肩甲骨間の距離 Explanation: shoulder dystocia 肩甲難産（児頭娩出後恥骨結合への前左肩甲の嵌入により正常分娩が停止した状態） ステッドマン ４ 肩甲難産 肩甲難産とは「児頭娩出後に前在肩甲が恥骨結合につかえ、肩甲娩出の困難な状況のために、児の娩出が不可能な状態」と定義されている。すなわち、赤ちゃんの頭部のみ膣外に娩出されているが、後続の肩がつかえて児が娩出できない状態である。 http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~hhhp/dystocia/giant-baby.htm humeroscapular(a) 上腕肩甲の【解剖】 英和医学用語大辞典 肩甲難産の文脈だと思いますので「肩甲骨」という言葉が入るのではないでしょうか？ |

FYI Explanation: ヒューマロ・スパイナス距離 No Japanese sources are available for this one. (In fact, only 13 Google hits in English) According to the PubMed article below, humerospinous distance can be defined as the distance “measured from the convergence of the cervical spinous processes at the approximate cervicothoracic vertebral junction to the medial border of the humeral head” From Glova: humeral head 上腕骨骨頭 | 上腕骨頭 | 上腕頭 spinous process 棘状突起 | 棘突起 spinous process of fifth cervical vertebra 第5頚椎部棘突起 spinous process of sixth cervical vertebra 第6頚椎部棘突起 Source on the definition of HS distance: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&d... Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol. 1998 Aug;12(2):115-9. Humerospinous distance measurements: accuracy and usefulness for predicting shoulder dystocia in delivery at term. Klaij FA, Geirsson RT, Nielsen H, Hreinsdottir M, Haraldsdottir KR. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, National University Hospital, Reykjavik, Iceland. OBJECTIVE: To investigate if the humerospinous distance, as an indicator of shoulder width, could predict shoulder dystocia at term. DESIGN: Prospective cross-sectional study of a stratified reference group of healthy women and a test group of women with risk factors for shoulder dystocia. Measurements were not revealed. Outcome measures were difficulties with delivery of the shoulders and correlation with maternal body mass and birth weight. SUBJECTS: Seventy-two women with singleton pregnancies at a University Clinic: 32 women at 39-42 weeks for reference and 40 women in an at-risk test group (weight > 90 kg, weight gain > 20 kg, previous macrosomic baby, history of shoulder dystocia/difficult delivery, clinical suspicion of a large baby). Women with a breech fetus, twins and those not able to deliver vaginally were excluded. METHODS: Fetal shoulders were measured from the convergence of the cervical spinous processes at the approximate cervicothoracic vertebral junction to the medial border of the humeral head. Correlations were made with maternal body mass, birth weight, birth weight estimation, ultrasound and postnatal humerospinous measurements. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-03-11 14:15:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To be precise and safe, it is better to leave this in Katakana (and give a brief explanation). Note that the definition says the distance is just one-sided with respect to the body: measured from the spine (cervicothoracic junction) to the humerus. So, this cannot be "interscapular distance". See illustrations from Gray's Anatomy for location of the junction: http://education.yahoo.com/reference/gray/illustrations/figu... http://education.yahoo.com/reference/gray/subjects/subject?i... And live images: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&q="cervicothoracic... The junction is actually somewhere in the neck, then! Cheers |
