than 5 to 10 percent per week. This cannot apply in the initial stages of a training schedule, where less than 10 miles a week are run, but above these levels, this guide will help to prevent overuse injuries. Pain is probably the best warning sign of injury, but it may appear in a variety of forms. Although the suffering that occurs during a tough training session is probably ultimately beneficial in the improvement of performance, the experienced runner will soon learn to recognize pain in other parts of the anatomy that does not disappear when the exercise has ended. External factors that may induce injury include the surface run on and the clothing and shoes worn by the runner. The force of landing with something like three to four times your body weight onto concrete affects the joints much more than a more forgiving and softer surface like sand or even snow. Too many runners use only one side of a road and forget that the camber will pitch them toward the sidewalk and cause a tilt to the pelvis, which may translate into a twisted lower back or strain to the ligaments of the ankle joint. Running demands thought just as much as other sports that require different skills. It is too easy to be dazzled by a new pair of running shoes, which cause blistering on the first occasion on which they are used, simply because you forgot to break them in. All shoes and clothing should be worn in but not worn out! Because the diagnosis of injury is likely to be complex, any unexplained pain or symptom should be rapidly assessed by a professionally qualified doctor. However, a considerable number of commonsense first aid measures can and should be taken in the early stages of injury. It would seem sensible to follow the guidelines that any doctor would use. First, take a history. Ask yourself these questions: Was the injury sudden, or did it build up over a series of runs? Does it cover a small area, or is it more diffuse? Does it hurt to touch? Does it disappear with rest? There are countless more questions, but the object is to make you think about the injury. Next, a doctor will look at the injury. Observation can distinguish asymmetry, swelling, discoloration, and so on. You can do the same in a mirror. Only this stage of examination by gentle palpation, followed by active and passive movement, will elucidate the cause. By this stage there may be a differential diagnosis, a choice of likely and then less common causes. If the diagnosis is pretty much certain, first aid treatment can begin; if not, further tests can be arranged after a visit to the doctor. To a certain extent these can run concurrently, as treatment can be started while test results are awaited. If the results suggest a different diagnosis, then treatment can be amended. The diagnosis and treatment phases of an injury should be interrelated and reciprocal so that if the one is questionable or ineffective, then the other can be reviewed and reassessed. The areas of the body that are likely to suffer most from running are the lower back, the groin, the muscles of the leg, the knee and ankle areas, and the feet. The tissues that suffer most are joints, bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Some choice! A typical muscle tear is most likely to occur if the runner overstretches between two joints, especially if a halfhearted warm-up procedure has been used. The pathology behind this is that a blood vessel inside the muscle will be pulled beyond its limits, burst, relatively flood the area with blood, and stop bleeding only when the counterpressure exerted by the surrounding soft tissues or strapping is equal to that of the blood seeping out. The pressure of this bleeding causes pain in the soft tissues and is always a good indicator of injury. Cooling is another major factor that speeds up healing, so the rapid application of an ice pack to any acute injury, muscle or otherwise, is unlikely to do much harm; if it limits the swelling, it may well reduce the time spent in recovery. Statistically, the back and the knee are the most commonly injured sites for runners. A runner’s back pain will usually be localized to the lower lumbar and sacral areas (figure 10.1), and all too often it is a result of repetitive training with a lack or loss of low back flexibility, accompanied by attempts to run through the pain. It may be related to poor posture, a real or artificial difference in leg length (such as what occurs with the camber running referred to earlier), or a sudden move to hill work. If there is any suggestion that the pain is referred down either leg or is associated with numbness or weakness of the limb, then this could signify a more serious condition such as a prolapsed intervertebral disc, for which a more urgent medical opinion should be sought. Much the same is true of the knee (figure 10.2). An injury followed by swelling or locking within the joint, especially if this happens rapidly over a few hours, is not a simple runner’s knee and needs prompt diagnosis. Runners are more prone to patellofemoral pain as a result of the failure of the patella to glide through the center of the groove at the base of the femur rather than severe internal disruption as might occur with a skiing or football injury. When we stand, our knees and ankles are usually together, but the hip joints can be separated by 12 inches or more. The effect is that when the quadriceps muscles contract, the forces of nature pull the patella laterally and twist it within the femoral groove. The vastus medialis muscle counteracts the pull of the outer quads, but can do so only if it has been strengthened and developed suffi-ciently, which requires it to be exercised with the knee locked and extended. If pain can be localized, it is easier to diagnose the cause. Pain on the outside of the lower thigh is in all probability a result of iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome, in which this piece of generally inelastic connective tissue rubs against the lateral condyle of the femur. If appropriate exercises to stretch it fail, podiatric adjustment of shoes and insoles may bring about a cure. Figure 10.1 (a) Lumbar region of the back; (b) vertebrae. Figure 10.2 Knee. This treatment may also help with the foot pain of metatarsalgia. With a dropped longitudinal arch (known as pes planus, or flat feet), constant landing on a particular bone in the foot and a pull on the surrounding ligaments can be extremely painful, but proper support to the arch with exercises for the intrinsic muscles of the feet may dissipate the pain rapidly. Pain associated with bones is deeper and more resistant to analgesia than that from the soft tissues. One particularly important cause of bone pain is the so-called stress fracture, which can be equated with metal fatigue or the crack that can occur in a china cup. (Figure 10.3 shows the most common sites of stress fractures in runners, in the tibia and fibula.) The fracture is undoubtedly present, but the opposing surfaces remain together because of surface tension and the binding from soft tissues. It is characterized by “crescendo” pain, which worsens with increasing distance run; it most commonly but not exclusively affects the lower leg or foot, and it stops only when the run finishes. On the next run it will begin earlier and worsen sooner. If this symptom is ignored, it may proceed to a complete fracture, with all the potential for disability of any broken bone, and will take at least double the time of a stress fracture to heal. Any runner with these symptoms who suspects a stress fracture is strongly advised to stop running immediately and seek a definitive diagnosis. Figure 10.3 Common sites of stress fractures in the tibia and fibula. Plantar fasciitis is often such a painful condition that it commonly prevents any running at all. The weakest part of this sheet of fibrous tissue that runs between the heel and the metatarsal heads (figure 10.4) is at the heel, where it becomes injured through chronic overuse, ill-fitting shoes, or sudden stretching from an irregularity in the running surface. The typical sufferer will wince when the underside of the heel is even lightly touched. If the exercises in this chapter are ineffective, then a physician’s steroid injection can produce a cure. Figure 10.4 Foot: (a) underside showing plantar fascia; (b) medial side. If an Achilles (figure 10.5) or any other tendon is injured, healing is delayed by the poor blood supply to these tissues. Although the diagnosis may not be too difficult—the tendon becomes locally tender and stiff, especially if stretched—there has been much dispute concerning the best method of treatment. Current opinion tends toward a regimen of extensive stretching, which needs to be repeated endlessly even after a cure has been effected in an attempt to prevent recurrence. To be of value, a stretch should be uncomfortable rather than painful, held for between 15 to 30 seconds, and never used in a jerky or unstable position, such as the performance of a quadriceps stretch by standing on one leg. Figure 10.5 Tendons, bones, and muscles of the lower leg and foot. Note, however, that self-diagnosis of any sporting injury is fraught with danger. Every injury is different in some way from every other and each requires individual assessment and management. It would be irresponsible of us to attempt to manage injury in a book that is aimed at improvement, so the preceding paragraphs should encourage you, the runner, to be aware that your body is not just a mean, well-oiled speed machine but, like all machinery, may need a little fine-tuning! Specific Training Guidelines Warm up by doing some light running before performing the stretch. If the stretch is part of a rehabilitation of a tight iliotibial band and running is not an option, walk or perform a warm-up exercise for the legs for 10 minutes to promote blood flow. There are many supposedly therapeutic treatments for running injuries, and many methods of performing those treatments. For example, the role of stretching in running training is widely debated. How often, what body parts to stretch, and how long to hold the stretch are some of the questions most runners ask running experts. Because the emphasis of this book is anatomy and strength training, an in-depth examination of these topics and the unraveling of the mysteries of stretching are left to you. We offer some best practices, but we also believe in the authorship of your own running training system. Attempt the strength-training and rehabilitation exercises prescribed in this book, and supplement these with others that your experience has proven successful. ITB Stretch Execution for Standing ITB Stretch 1. Stand next to a wall. Cross the outside leg in front of the inside leg (closest to the wall). Press a hand against the wall for support. 2. Lean the inside hip toward the wall, touching the wall if possible. Both feet should remain flat on the ground. 3. Hold the static stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat multiple times. Switch sides. Execution for Sitting ITB Stretch 1. Sit on the floor with one leg extended and the other leg crossed at the knee, knee in the air, and foot firmly on the ground. The opposite hand is supporting the knee joint. 2. Gently press the outside of the knee that is crossed toward the opposite armpit. 3. Hold the static stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat multiple times. Switch sides. Muscles Involved Primary: gluteus maximus, tensor fasciae latae Soft Tissue Involved Primary: iliotibial band Running Focus As mentioned in chapter 9, tight iliotibial bands are normally a result of supination, not overpronation. The inversion of the foot can cause tight calves, lateral knee pain, and tight iliotibial bands. Even pronators who are overcorrected by their stability shoes or orthotics, essentially creating underpronation, can suffer from this injury. Performing the standing and sitting iliotibial band stretch will help stretch this thick band

