, Plectrophenax nivalis, the ratio of dark to pale fibers is about two to one but this ratio differs in other species. It is suggested that the two types of fiber serve different functions in the pectoralis muscles and thus affect the mode of flight.