of soft tissue, preventing the painful rubbing over its attachment at the lateral femoral epicondyle. These stretches can be performed several times a day. Proprioceptive Standing Balance Execution 1. Stand between two walls, one on each side. Extend the arms sideways at shoulder height for balance. Do not use the walls to balance unless needed to prevent falling. 2. Lift one knee until it is at a 90-degree angle with the hip and the tibia is at a 90-degree angle to the femur. Close your eyes. 3. Hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds. Lower the leg and repeat with the other leg. Perform multiple reps. Muscles Involved Primary: peroneus longus, peroneus brevis Soft Tissue Involved Primary: plantar tendon Running Focus This exercise has a neuromuscular and physiological component. It may take a while to establish proper balance, but the foot and lower leg are working to find equilibrium, so the exercise is productive even if you don’t find balance immediately. Standing Calf Stretch Execution 1. Stand, facing a wall with one leg extended backward, foot planted on the ground. The other leg, flexed at the knee, has the foot planted on the ground straight down from the hip. Arms are extended forward at upper-chest height, shoulder-width apart. Hands are placed on the wall. 2. Press gently into the wall and gradually press the heel of the extended leg into the floor. A stretch should be felt through the length of the gastrocnemius. 3. Stretch statically for 15 to 30 seconds and repeat multiple times, or switch legs after every rep. Muscles Involved Primary: gastrocnemius, soleus, hamstrings Running Focus Runners with neutral or underpronated biomechanics often suffer with tight calves. This stretch helps alleviate the pain of a chronically injured calf and also helps prevent calf injuries by keeping the muscle supple. Standing Heel Raise With Eccentric Component Start position. Finish position. Execution 1. Stand with both feet on a step with the heels off the step. Hands are pressed against the wall in front. 2. Raise up onto the metatarsal heads of both feet to full extension (plantarflexed). 3. Lower gradually to full extension (dorsiflexed). Muscles Involved Primary: gastrocnemius, soleus Soft Tissue Involved Primary: Achilles tendon TECHNIQUE TIP ▶ Do not forcefully dorsiflex; it will place too much stress on the Achilles tendon. Running Focus This exercise both concentrically contracts (shortens) the calf muscle during plantarflexion and eccentrically contracts (lengthens) the muscle during dorsiflexion. As mentioned in chapter 9, including an eccentric, or negative, component adds value to this specific calf and Achilles tendon exercise. Studies have found that performing exercises with an eccentric component actually shortens the time it takes to heal an injury. Hamstring Stretch Execution 1. Sit upright lengthwise on a bench in a stable position. The leg with the hamstrings to be stretched is on the bench, and the other leg is placed on the floor with the foot flat to help stabilize the position. Place a towel or soft roll under the knee to be stretched with the knee bent no more than 5 degrees, and rest the heel lightly on the bench. 2. Move the torso forward toward the bench and flex at the hip joints to stretch the hamstrings. Maintain the position for 10 seconds or so, then slowly unwind. (There is no need to stretch out with the arms or to grasp the shin. This may lead to poor posture and an ineffective stretch!) Repeat three times. Alternate both legs in turn. Muscles Involved Primary: hamstrings Secondary: piriformis TECHNIQUE TIP ▶ There is no need to perform a hamstring stretch with the knee straight for specifically increasing hamstring muscle flexibility. When the leg is straightened, the tendency is for the stretch to be taken up more by the tendons and less by the hamstrings. Running Focus There are some runners whose particular style is to “pitter-patter” along with a short stride. Even if they are successful, this sort of running does them no favors if the race speeds up or a final sprint is involved. This exercise helps to increase the stride length without putting more strain on the lower back and sacroiliac regions. It should enable the stride length to be maintained longer as the runner tires, and eventually lead to improved performance. Seated Knee Press Execution 1. Sit upright in a comfortable position with room to extend the legs and knees. The back should be against a solid, supportive object. Both knees are slightly bent, heels on the floor. 2. Slowly straighten one knee in an attempt to push the back of that knee into the ground. Hold this position for six seconds. 3. Relax and allow the knee to flex slightly back to its resting position. Repeat the exercise but with the opposite leg. Do 10 repetitions with both knees. Muscles Involved Primary: vastus medialis Secondary: rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, hamstrings, gastrocnemius Soft Tissue Involved Primary: posterior cruciate ligament, hip joint ligaments TECHNIQUE TIP ▶ If you perform this correctly, you should have a pulling sensation at the back of the knee, and a visible bulge will appear above and medial to the knee as the vastus medialis is contracted and its bulk develops. Running Focus Knee pain is the greatest source of difficulty for most runners; runner’s knee is the biggest culprit. This exercise strengthens the vastus medialis muscle and counteracts the slightly lateral (outward) pull of the other quadriceps muscles, which tends to cause patellofemoral pain as the bone shifts in the femoral groove. There is no nonoperative cure other than the development of the vastus medialis muscle, so this should be an essential exercise in every runner’s training program. Knee-to-Chest Stretch Execution 1. Lie on your back on a firm but comfortable surface. 2. Use the quadriceps to lift and bend the knee to 90 degrees, then grasp behind the knee with both hands and pull it toward the chest so that you feel a pulling sensation in the lowest part of the back and upper buttocks. At the same time, resist the urge to flex the other hip, but push it down onto the surface. 3. Hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds and repeat no more than five times, two or three times per day. Alternate with the other leg. Muscles Involved Primary: hamstrings Secondary: piriformis, erector spinae Running Focus The lower back is usually ignored as a vital element of running until pain develops. By then it may be too late to correct. This exercise and those that follow give the lower back flexibility and strength. This is particularly important when climbing or descending hills. If the back can accommodate the changes of gradient, the stride length will also be increased by this flexibility in the hips and lower back. As with all stretching exercises, the aim should be to achieve discomfort without pain. Wall Press Execution 1. Stand approximately 18 inches from a wall with feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed inward. 2. Press your pelvis to the wall, adjusting the distance from the wall and the angle of the toes to gain the best stretch of the soleus. Keep your heels on the floor. 3. Hold stretch for 15 to 30 seconds and repeat. Muscles Involved Primary: soleus, gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior Running Focus Shin splints, or diffuse anterior lower leg pain, can be either soft-tissue related or bone (tibia) related. Both problems usually stem from overpronation; however, the soft-tissue variety is normally associated with midfoot horizontal plane abduction. This exercise can help prevent muscle pain in the anterior compartment of the gastrocnemius. This exercise can be performed multiple times daily and is effective when done regularly. Ankle Plantarflexion Execution 1. Sit upright on a comfortable, hard-backed chair. The foot is initially flat on the floor, with the knee bent about 45 degrees or so, depending on the height of the chair. Raise the heel off the ground, then invert the foot as though pointing the toes like a ballet dancer. Hold the position for 15 seconds and repeat up to 10 times, two or three times per day, with both feet. With tubing. 2. Place the chair in a position where a piece of flexible elastic such as Theraband can be attached to an immovable object on a wall in a loop. Sit in the same stretched position as previously and put the elastic around the midfoot farthest away from the wall. Use this as resistance to ease the foot farther into inversion and pull against it, strengthening the tibialis anterior muscle. Hold the position for 15 seconds and repeat up to 10 times, two or three times per day, with both feet. Muscles Involved Primary: tibialis anterior Running Focus The importance of the tibialis anterior muscle is in the flexibility it gives to the ankles and feet. It is very involved in increasing stability when running on uneven terrain because it helps to adjust the position of the foot and therefore the leg. As such, any prolonged hill or undulating rough ground will bring it increasingly into use. If untrained, it will tire rapidly and slow the runner down, as well as increase the risk of a sprained ankle. When strengthened, it will also help to limit the pronation and supination of the foot, the cause of further problems for the runner. Partial Sit-Up Execution 1. Lie on a firm, supportive surface on your back with both knees bent and feet flat on floor. Have the hands resting loosely on or hovering slightly above the thighs. 2. Lift the arms a couple of inches and slowly raise the head and shoulders off the floor. Reach with both hands toward the knees and attempt to hold the position for 10 seconds. Repeat five times. Concentrate on performing the exercise smoothly without jerking; just as important, also ensure a slow return to the resting position between stretches. Muscles Involved Primary: rectus abdominis Secondary: transversus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique Running Focus It is impossible to overemphasize the importance of a stable core for a runner. Weak abdominal muscles cannot help support the back. If the torso crumples under the weight of the upper body, running becomes difficult and painful. This exercise also helps to preserve the link between the abdomen and the lower limbs, and it adds some strength to the knee lift, which in turn will enable the stride length to be maintained. Seated Straight-Leg Extension Foot out. Foot straight up. Foot in. Execution 1. Sit on the floor with your arms behind you for support and one leg outstretched. In the early stages the ankles should not have weights attached, but as you become more adept, you may wish to attach up to 10 pounds of weight incrementally to improve strength. 2. Turn the foot outward and slowly lift the leg, locked straight but not hyperextended at the knee, until it is no more than six inches off the floor. Hold for 10 seconds, then, equally slowly, lower the ankle to the ground and rest. Repeat the exercise 10 times for 10 seconds and alternate with the opposite leg. The foot position can be changed to work all the muscles of the quadriceps evenly. Muscles Involved Primary: vastus medialis Secondary: rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis Soft Tissue Involved Primary: medial collateral ligament, patellar tendon TECHNIQUE TIP ▶ At first this may seem difficult, which is why you should not attach weights. The upper leg may well develop a tremor when first exercised in this fashion, but as strength is acquired, this will reduce and the whole exercise becomes easier. Running Focus If sports medicine clinics banned runners with knee pain, they would become very lonely places! Unfortunately, too many coaches place far too much emphasis on general quadriceps development and fail to comprehend the role of the vastus medialis in stabilizing the knee and the prevention of patellofemoral pain. This is the most effective way of producing the increase in strength and power in this muscle to ward off the demon of anterior knee pain. CHAPTER 11 ANATOMY OF RUNNING FOOTWEAR Runners who assiduously perform the strength-training regimen outlined in chapters 5 through 9 of this book, arrange their training to conform to the basic tenets of an intelligent training program as explained

in chapter 2, and take the time to perform the injury-prevention exercises described in chapter 10 can still be stymied in their efforts to improve running performance. Simply by wearing the wrong training shoes or the wrong orthotic device for his or her foot type, a runner may short-circuit his or her well-intentioned efforts to improve. This chapter endeavors to present some sound wisdom about footwear and orthotic selection by presenting an overview of how and why running shoes are constructed for particular biomechanics and how runners can choose the right footwear and orthotics for their specific needs. Why Wear Running Shoes? Running shoes work for running because they are designed and manufactured to meet the demands of bearing three to four times the body’s weight on impact, are designed for the biomechanics of running that are outlined in chapter 3, and are biomechanically (and, to a lesser extent, terrain) specific. Running shoes are designed on lasts, or forms that are models of the human foot. These lasts have shapes ranging from curved to straight with variations on the degrees of the curve, which make the shoes appropriate for the various foot shapes of runners. The term last also applies to the methodology of construction. A combination-lasted shoe stitches the upper fabric underneath a cardboard heel to provide stability. A slip-lasted shoe stitches the upper directly to the midsole, ensuring flexibility. A full-board-last (cardboard from heel to toe) shoe is the most stable lasting technique but currently is almost nonexistent in shoe manufacturing. Theoretically, curved slip-lasted shoes are designed for higher-arched, rigid feet, whereas straight combination-lasted shoes are designed for flatter, more flexible feet. Because flat feet tend to pronate (the inward rolling of the rear foot, controlled by the subtalar joint) more than high-arched feet, straight- lasted shoes, with the aid of stability devices embedded in the midsole, help limit the rate and amount of pronation. Conversely, runners who underpronate should wear curved to slightly curved slip-lasted shoes, which allow the foot to generate as much pronation as possible to help aid in shock absorption. Many runners err in choosing shoes because they do not know what foot type they have. If an underpronator trains in stability shoes, predictable injuries like calf pain, Achilles tendinitis, and iliotibial band syndrome will occur. If an overpronator trains in a cushioning-only shoe, stress injuries (including fractures) to the foot, tibia, and the medial knee likely will occur. For most runners, a qualified employee at a running specialty store can evaluate foot biomechanics, possibly by using a treadmill and a video camera, and successfully recommend multiple shoe models that, in theory, will prevent injury and provide a pleasurable ride. Occasionally, evaluating the foot becomes tricky due to motion not seen clearly by the naked eye, and a slow-motion camera may be needed to ascertain true foot movement. This is rare and usually not found in recreational runners due to lower training volume and velocity. Understand that biomechanics can change; what was once corrected may no longer be a problem, and new problems can arise. History of 20th-Century Running Shoes The history of the running shoe in the 20th century begins with Spalding’s introduction of the long-distance running shoe. The company outfitted the 1908 U.S. Olympic marathon team in its models, and based on observations of the marathon and the shoes’ performances, it created a line of marathon shoes in 1909. Both high-top and low-top shoes with a pure gum sole and leather uppers were “full finished inside so as not to hurt the feet in a long race.” Within five years, the gum rubber sole had been replaced by the leather sole, and the research and marketing of running shoes had begun in earnest, albeit in fits and starts. Although Spalding continued tinkering with its running shoe models, the intrigue in running shoes sparked by the 1908 Olympic marathon in London gave way to a fascination with track spikes, particularly those manufactured by the Dassler brothers of Germany. Worn by Jesse Owens in the Munich Olympics, the spiked shoes were little more than a soft leather upper sewn to hard leather soles with permanent “nails” built into the soles to provide traction on the dirt tracks. An interest in production of running shoes was rekindled in the United States in the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s, which ushered in the era of the running specialty business. Facing competition from the Japanese-imported Tiger running shoes, Hyde, New Balance, and Nike all began production of serious running shoes. The features of the new shoes were a higher heel, midsole cushioning material (EVA), and nylon uppers. In some cases, the shoes were well made; in most cases, they were not. By the late 1970s, Runner’s World began lab-testing the running shoes, and the manufacturers were forced to improve the quality of their shoes or lose market share. This change in the mind-set of the companies began a period of intense competition (that still lasts today) to provide the best fit with the most cushioning, stability, and durability in a shoe that looks good. Components of Running Shoes This section describes the components of the running shoe and their significance for the runner. The emphasis is on finding the right shoe, from a biomechanical and a fit standpoint. One part of the equation without the other could lead to injury. When purchasing shoes, remember that the cost of the shoe does not ensure its success. For one runner, an expensive shoe may only deplete his bank account without aiding performance; for another, the shoe may be expensive and perfect. Your foot type, shape, and biomechanics determine what is best when it comes to shoes. Upper The upper of a running shoe (figure 11.1) is the material that covers the top and the sides of the foot. It can be made of multiple pieces of fabric sewn or glue-welded together, or it can be made of a one-piece, seamless material. All current running shoes are of human-made materials (nylons) for breathability, comfort, and weight reduction. Leather is no longer used because of its lack of breathability, nonconforming shape after repeated use, weight, and cost. The front of the upper is referred to as the toe box of the shoe (figure 11.2). It takes its shape from the last of the shoe (the form the shoe is built on), but its style is determined by the shoe designer to meet the needs of the shoe wearer. The toe boxes of many of the shoes built recently are wider and deeper to accommodate the higher-volume feet that seem to have become more prevalent as the second running boom has corralled more recreational runners with larger frames into the sport. The midfoot of the shoe’s upper can be designed in conjunction with or independently of the lacing system (e.g., ghillie lacing) to allow for various upper fits. Occasionally, companies will attempt a nonsymmetrical lacing pattern ostensibly designed to improve the fit of the upper and remove “hot spots” (pre-blister-forming areas) from developing on the foot during running. Figure 11.1 Lateral view of shoe: upper, midsole, and outsole. Figure 11.2 Upper. The design of the upper of the shoe determines the fit of the shoe—not the length of the shoe, but how the shoe envelops the foot. This is important because if the shoe fit is improper, the biomechanical needs of the runner may not be met. Only when the fit of the shoe is spot-on can the function (be it stability, motion control, or cushioning) work as designed. For example, if the fit of the upper is too baggy in the midfoot, excessive pronation can occur despite the presence of a medial support. The lack of a proper fit renders the stability device ineffective in combating the pronation it was designed to limit. Injuries can occur—in this case, tibial pain—even if a runner wears a shoe that is the correct category for his or her foot type. This scenario often leads to disenchantment when purchasing shoes because of the confusion resulting from following the suggestions and guidelines and still not getting relief from pain. Here is a general point when purchasing shoes: If the shoe doesn’t fit your foot well, it isn’t the best shoe for you, regardless of whether its biomechanics are matched to your foot type. For example, it could be argued that for a mild overpronator, a cushioned shoe that fits perfectly is more stable than a mild stability shoe that is too roomy. In conjunction with proper fit, a heel counter embedded in the upper material ensures a secure, mildly stable ride when running. Heel counters (figure 11.3) are hard plastic devices that stabilize the rear foot, helping the foot through the normal cycle of heel strike, midfoot stance (avoiding excess pronation), forefoot supination (the outward rolling of the forefoot), and toe-off from the smaller toes of the foot. Heel counters can be removed in shoes manufactured for underpronators, but the possibility of Achilles tendinitis is increased because of the increased movement of the calcaneus and the subsequent pulling on the Achilles tendon. Figure 11.3 Heel counters and heel clefts. Midsole The midsole of a running shoe (figure 11.4) is made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) or rubberized EVA used to cushion or stabilize the ride of the shoe during foot strike. Developed in the early 1970s as a cushioning material to rival polyurethane (which is denser and heavier), EVA has been combined with other proprietary cushioning materials such as air and gel as well as engineering designs like wave plates, footbridges, cantilevers, and truss systems to minimize impact shock generated during the foot strike and to guide the foot through its normal path. The holy grail of midsole technology has been to find a material that provides a moderately soft ride and has the durability to withstand compression, which limits the life span of the shoe. A reasonable expectation for a running shoe’s life is 350 to 500 miles. The development of a midsole that could provide 750 miles of consistently comfortable running would be a boon both to runners and to the manufacturing company that patented the material. Figure 11.4 Midsole. The current crop of rubberized midsoles provide dramatically better cushioning than their “sheet” EVA predecessors from the 1970s, but there is an environmental cost associated with producing the material. Traditional EVA midsoles take approximately 1,000 years to entirely biodegrade. Some running shoe manufacturers are marketing eco-friendly “green” midsoles that are touted as environmentally sound because they degrade 50 times faster in a traditional landfill environment. Most runners look at the outsoles of their shoes to determine whether the shoes need to be replaced. Unfortunately, when the outsole of a running shoe has worn away enough to show significant wear, the midsole has been long compromised in providing cushioning. Because midsoles provide cushioning, they also absorb and dampen the shock of impact. During a 30-minute run, each shoe lands on the ground approximately 2,700 times. That is multiplied by an impact force of three to four times a runner’s body weight, so it’s amazing that no more than a two-inch-thick wedge of EVA can withstand approximately 150 of these training runs before being replaced. The midsole is also the part of the shoe that contains the various stability devices designed to prevent pronation. These devices are always placed on the medial side of the shoe, usually between the arch and the heel. The devices are located in this area to counter the effects of pronation, which is mainly controlled by the subtalar joint that is located in the area of the foot closest to this part of the shoe. Occasionally a shoe will be produced with forefoot posting (to prevent late-stage pronation of the forefoot), but this is a nontraditional method of design. Posting of the lateral side of the shoe is never done because increasing the rate and degree of pronation is problematic for pronators (leading to increased tibia discomfort) and needless for underpronators (a cushioned shoe allows for the foot to pronate as it needs to). Outsole The outsole of a running shoe (figure 11.5) has evolved dramatically from a materials standpoint from the gum rubber of the 1908 Spalding marathon trainers. The outsole (the part of the shoe that actually touches

the road) is made of carbon and blown rubber composites used jointly to make for a durable yet appropriately flexible ride. Most runners strike the lateral heel of the foot upon impact. Hence, manufacturers place the most durable carbon rubber in this area of the shoe to ensure longevity of the outsole. Despite the added durability of the carbon rubber, excessive wear will still appear in that area of the shoe for most runners. This is to be expected and does not indicate a proclivity toward overpronation or underpronation. It simply means the runner is a heel striker. If the outsole is completely worn through in the forefoot of the shoe, the midsole cushioning was compromised long before, and the shoe is worthless as a shock-absorbing entity. Because the outsole of the shoe lasts much longer than the midsole cushioning, using outsole wear as a guide for when to replace your running shoes is erroneous. The best method of measuring the life of a shoe requires little work. Pay attention to the mileage on your shoes by keeping a log or quick estimation of miles per week multiplied by weeks of training, and after approximately 350 miles, replace your shoes when you begin to have aches or pains in your legs that you did not have for the first 350 miles of the shoe’s life. Normally, if a shoe model is not correct for a runner’s biomechanics, weight, flexibility, or foot shape (all factors that determine the best shoe), discomfort or injury will occur within the first 100 miles of running. Thus, the wrong shoe should rarely be confused with an old shoe. Figure 11.5 Outsole. Shoe manufacturers are constantly altering the strike path of a shoe’s outsole and the surface pattern of the rubber to improve comfort and durability. Although these aims of the manufacturers seem to be worthwhile, the role of aesthetics in shoe design cannot be ignored. At every phase of design and development, the aesthetics of the shoe, its attractiveness to the consumer, must be weighed against the practicality of building the shoe and the effectiveness of the shoe for running purposes. Often the aesthetics of the shoe take precedence, and a much-hyped shoe proves to be a performance dud—albeit a dud with an expensive advertising campaign. Insoles and Orthotics Runners want to wear comfortable running shoes that help prevent injuries; however, because running shoes are not custom-made, there will always be a bit of a compromise when it comes to fit. Because each runner’s foot is unique and not even symmetrical with the other foot, it becomes apparent that accommodations may be needed in order to enhance a running shoe’s fit and its function. To customize the fit and function of their shoes, runners turn to insoles and orthotics. Each pair of running shoes comes with an insole. It is made of EVA or a material combined with EVA to add comfort (shock absorption) and to aid the fit of the shoe. It costs less than 50 cents to manufacture, and it is mostly useless. It is removable, and for a good reason. Most runners remove the inexpensive insole and replace it with a more cushioned or more stable insole that actually has some resemblance to the shape of the human foot. In the past decade, over-the-counter replacement insoles have become a serious revenue generator for running specialty stores. The proliferation of these stores has led to more retail outlets for the sales of insoles, and the insole manufacturers have responded by producing good-quality products for less than $30. It seems a bit redundant to spend $90 on a pair of shoes and $30 on a pair of insoles when you could just buy a $120 pair of running shoes. The true value of the insole is that it customizes the shoe to the runner’s foot. Thus, the $90 shoe feels closer to a perfect fit than the $120 shoe because it more closely resembles a shoe made from a mold of the runner’s own foot. Not only does the insole aid fit, but current insoles also help correct for poor biomechanics. They can be posted to compensate for pronation factors or high-arched to help prevent plantar fasciitis. They do work well, but they are not for every runner. Many runners can do without insoles because they do not have major biomechanical problems that their training will exacerbate. For those runners who have run a lot of miles in their lives, are training at a high volume, or have chronic injuries, insoles are a viable option. For those runners who do not find relief with an over-the-counter insole, the next step is to visit an expert (certified pedorthist or podiatrist) to obtain custom-made orthotics. An orthotic device is meant to correct an anatomical or biomechanical abnormality. In theory, an orthotic device realigns the foot strike, which, in turn, alleviates any imbalances or weaknesses through the kinetic chain of events initiated by running. Do orthotics work? Sometimes. Upon visiting a podiatrist or certified pedorthist, a runner should expect the following procedure to occur before an orthotic device is produced. The specialist should take a thorough history of running injuries, shoes worn, and remedies attempted. Measurements of leg length and an evaluation of joint mobility should be completed. X-rays can be taken, but they are often not necessary. After evaluating the feet, the specialist will proceed to make plaster molds of them. The doctor will place each foot in a “neutral” position and wrap plaster-soaked strips of gauze around each one. The most important step is placing the foot in the neutral position. This position is the key element in producing an orthotic that works well. Because the goal of an orthotic is to correct, the foot must be in the neutral position so a cast can be fabricated that shows any corrections to be made. The difference between the runner’s foot and the appropriate position of the runner’s foot when in neutral is the correction that needs to be made. When the cast is sent to an orthotics lab to produce the orthotic, a technician will evaluate the cast and take more measurements. From the “negative” cast, a “positive” model is created from plaster and is ground to the specifications provided by the doctor. A hard orthotic is fabricated from thermoplastic and filled with cushioning material. It is posted medially no more than 4 degrees to help position the foot in neutral at midstance. It is covered by a thin layer of synthetic material. A soft orthotic, also referred to as an accommodative orthotic, is more of a custom-made arch support than a posted orthotic. Its goal is less medial stabilization for pronation and more arch support for a runner with high, rigid arches. Normally, a running orthotic will be full length, replacing the insole of the shoe. It is not uncommon for a laboratory to offer a three-quarter-length orthotic. Because most rear-foot motion issues can be alleviated with a three-quarter-length orthotic, logic would dictate that the weight-saving inherent to a three- quarter-length orthotic would be welcome. Unfortunately, the lack of a continuous surface under the complete length of the foot leads runners to fabricate their own system of completing the orthotic. Purchase an orthotic with a full-length cover. The litmus test of a well-constructed orthotic is twofold. Does it fit comfortably into a running shoe (although it may be a different, larger shoe than you were wearing), and does the orthotic device eliminate the running injuries it was created to combat without causing other injuries? The answer should be a resounding yes! If not, contact your doctor for a follow-up appointment to reevaluate the orthotic. The pairing of an orthotic device and a running shoe is a combination of art and science. If a hard, corrective orthotic is worn, a neutral cushioned shoe that encompasses the orthotic well and provides a good fit may suffice in eliminating any overpronation injuries. If a stability shoe is still needed with a hard, corrective orthotic, take caution to avoid the possibility of overposting the foot. This marriage of a stability shoe and corrective orthotic is a possible recipe for iliotibial band syndrome, an injury usually associated with underpronators who stay on the lateral aspect of their foot through the foot strike, creating tightness in all the muscles and soft tissue laterally from the foot to the hip. At the first sign of pain on the lateral side of the knee or tightness in the hip area, reconsider the use of a stability shoe and corrective orthotic. Underpronators who wear accommodative orthotics should continue to wear cushioned shoes. The only caveat, and this is true for overpronators with orthotics as well, is that an extra half size may be needed in order to fit the orthotic into a running shoe. The orthotic replaces the insole that comes with the shoe, but it is higher in volume and thus needs to be fit properly so that the biomechanics it is meant to promote during running can proceed seamlessly. Barefoot Running Barefoot running could have been included in chapter 9’s list of exercises to strengthen the foot because that is essentially what barefoot running does best (along with developing some proprioceptive awareness). But daily barefoot training is not really a substitute for running in shoes. Given that most runners log the majority of their miles on asphalt, concrete, treadmills, and gravel-strewn trails, running barefoot daily seems a bit painful at the least; however, running without shoes does have many practical applications when used as a supplement to running training, much like the strength-training exercises outlined in chapters 5 and 6 of this book. It should not replace traditional (with shoes) training. The argument has been made that many African runners have trained barefoot and have had success (native South African Zola Budd is a famous example), but the counterargument is that all the world records are held by shoe-wearing runners. Proponents of barefoot running tout the muscular strength gained through barefoot running, which is an accurate assessment in the proper context. Advocates of barefoot running also tout the psychological release derived from running on sand and lush grass, which may also be because sand and lush grass are normally found in places more likely to be idyllic, although it is a tenuous connection to aiding running performance. The best reason to do some barefoot running on lush grass or hard-packed sand (not more than twice a week and no more than 100 meters straight for a total of 400 meters per session to begin) is to train the muscles of your feet to work differently than they do when running shoes are worn. Barefoot running forces the feet to work, preventing atrophy in the muscles of the foot that function the same way during every run in running shoes with or without orthotics. The antiorthotic movement in running espouses mixing in barefoot running and running in neutral shoes for overpronators to force the foot to strengthen itself to prevent future injuries. Just as the exercises in this book have detailed how to strengthen your body to improve running performance, barefoot running can help strengthen your feet to withstand the countless training miles required of them. As with all strength training, if you feel pain while barefoot running, stop. Summary The ultimate goal of a well-designed and constructed running shoe and orthotic device is to promote injury-free and comfortable running. Extra cushioning to limit the impact forces of the foot strike, stability devices adding medial posting to limit pronation generated by the subtalar joint, and transitional EVA densities to ease the transition from heel strike to midstance are all designed to meet this goal. Appropriate footwear and orthotic devices (matched to a runner’s biomechanical needs), when combined with the strength-training program for the lower leg and foot presented in chapter 9, should eliminate all leg and foot injuries. One caveat is that the running shoe and orthotic must be appropriate to the foot that wears it, and the shoe and orthotic device must be replaced when its cushioning, stability, and accommodative properties are compromised. Normally, a running shoe can be expected to last at least 350 miles, an aftermarket insole should last through every other shoe purchase, and a custom

orthotic should last at least two years (although the cover may need to be replaced). Trained employees at running specialty stores can help runners match current running shoes with the appropriate foot types and match feet with nonprescription insoles that provide similar protection as orthotic devices, but are not custom-made by a podiatrist. The effectiveness of any running shoe and orthotic device hinges not just on biomechanics but also on fit. A well-constructed shoe that is the right biomechanical choice for a runner may not function correctly if the shoe is ill-fitted to the foot. When purchasing a shoe, make sure the shoe is neither too long or too short, nor too wide or too narrow. Also, try the new shoes with the orthotic device to be worn in order to replicate the fit of the shoe-and-insert combination. Remember, if it doesn’t work in the store, it is not going to work on the road, trail, or track! CHAPTER 12 FULL-BODY CONDITIONING Chapters 5 through 9 of this book deal with strength training and the specific anatomy affected by properly performed resistance exercises. This chapter deals with alternative forms of exercise that complement the strength-training exercises detailed in the previous chapters. Specifically, this chapter examines water running and plyometrics as performance-enhancing training tools for runners. Full-body conditioning is an important training element because it can diminish the injury potential that a repetitive, high-impact exercise such as running can have on the musculoskeletal system. By substituting a deep-water running session for a land running session, you can avoid countless tons of force on the body’s anatomy without a concurrent loss in cardiovascular stimulation. Also, incorporating plyometrics into a training plan strengthens muscles, aiding the ability to withstand the impact of accumulated running training miles. It also helps in recovery from injury (when performed at the appropriate time), and it can improve running economy. Water Running Most runners have been introduced to water running as a rehabilitative tool for maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness after incurring an injury that precludes dryland running. However, runners should not assume that aquatic training’s only benefit is injury rehabilitation. Running in water, specifically deep-water running (DWR), is a great tool for preventing overuse injuries associated with a heavy volume of aerobic running training. Also, because of the drag associated with running in water, an element of resistance training is associated with water running that does not exist in traditional running-based training. Although shallow-water running is a viable alternative to DWR, its benefits tend to be related to form and power. Although the improvement of form and power is important, it comes at a cost. Because shallow-water running requires impact with the bottom of a pool, it has an impact component (although the force is mitigated by the density of the water). For a runner rehabbing a lower leg injury, shallow-water running could pose a risk of injury. More important, balance and form are easier to attain in shallow-water running because of a true foot plant. Fewer core muscles are engaged to center the body, as in DWR, and there is a resting period during contact that does not exist in DWR. For our purposes, all water-related training exercises focus on DWR. In performing a DWR workout, proper body positioning is important (figure 12.1). The depth of the water should be sufficient to cover the entire body: Only the tops of the shoulders, the neck, and the head should be above the surface of the water. The feet should not touch the bottom of the pool. Runners tend to have more lean body mass than swimmers, making them less buoyant; therefore, a flotation device will be necessary. If a flotation device is not worn, body position can become compromised and an undue emphasis is placed on the muscles of the upper body and arms to keep the body afloat. Once buoyed in the water, assume a body position similar to dryland running. Specifically, the head is centered, there is a slight lean forward at the waist, and the chest is “proud,” or expanded, with the shoulders pulled back, not rotated forward. Elbows are bent at 90 degrees, and movement of the arms is driven by the shoulders. The wrists are held in a neutral position, and the hands, although not clenched, are more closed than on dry land in order to push through the resistance of the water. (See figure 12.2 for an example of poor body position during DWR.) The strength gained from performing wrist curls and reverse wrist curls (see chapter 6) are beneficial for this. Figure 12.1 Proper body position for deep-water running. Leg action is more akin to faster-paced running than general aerobic running because of the propulsive force needed for overcoming the resistance caused by the density of the water. The knee should be driven upward to an approximate 75-degree angle at the hip. The leg is then driven down to almost full extension (avoiding hyperextension) before being pulled upward directly under the buttocks before the process is repeated with the other leg. During the gait cycle, the feet change position from no flexion (imagine standing on a flat surface) when the knee is driving upward to approximately 65 degrees of plantarflexion (toes down) at full extension. This foot movement against resistance both facilitates the mechanics of running form and promotes joint stability and muscle strength as a result of overcoming the resistance caused by drag. Due to the unnatural training environment (water) and the resistance created when driving the arms and legs, improper form is common when beginning a DWR training program. Specifically, it is common to make a punting-like motion with the forward leg instead of snapping it down as shown in the B motion on page 24. This error is due to fatigue of the hamstrings from the water resistance, resulting in poor mechanics. To correct this error, rest at the onset of the fatigue, and don’t perform another repetition until the time goal is met. Do not try to push through it. You won’t gain fitness, and you will gain poor form. Figure 12.2 Incorrect body position for deep-water running. Figure 12.3 shows a DWR technique that most closely resembles dryland running form. It is the best technique for facilitating proper running form while training in deep water. A high-knee alternative does exist (figure 12.4), but it is less effective in mimicking the nuances of proper running form. Instead, it more closely resembles the form used on a stair-stepping exercise machine. There is little running action other than the lift phase and therefore very little muscle involvement. DWR is effective because it elevates the heart rate, similar to dryland running. And because of the physics of drag, it requires more muscular involvement, thus strengthening more muscles than dryland running does without the corresponding overuse injuries associated with such training. Specifically, it eliminates the thousands of impact-producing foot strikes incurred during non-DWR running. DWR is easily integrated into a running training program either as a substitute for an aerobic run, lactate, or V O2max effort or as a supplemental workout, such as a second running workout of the day. Because pace is easily controlled by speeding up or slowing down leg turnover, adjusting efforts based on heart rate or perceived effort is simple. Studies have found that heart rates during water running are about 10 percent lower than during land running, so a heart rate of 150 beats per minute (bpm) during water running equates to a heart rate of 165 bpm on land. Also, perceived effort is greater in water because of the combination of greater muscle involvement and the warmer temperatures of most pools. Because running for an hour in the pool is boring to most runners, we recommend 50 minutes in a pool as a good substitute for an on-land easy run; fartlek and interval-type efforts should be the emphasis of DWR training. Also, multiple intense efforts akin to speed work on land can be performed weekly because of the lack of ground impact. The following are two sample DWR workouts. Figure 12.3 Deep-water running, traditional form. Figure 12.4 Deep-water running, high-knee form. Sample Lactate Workout The goal of this workout is to elevate the blood-lactate accumulation. At the end of each subsequent repetition, muscle fatigue should be increasingly present because the one-minute rest does not allow full recovery. This is not an easy workout, but it would not be a true speed session. Warm-up: 15 min easy running + 4 × :30 @ 5K race pace (perceived effort) 2 × 10 min @ 10K race pace (perceived effort) with 1 min recovery jog 1 × 15 min @ 10K race pace (perceived effort) with 1 min recovery jog Cool-down: 10 min easy running SampleV O2max Workout The goal of this workout is to simulate 5K race effort. Because pace can’t be replicated in a pool, the emphasis of the workout is on perceived effort. Heart rate can be used; if you know your training zones from an LT test and you own a waterproof heart rate monitor, the exact effort can be substituted. Rest is given to allow for proper form on each repetition. Note that, as in running on dry land, body position is an important component of running efficiency. Good body position (as described and illustrated earlier in the chapter) leads to a more productive workout. This would be a moderately hard effort for a trained runner and a difficult effort for a beginner. Warm-up: 15 min easy running + 4 × :30 @ 5K race pace (perceived effort) 5 × 2 min @ 5K race pace (perceived effort) with 2 min recovery jog 3 × 3 min @ 5K race pace (perceived effort) with 3 min recovery jog 3 × 2 min @ 5K race pace (perceived effort) with 2 min recovery jog Cool-down: 10 min easy running Plyometrics The term plyometrics is mysterious to many distance runners, although it is a common training tool for many elite distance runners, middle-distance runners, and sprinters, most professional athletes, and many athletes rehabilitating from injuries. For the noninitiated, it sounds like, and at times is represented as, a hyperspeed method of improving performance. Just perform plyometrics, drink amino acid-laced recovery drinks, and voilà, instant performance improvements. By definition, plyometrics means measurable increases, in this case through body-weight exercises. Because it is the use of strength, not raw strength, that contributes to speed development, plyometric exercises have one main goal: the conversion of strength to speed by generating a large amount of force quickly. Plyometric exercises train the neurological and muscular systems to increase the speed at which the body’s strength can be used. By performing plyometric exercises, runners can measurably improve running performance, but not in the way they may think. A by-product of the development of muscular power is an improvement in running economy. Running economy is the cost, or amount of oxygen, required to maintain a defined pace. The less oxygen used to maintain a certain pace relative to other runners or your previous measurement, the better the running economy. It does not quantify the efficiency of running form (the terms are often confused), although running form may affect running economy. Plyometric exercises trigger improved running economy through recruitment of muscle fibers in a way that distance training does not. A plyometrically trained athlete’s muscle contractions are shorter in duration; because less strength is required to perform the contraction (a result of both increased strength and neurological development), running economy improves. This chain of events leads to faster performances caused by the delay of muscle fatigue. But, unlike DWR, plyometrics cannot be substituted for running training to improve performance for distance runners. Although DWR has an impact on LT and V O2max, plyometric exercises train the neuromuscular systems with almost no impact on the cardiothoracic systems described in chapter 2. Without running training, plyometric training could not sustain improvements in running performance. There is debate about the phase of training in which plyometrics should be incorporated. There are no definitive answers, but we suggest one plyometric session per week during lactate training and two sessions per week during V O2 max training. The workout should be done before the LT or V O2 max workout takes place, in a separate training session

Ultrasound images can therefore only be attained for a certain distance from the ultrasonic Gain probe. This distance is called the depth penetration (or Gain, also called brightness, is the mechanism for penetration).

Equipment Endoscopic Ultrasonic Probe In this section, we will introduce the equipment used by the author, manufactured by Olympus Corporation. The frequencies and outer diameters of the endo- scopic ultrasonic probes we use are shown in Table 1.1 . Since the resolution and depth penetration of an ultrasonic probe are dependent on the frequency and size of the transducer (as the outer diameter of the probe increases, the size of the ultrasonic transducer also increases), the probe needs to be selected to suit the aim of the procedure.

If the highest at desired site of insertion and, after watching for needle movement during a few respiratory cycles, pushing the needle out while holding the scope and the hub in place. The “ jab ” technique (Figure 4.11 ) involves fi rst advancing the needle out of the catheter and then entering the

target area by pushing the cath- eter down while holding the scope in place. The “ piggy - back ” technique (Figure 4 .12 ) entails having the needle out of the catheter, with the catheter out of the working channel, at a fi xed distance in the airway lumen. The scope is then advanced into the target as one unit. The “ cough ” technique (Figure 4.13 ) requires a relatively awake and cooperative patient. In this tech- nique the patient is asked to cough while the needle coming out from the catheter is held in a steady posi- tion on the airway wall. The cough brings the airway wall onto the needle allowing it to penetrate the tissue.

Once connected and secured properly, monitor settings should be chosen for optimal picture quality. Our usual setting are depth 4 cm, penetration mode, and GI2 (contrast 2). The gain is certain at every start up of this ultrasound machine (Figure 4.24 ). Step - by - Step Endobronchial Ultrasound- Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration A thorough examination of the airway is performed with a conventional (non - EBUS) bronchoscope prior to EBUS - TBNA. Endobronchial lesions should be excluded which may obviate the need for EBUS- TBNA. An EBUS scope is then inserted through the oral cavity. Some experts go directly to the TBNA site, while others perform a thorough ultrasound examina- tion of the mediastinum prior to proceeding to the pre - selected site. I favor the latter approach, because the ultrasound survey often provides more practical Figure 4.18 An extra opening under the working channel port information

After the ultrasound - guided mediastinal survey, and before the fi nal approach to the insertion site, the tip of the scope is placed in a large airway, where the catheter and needle are positioned at its tip (Figure 4.25 ). The catheter is pushed out to the tip of the scope by loosening the catheter lock. The catheter tip should be barely visible on the upper right portion of the monitor screen showing bronchoscopic fi ndings. This can be done either before passing the scope or when inside the bronchial lumen. The needle lock is then Figure 4.19 This fi gure depicts the relationship between the loosened and the needle is advanced out to the tip of convex probe, balloon covering the convex probe, needle the catheter.

When hemorrhaging occurs following brushing or biopsy via the guide sheath, the blood usually passes back into the guide sheath rather than into the airway. This is because the outer surface of the guide sheath is snug against the bronchial lumen. If we wait around 2 min before withdrawing the guide sheath, in almost all cases it can be withdrawn without any further hemorrhage. We have experiencing a case of a large intrapulmonary hemorrhage, but thanks to the guide sheath no further treatment was necessary and only a small amount of blood escaped into the airway. pushed any further.

A resected specimen bronchial wall was fastened to a rubber slab with two 23 G needles. A 29 G needle was inserted into the various layers from the cut end, and advanced so that it passed between the two 23 G needles. We scanned the specimen to obtain an image that included the two 23 G needles with the 29 G needle showing as a dot- like hyperechoic spot. For histopathological evaluation in the ultrasonic scanning plane, a cut was made to include the path of both 23 G needles. The hyperechoic spot of the 29 G needle on the ultrasonogram and the needle hole in the histopathological fi nding were compared to determine which layers in the tissue specimen corresponded to the ultrasonographic layers.

and reinforcing the meanings of the terms. Use the other side of the paper in the same way (Fig. 1.3). Snatching Moments Carry your flash cards with you at all times. During most days, there are times when you can snatch a moment to use your flash cards. You will feel less stress when wait- ing in a line or for an appointment if you know that you can use that time for study (Fig. 1.4). Remember to use your good senses: SEE IT Employ your visual sense by making and repeatedly reviewing flash cards. SAY IT Pronounce each component out loud three times as you flash each card to reinforce your auditory sense. WRITE IT Make each flash card by hand using pleasant colored paper and ink to satisfy your kinesthetic sense. DON’T HESITATE TO ANNOTATE! Annotating simply refers to making notes as you read. Learning and reading research indicates that students retain information best after reflecting on what they’ve read and physically making notes with a pen or pencil that organize the material, clarify questions, and link new information to old. It is not enough to highlight or underline. As you read each chapter, and during lecture on related material, make notes in the Chapter 1 • Building a Medical Vocabulary: Getting Started 5 EPI- Figure 1.4 Snatching moments. margins and look carefully at every new term or definition you encounter. Draw lines to separate the component parts of key terms, and write out their meanings. MNEMONICS CAN HELP Mnemonics, referring to any device for aiding memory, is named for the goddess of memory in Greek mythology. Mnemonic techniques link things to be remembered with clues for their recall using the stimulus of images, sounds, smell, touch, etc. Con- sider the following applications: Draw pictures of word components for reinforcement. Often the most absurd as- sociations can help you to remember. It does not matter if they make sense to no one but you (Fig. 1.5). Make up rhymes or stories that help to differentiate between meanings. For exam- ple, “peri-,” the prefix meaning around, is often confused with “para-,” the prefix mean- ing alongside of. Use the two components in a sentence to compare their meanings; e.g., I sat “para” (alongside of) Sarah on the merry “peri” go-around. Figure 1.5 Draw pictures of word components for reinforce- ment. 6 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Make up songs and rhythms to help remember facts. Take a song you are familiar with like “Row, row, row, your boat” and insert words with definitions that are in tune with the song. Other Study Tips Give yourself a memory drill by listing word components, symbols, or terms on one side of a paper and then filling in the definitions from memory. Write corrections in red ink. List the incorrectly defined components on a separate paper, and repeat the drill. Repeat this process until you have identified a list of those most continually found incorrect. Spend additional time on those troublesome terms. Tape record lectures, and listen to pronunciations included in the CD-ROM that accompanies the text. Find a study “buddy” or group from class. Compare notes, study techniques, quiz each other, and enjoy healthy competition. Take advantage of the many fun and interactive learning activities this text pro- vides in the CD-ROM, including: • A pronunciation glossary with audio pronunciations • Spelling bees to help you recognize and correctly spell terms • Labeling exercises to reinforce and test your knowledge of medical terms and anatomy • Games in which you match terms or components with definitions • Scored and unscored chapter quizzes for knowledge assessment • Interactive medical record exercises Let your imagination be your guide.

These date to the founding of ETYMOLOGY. modern medicine by the Greeks and the influence of Latin when it was the universal The Greek root language in the Western world. Other languages, such as German and French, have etymon refers also influenced medical terms, and many new terms are derived from English, which to that which is true or is considered the universal language. Most terms related to diagnosis and surgery have genuine. Etymology is the Greek origin, and most anatomical terms can be traced to Latin. study of the origin and development of words from Once you learn the basic medical term structure and memorize the most common the source language, term components (prefixes, suffixes, and combining forms), you can get the meaning original meaning, and of most medical terms by defining their parts. Those mysterious words, which are al- history of usage. most frightening at first, will soon no longer be a concern. You will analyze each term with your newly acquired knowledge and the help of a good medical dictionary. This chapter lists common prefixes, suffixes, and a selected number of common combining forms. More combining forms and other pertinent prefixes and suffixes will be added in following chapters as you learn terms related to the body systems. The ba- sic rules for proper medical term formation, pronunciation, and spelling are also pre- sented here. The key to success in building a medical vocabulary is the groundwork you do now by making flash cards and memorizing the basic term components in this chapter. The work will pay big dividends if you do. Analysis of Term Components ROOT PREFIX SUFFIX Most medical terms have three components: root, suffix, and prefix. 9 10 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care ROOT AND SUFFIX Each term is formed by combining at least one root, the foundation or subject of the word, and a suffix, the ending that modifies and gives essential meaning to the root. For example, in lipemia, l i p / e m i a   ROOT SUFFIX   fat blood condition Lip (fat), the root, is the subject. It is modified by the suffix (emia) to indicate a condition of fat in the blood. Note that each component is dependent on the other to express meaning. Note: lipemia is synonymous with lipidemia (formed from lip, oid, and emia) PREFIX The prefix is a word structure placed at the beginning of a term when needed to further modify the root or roots. For example, in hyperlipemia h y p e r / l i p / e m i a    PREFIX ROOT SUFFIX    excessive fat blood condition The addition of the prefix, hyper, modifies the root to denote excessive fat in the blood. ADDITIONAL ROOTS Often a medical term is formed of two or more roots. For example, in hyperlipoproteinemia h y p e r / l i p / o / p r o t e i n / e m i a      PREFIX ROOT VOWEL ROOT SUFFIX     excessive fat protein blood condition In this term, the additional root, protein (joined to lip by the vowel “o”), further defines the word to indicate an excessive amount of fat and protein in the blood. COMBINING VOWELS AND COMBINING FORMS When a medical term has more than one root, each is joined by a vowel, usually an o. As shown in the term hyper/lip/o/protein/emia, the o links the two roots and fosters eas- ier pronunciation. This vowel is known as a combining vowel; o is the most common combining vowel (i is the second most common) and is used so frequently to join root to root or root to suffix that it is routinely attached to the root and presented as a combining form: l i p ROOT l i p / o COMBINING FORM (ROOT WITH COMBINING VOWEL ATTACHED) This text lists combining forms for easier term formation and analysis. Chapter 2 • Basic Term Components 11 QUICK REVIEW Complete the following sentences: 1. Most medical terms have three basic parts: the _______________________________, ___________________________________, and ____________________. 2. The root is the _________________________ of the term. 3. The _________________________ is the word ending that modifies and gives essential meaning to the root. 4. The _________________________ is a word structure at the beginning of a term that further modifies the root. 5. Often a medical term is formed of _________________________ or more roots. 6. When a medical term has more than one root, it is joined together by a _________________________ (usually an _____). 7. A combining form is a _________________________ with a ______________________ attached.

Memorize them in preparation for analysis of medical term formations, spelling considerations, and rules of pronunciation. Rules for Forming and Spelling Medical Terms Memorizing and spelling basic medical word components are the first steps for learn- ing how to form medical terms. The next step is to construct the words using the fol- lowing rules: 1. A combining vowel is used to join root to root as well as root to any suffix beginning with a consonant: e l e c t r  c a r d i  - g r a m    ROOT ROOT SUFFIX    electric heart record e l e c t r / o / c a r d i / o / g r a m e l e c t r o c a r d i o g r a m (ELECTRICAL RECORD OF THE HEART) 12 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care 2. A combining vowel is not used before a suffix that begins with a vowel: v a s  e c t o m y   ROOT SUFFIX   vessel excision v a s / e c t o m y v a s e c t o m y (EXCISION OF A VESSEL) 3. If the root ends in a vowel and the suffix begins with the same vowel, drop the final vowel from the root and do not use a combining vowel: c a r d i  i t i s   ROOT SUFFIX   heart inflammation c a r d / i t i s c a r d i t i s (INFLAMMATION OF THE HEART) 4. Most often, a combining vowel is inserted between two roots even when the second root begins with a vowel: c a r d i  e s o p h a g  e a l    ROOT ROOT SUFFIX    heart esophagus pertaining to c a r d i / o

/ e s o p h a g e a l c a r d i o e s o p h a g e a l (PERTAINING TO THE HEART AND ESOPHAGUS) 5. Occasionally, when a prefix ends in a vowel and the root begins with a vowel, the final vowel is dropped from the prefix: p a r a  e n t e r  a l    PREFIX ROOT SUFFIX    alongside of intestine pertaining to p a r / e n t e r / a l p a r e n t e r a l (PERTAINING TO ALONGSIDE OF THE INTESTINE) Breaking down and defining the components in a term often clues you to its mean- ing. Frequently, however, you must consult a medical dictionary to obtain a precise definition. Take a moment to look up parenteral, so you understand the complete meaning. Note: There are many exceptions to these rules. Follow the basic guidelines, but be prepared to accept exceptions as you encounter them. Rely on your medical dictionary for additional guidance. Chapter 2 • Basic Term Components 13 Defining Medical Terms Through Word Structure Analysis You can usually define a term by interpreting the suffix first, then the prefix (if pres- ent), then the succeeding root or roots. For example, in pericarditis, p e r i / c a r d / i t i s    PREFIX ROOT SUFFIX    2 3 1    around heart inflammation p e r i c a r d i t i s (INFLAMMATION AROUND THE HEART) You sense the basic meaning of this term by understanding its components; how- ever, the dictionary clarifies that the term refers to inflammation of the pericardium, the sac that encloses the heart. Note: Beginning students often have difficulty differentiating between prefixes and roots (or combining forms) because the root appears first in a medical term when a prefix is not used. It is important to memorize the most common prefixes so that you can tell the difference. Also, keep in mind that a prefix is only used as needed to fur- ther modify the root or roots. QUICK REVIEW 1. A combining vowel is used to join root to root as well as root to any suffix begin- ning with a consonant. 2. A combining vowel is not used before a suffix that begins with a vowel. 3. If the root ends in a vowel and the suffix begins with the same vowel, drop the final vowel from the root and do not use a combining vowel. 4. Most often, a combining vowel is inserted between two roots even when the second root begins with a vowel. 5. Occasionally, when a prefix ends in a vowel and the root begins with a vowel, the final vowel is dropped from the prefix.

Prefixes and suffixes are attached to the root to modify its meaning. Often two or more roots are linked before being modified. The following are examples of the various patterns of medical term formation using the root cardi (heart) as a base. Note the rules used for forming each term. Root/Suffix c a r d i / a c   HEART PERTAINING TO (pertaining to the heart) Prefix/Root/Suffix e p i / c a r d / i u m    UPON HEART TISSUE (tissue upon the heart, i.e., external lining of the heart) Prefix/Prefix/Root/Suffix s u b / e n d o / c a r d i / a l     BENEATH WITHIN HEART PERTAINING TO (pertaining to beneath and within the heart) Root/Combining Vowel/Suffix c a r d i / o / l o g y   HEART STUDY OF (study of the heart) Root/Combining Vowel/Root/Suffix c a r d i / o / p u l m o n / a r y    HEART LUNG PERTAINING TO (pertaining to the heart and lungs) Root/Combining Vowel/Suffix (symptomatic) c a r d i / o / d y n i a   HEART PAIN (pain in the heart) Root/Combining Vowel/Suffix (diagnostic) c a r d i / o / r r h e x i s   HEART RUPTURE (a rupture of the heart) Chapter 2 • Basic Term Components 15 Root/Combining Vowel/Suffix (operative) c a r d i / o / r r h a p h y   HEART SUTURE (a suture of the heart) A FEW EXCEPTIONS As noted above, most medical terms are formed by the combination of a root or roots modified by suffixes and prefixes. Occasionally, terms are formed by a root alone or a combination of roots. EXAMPLES d u c t  ROOT  to lead o v i / d u c t   ROOT ROOT   egg to lead Oviduct refers to the uterine tube. Sometimes, you will find a term formed from the combination of a prefix and a suffix. EXAMPLE m e t a / s t a s i s   PREFIX SUFFIX   beyond, after, stop or stand or change Metastasis refers to the spread of a disease, such as cancer, from one location to another.

Careless spelling causes misunderstandings that can have serious conse- quences. The following are some of the pitfalls to avoid. 1. Some words sound exactly the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Context is the clue to spelling. For example, i l e u m (PART OF THE INTESTINE) i l i u m (PART OF THE HIP BONE) s i t o l o g y (STUDY OF FOOD) c y t o l o g y (STUDY OF CELLS) 2. Other words sound similar but are spelled differently and have different meanings. For example, a b d u c t i o n (TO DRAW AWAY FROM) a d d u c t i o n (TO DRAW TOWARD) h e p a t o m a (LIVER TUMOR) h e m a t o m a (BLOOD TUMOR) a p h a g i a (INABILITY TO SWALLOW) a p h a s i a (INABILITY TO SPEAK) 3. When letters are silent in a term, they risk being omitted when spelling the word. For example, pt has a “t” sound if found at the beginning of a term [e.g., pterygium, but both the “p” and “t” are pronounced when found within a term [e.g., nephroptosis (nef-rop-tō’sis)] ph has an “f” sound (e.g., diaphragm) ps has an “s” sound (e.g., psychology) 4. Some words have more than one accepted spelling. For example, o r t h o p e d i c ORTHOPAEDIC (BRITISH) l e u k o c y t e LEUCOCYTE (BRITISH) Chapter 2 • Basic Term Components 17 5. Some combining forms have the same meaning but different origins that compete for usage. For example, there are three combining forms referring to the uterus: h y s t e r / o (GREEK) m e t r / o (GREEK) u t e r / o (LATIN) ACCEPTABLE TERM FORMATIONS As you learn medical terms, you can have fun experimenting with creating words, such as glyco (sweet)  cardio (heart)  sweetheart! However, in the real medical world, the word is formed when the term is coined. Often there seems to be no reason why a par- ticular word form became acceptable. That is why you should check your medical dic- tionary when in doubt about the spelling, formation, or precise meaning. Rules of Pronunciation When you first learn to pronounce medical terms, the task can seem insurmountable. The first time you open your mouth to say a term is a tense moment for those who want to get it right! The best preparation is to study the basic rules of pronunciation, repeat the words after hearing them pronounced on the CD-ROM accompanying this text and/or after your instructor has said them, and try to keep the company of others who use medical language. There is nothing like the validation you get from the fact that no one laughed or snarled at you when you said something “medical” for the very first time! Your confidence will build with every word you use. Following are some helpful shortcuts: Shortcuts to Pronunciation Consonant Example c (before a, o, u)  k cavity colon cure c (before e, i)  s cephalic cirrhosis ch  k cholesterol g (before a, o, u)  g gallstone gonad gurney g (before e, i)  j generic giant ph  f phase pn  n pneumonia ps  s psychology pt  t ptosis pterygium 18 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Consonant Example rh  r rhythm rrh  r hemorrhoid x  z (as first letter) xerosis THE PHONETIC SYSTEM Phonetic spelling for pronunciation of most medical terms in this text is in parenthe- ses below the term (beginning with Chapter 3). The phonetic system used is basic and has only a few standard rules. The macron and breve are the two diacritical marks used. The macron (¯) is placed over vowels that have a long sound: ā day ē be ı̄ kite ō no ū unit The breve (ˇ) is placed over vowels that have a short sound: ǎ alone ě ever ı̌ pit ǒ ton ǔ sun The primary accent (´ ) is placed after the syllable that is stressed when saying the word. Monosyllables do not have a stress mark. Other syllables are separated by hyphens. QUICK REVIEW 1. The pt in pterygium has a/an ____ sound. 2. The ch in the word chronic has a/an ____ sound. 3. The c in the word cirrhosis has a/an ____ sound. 4. The x in xerosis has a/an ___ sound. 5. The g in genital has a/an ___ sound. 6. The pn in pneumatic has a/an ___ sound.

Additional combining forms are intro- duced at the beginning of Chapters 5 to 17 on body systems. Each is presented with a slash between the root and the combining vowel along with a term example. Appendix A and the Quick Study Reference include a summary list of combining forms in al- phabetical order. Combining Forms Combining Form Meaning Example abdomin/o abdomen abdominal (pertaining to abdomen) lapar/o laparotomy (incision into the abdomen) acr/o extremity or topmost acrodynia (pain in an extremity) acrophobia [exaggerated fear of topmost places (heights)] aden/o gland adenoma (gland tumor) aer/o air or gas aerobic (pertaining to air) angi/o vessel angioplasty (surgical repair of a blood vessel) vas/o vasectomy (excision of a vessel) vascul/o vascular (pertaining to a vessel) carcin/o cancer carcinogenic (pertaining to CANCER. production of cancer) Cancer is Latin for crab. The cardi/o heart cardiologist (one who specializes word is derived from the in treatment of the heart) Greek word karkinos that was used by Hippocrates cephal/o head cephalic (pertaining to the head) and other early writers and cyan/o blue cyanotic (pertaining to blue) also means crab. Some authorities say the word was cyt/o cell cytology (study of cells) used because it describes the appearance of the derm/o skin dermal (pertaining to the skin) disease; i.e., just as the dermat/o dermatology (study of the skin) crab’s feet extend in all directions from its body, so cutane/o cutaneous (pertaining to the skin) can the disease extend in the human. Other authorities dextr/o right or on the right side dextrocardia (condition of the relate the term to the heart on the right side) obstinacy of a crab in erythr/o red erythrocyte (red cell) pursuing prey. fibr/o fiber fibroma ( fiber tumor) gastr/o stomach gastric (pertaining to the stomach) gen/o origin or production osteogenic (pertaining to origin or production in bone) 24 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Combining Form Meaning Example gluc/o sugar glucogenesis (origin or production of sugar) glucos/o glucose (sugar) glyc/o glycolysis (breakdown or dissolution of sugar) hem/o blood hemogram (record of blood) hemat/o hematology (study of blood) hepat/o liver hepatoma (tumor of the liver) hydr/o water hydrophobia (exaggerated fear of water) leuk/o white leukocyte (white cell) lip/o fat lipoid (resembling fat) lith/o stone lithiasis (formation or presence of a stone) melan/o black melanoma (black tumor) morph/o form morphology (study of form) nas/o nose nasal (pertaining to the nose) rhin/o rhinitis (inflammation of the nose) necr/o death necrocytosis (condition or increase of cell death) or/o mouth oral (pertaining to the mouth) orth/o straight, normal, orthostatic (pertaining to standing or correct straight) oste/o bone osteal (pertaining to bone) path/o disease pathology (study of disease) ped/o child or foot pediatrics (treatment of child) pedal (pertaining to the foot) phob/o exaggerated fear or hydrophobia (exaggerated fear sensitivity of water) photophobia (sensitivity to light) phon/o voice or sound phonic (pertaining to voice or sound) plas/o formation dysplasia (condition of faulty formation) pod/o foot podiatry (treatment of the foot) psych/o mind psychology (study of the mind) py/o pus pyopoiesis (formation of pus) ren/o kidney renal (pertaining to the kidney) nephr/o nephrosis (condition of the kidney) Chapter 2 • Basic Term Components 25 Combining Form Meaning Example scler/o hard sclerosis (a condition of hardness) sinistr/o left or on the left side sinistropedal (pertaining to the left foot) son/o sound sonometer (an instrument to measure sound) sten/o narrow stenosis (a condition of narrow) therm/o heat thermometer (instrument for measuring heat) tox/o poison toxemia (poison in blood) TOXIN. The Greek root toxic/o toxicology (study of poison) toxicon means troph/o nourishment or trophocyte (a cell that arrow poison and is derived development provides nourishment) from the word for the archer’s bow. The Greeks hypertrophy (condition of often used darts and arrows excessive development) coated with a poisonous substance. ur/o urine urology (study of urine) urin/o urinary (pertaining to urine) Common Suffixes Suffixes are endings that modify the root. They give the root essential meaning by forming a noun, verb, or adjective. There are two types of suffixes: simple and compound. Simple suffixes form basic terms. For example, ic (pertaining to), a simple suffix, combined with the root gastr (stomach) forms the term gastric (pertaining to the stomach). Compound suffixes are formed by a combination of basic term components. For example, the root tom (to cut) combined with the simple suffix y (denoting a process of) forms the compound suffix tomy (incision); the compound suffix ectomy (excision or removal) is formed by a combination of the prefix ec (out) with the root tom (to cut) and the simple suffix y (a process of). Compound suffixes are added to the roots to provide a specific meaning. For example, hyster (a root meaning uterus) combined with ectomy forms hysterec- tomy (excision of the uterus). Noting the differences between simple and compound suffixes will help you analyze medical terms. Suffixes in this text are divided into four categories: • Symptomatic suffixes, which describe the evidence of illness • Diagnostic suffixes, which provide the name of a medical condition • Operative (surgical) suffixes, which describe a surgical treatment • General suffixes, which have general application Commonly used suffixes follow in alphabetical order except for groups with the same meaning. A hyphen is placed before each to indicate their link at the end of a term. Appendix A and the Quick Study Reference include a summary list of suffixes in alphabetical order. 26 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Suffix Meaning Example SYMPTOMATIC SUFFIXES (WORD ENDINGS THAT DESCRIBE EVIDENCE OF ILLNESS) -algia pain cephalalgia [pain in the head (headache)] -dynia cephalodynia [pain in the head (headache)] -genesis origin or production pathogenesis (origin or production of disease) -lysis breaking down or dissolution hemolysis (breakdown of blood) -megaly enlargement hepatomegaly (enlargement of the liver) -oid resembling lipoid (resembling fat) -penia abnormal reduction leukopenia [abnormal reduction of white (blood cells)] -rrhea discharge rhinorrhea (runny discharge from nose) -spasm involuntary contraction vasospasm (involuntary contraction of a blood vessel) DIAGNOSTIC SUFFIXES (WORD ENDINGS THAT DESCRIBE A CONDITION OR DISEASE) -cele pouching or hernia gastrocele ( pouching of the stomach) -ectasis expansion or dilation angiectasis (expansion or dilation of a blood vessel) -emia blood condition hyperlipemia (blood condition of excessive fat) -iasis formation or presence of lithiasis (formation or presence of a stone or stones) -itis inflammation hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) -malacia softening osteomalacia (softening of bone) -oma tumor carcinoma (cancer tumor) -osis condition or increase sclerosis (condition of hard) leukocytosis (increase of white cells) -phil attraction for basophil (cell with an attraction for basic dyes) -philia pneumophilia (condition that has an attraction for the lungs) Chapter 2 • Basic Term Components 27 Suffix Meaning Example -ptosis falling or downward gastroptosis (downward displacement displacement of the stomach) -rrhage to burst forth (usually blood) hemorrhage (to burst forth blood) -rrhagia -rrhexis rupture hepatorrhexis (rupture of the liver) OPERATIVE SUFFIXES [WORD ENDINGS THAT DESCRIBE A SURGICAL (OPERATIVE) TREATMENT] -centesis puncture for aspiration abdominocentesis (puncture for aspiration of the abdomen) -desis binding arthrodesis (binding together of a joint) [arthr/ojoint] -ectomy excision or removal nephrectomy (excision or removal of a kidney) -pexy suspension or fixation gastropexy [fixation of the stomach (to the abdominal wall)] -plasty surgical repair or rhinoplasty (surgical repair of the reconstruction nose) -rrhaphy suture osteorrhaphy (suture of bone) -tomy incision laparotomy (incision into the abdomen) -stomy creation of an opening gastrostomy (creation of an opening in the stomach) -tripsy crushing lithotripsy (crushing of stone) GENERAL SUFFIXES (SUFFIXES THAT HAVE GENERAL APPLICATIONS) Noun Endings (suffixes that form a noun when combined with a root) -e noun marker erythrocyte (a red blood cell) -ia condition of phobia (condition of an exaggerated fear or sensitivity) -ism alcoholism (condition of alcohol abuse) -ium structure or tissue epigastrium [structure upon the stomach (region in the abdomen)] pericardium [tissue around the heart (sac enclosing the heart)] -ation condition or process of starvation (condition or process of starving) -y adenopathy (condition or process of gland disease) 28 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Suffix Meaning Example Adjective Endings (suffixes that mean “pertaining to” and form an adjective when com- bined with a root) -ac cardiac (pertaining to the heart) -al pedal (pertaining to the foot) -ar glandular (pertaining to a gland) -ary pulmonary (pertaining to the lung) -eal esophageal (pertaining to the esophagus) -ic toxic (pertaining to poison) -ous fibrous (pertaining to fiber) -tic cyanotic (pertaining to blue) Diminutive Endings (suffixes meaning “small”) -icle ventricle (small belly or pouch) -ole bronchiole (small airway) -ula

Care for the patient (one who suffers) was often given by priests who gave homage to mythological gods and performed rituals designed to appease those gods to rid the body of disease. Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician who lived about 400 B.C., is known as the “Father of Medicine.” He was the first to attempt to separate medicine from myth, and his writings include the first rational documentation of disease. He also wrote the Hippocratic Oath, which was the standard of medical ethics for physicians in his day and is the basis of modern ethical codes (Fig. 3.1). Curiosity about the body and the causes of disease led to the study of anatomy and physiology and the art of healing practiced by medieval physicians. Scientific progress led to the development of surgery, pharmacy, pathology, and other aspects of medi- cine. Hospitals were built to care for the sick and dying, and universities were estab- lished to study disease (Fig. 3.2). Medieval methods have evolved into the modern sophisticated health care system that provides comprehensive care. Physicians have branched out into many specialties of medicine and have been joined by a team of other health care professionals with highly developed training and skills. The Physician Today, health care is delivered by a complicated system involving many types of pro- fessionals. The most

prominent professional responsible for meeting the medical needs of the patient is the physician, also called a medical doctor (Fig. 3.3). HIPPOCRATES. Born on the island of Cos about 400 B.C. and known as the founder of medicine, this Greek physician created the art and science of medicine and removed it from the realm of superstition and magic. Our medical terminology really begins with Hippocrates because he was the first to write terms. Figure 3.1 Hippocrates. Chapter 3 • Fields of Medical Practice 41 HOSPITAL. Hospital is derived from the Latin word meaning guest house. The words hospital, hospice, host, hostel, and hotel have the same origin but now have different meanings. It is unknown where special institutions for sick people originated. The Romans had military hospitals by 100 A.D. Christian hospitals seem to have originated from the tradition of a guest house for travelers. In 6th century France, an institution for the sick was called hostel Dieu Figure 3.2 Three photographs (God’s hotel).

To practice medicine, however, the graduate with an M.D. must be li- censed. The license to practice medicine is granted after the applicant passes a speci- fied medical licensing examination and meets any other requirements established by the medical board in the state where the applicant wants to practice. The Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) is a medical practitioner similar to an M.D. but with a traditional emphasis on the role of the musculoskeletal system in Figure 3.3 Luke Fildes’ The Doctor. 42 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care maintaining function and balance in the body. Osteopathic physicians are trained at osteopathic colleges and are often affiliated with osteopathic hospitals. The licensing requirements for the osteopath are also similar to the M.D. and are established by med- ical boards in each state.

Today, with the rapid expansion of technology and the greater knowledge required to be proficient in treating patients, physicians have entered various nonsurgical and surgical specialty PHYSICIAN. areas.

A physician who included biology and has completed specialty requirements and passed the board examination is designated medicine, was concerned with speculation about the “board certified” and referred to as a “diplomate” (e.g., Joan Jones, M.D., Diplomate, origin and existence of American Board of Family Practice).

The significance of the caduceus for the medical profession is said to lie in the fact that the serpent symbolizes healing—some say because of its long life, others because the annual shedding of its skin suggests a renewal of youth and health, others because of its keen eyesight. The earliest representation of serpent and staff was the rod of Aesculapius, the god of medicine, which shows a single serpent twining A B around a rod or stick.

The The record that serves as a cornerstone for patient care is the history and physical. It doc- word originates uments the patient’s medical history and findings from the physical examination. It is from the Latin usually the first document generated when a patient presents for care, most often charta, a kind of paper recorded at the time of a new patient visit (Fig. 4.1), or as part of a consultation (Fig. 4.2). made from papyrus. Charta Subjective information is obtained from the patient and documented in the patient came to mean any leaf or thin sheet of fine paper on history, starting with the chief complaint (the reason for seeking care) along with the his- which graphic illustrations tory of present illness (indicating duration and severity of the complaint) and any other were made. In medicine, the symptoms that the patient is experiencing. Information about the patient’s past medical chart most often refers to history, family history, social history, and occupational history is then noted. The history patient record is complete after documenting the patient’s answers to questions related to the review documentations. of systems, which is intended to uncover any other significant evidence of disease. 54 Chapter 4 • The Medical Record 55 Once subjective data have been recorded, the provider begins a physical examina- tion to obtain objective information, facts that can be seen or detected by testing. Signs, or objective evidence of disease, are documented, and selected diagnostic tests are per- formed or ordered when further evaluation is necessary. The impression, diagnosis, or assessment is made after evaluation of all subjective and objective data, including the results of the physical examination and diagnostic test findings. R/O (rule out) is the abbreviation used to indicate a differential diagno- sis when two or more possible diagnoses are in question. Further tests are then neces- sary to rule out or eliminate these possibilities and verify the final diagnosis. Final notations include the provider’s plan, also called a recommendation or dispo- sition, which outlines strategies designed to remedy the patient’s condition. Further documentation in the form of progress notes is made as care continues. Most often, physicians are required to submit a current history and physical before admitting a patient to the hospital. When the patient is to have surgery, this report is often called a “preoperative” history and physical (see Figure 4.6). Following are common terms and abbreviations used in documenting a history and physical examination. Abbreviation Meaning/Explanation H & P History and Physical documentation of patient history and physical examination findings Hx History record of subjective information regarding the patient’s personal medical history, including past injuries, illnesses, operations, defects, and habits subjective information information obtained from the patient including his or her personal perceptions CC Chief Complaint c/o complains of patient’s description of what brought him or her to the doctor or hospital; it is usually brief and is often documented in the patient’s own words indicated within quotes For example: CC: left lower back pain; patient states, “I feel like I swallowed a stick and it got stuck in my back” HPI (PI) History of Present Illness (Present Illness) amplification of the chief complaint recording details of the duration and severity of the condition (how long the patient has had the complaint and how bad it is) For example: HPI: the patient has had left lower back pain for the past 2 weeks since slipping on a rug and landing on her left side; the pain worsens after sitting upright for any extended period but gradually subsides after lying in a supine position 56 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Abbreviation Meaning/Explanation Sx symptom subjective evidence (from the patient) that indicates an abnormality PMH (PH) Past Medical History (Past History) a record of information about the patient’s past illnesses starting with childhood, including surgical operations, injuries, physical defects, medications, and allergies UCHD usual childhood diseases an abbreviation used to note that the patient had the “usual” or commonly contracted illnesses during childhood (e.g., measles, chickenpox, mumps) NKA no known allergies NKDA no known drug allergies FH Family History state of health of immediate family members A & W alive and well L & W living and well For example: FH: father, age 92, L & W; mother, age 91, died, stroke SH Social History a record of the patient’s recreational interests, hobbies, and use of tobacco and drugs, including alcohol For example: SH: plays tennis twice/wk; tobacco—none; alcohol—drinks 1–2 beers per day OH Occupational History a record of work habits that may involve work- related risks For example: OH: the patient has been employed as a heavy equipment operator for the past 6 years ROS (SR) Review Of Systems (Systems Review) a documentation of the patient’s response to questions organized by a head-to-toe review of the function of all body systems (note: this review allows evaluation of other symptoms that may not have been mentioned) Chapter 4 • The Medical Record 57 Abbreviation Meaning/Explanation objective information facts and observations noted PE (Px) Physical Examination

It is a highly organized approach that encourages a precise method of documenting the logical thought processes of health care professionals. Data are organized so that information can be accessed readily at a glance, with a focus on the patient’s health problem. The use of POMR and its adaptations has grown in many areas of medicine. The approach is often used in medical schools, hospitals, clinics, and private practices (Fig. 4.3). The central concept is a medical record in which all information is linked to spe- cific problems. The record has four sections: • Database patient’s history, physical examinations, and diagnostic test results; from the database, the problem is identified and a plan is developed to address it • Problem list directory of the patient’s problems; each problem is listed and often assigned a number; problems include 1. a specific diagnosis 2. a sign or symptom 3. an abnormal diagnostic test result 4. any other problem that may influence health or well-being Once identified, each problem is evaluated, and a plan for treating it is written. When a problem is resolved, a notation is made to show its resolution, but the problem remains on the summary list. The original problem list is maintained in the record so that per- sonnel can easily orient themselves to the patient’s prior medical history. • Initial plan the strategy employed to resolve each problem is listed. There are three subdivisions: 1. Diagnostic plan orders are given for specific diagnostic testing to confirm suspicions 2. Therapeutic plan goals for therapy are specified 3. Patient education instructions communicated to the patient are notated Database S Follow-up O Problems Progress A Notes P Plans Orders Patient Therapies education Meds Figure 4.3 Problem-oriented medical record (POMR) diagram.

Chapter 4 • The Medical Record 63 HOSPITAL RECORDS The history and physical is usually the first document entered into the patient’s hospi- tal record on admission. Physician’s orders list the directives for care prescribed by the doctor attending the patient. The nurse’s notes and physician’s progress notes chronicle the care throughout the patient’s stay, and ancillary reports note the various procedures and therapies, including diagnostic tests and pathology reports. In a difficult case, a spe- cialist may be called in by the attending physician, and a consultation report is filed. If a surgical remedy is indicated, a narrative operative report is required of the primary surgeon. The anesthesiologist, who is in charge of life support during surgery, must file the anesthesiologist’s report. The final document, which is recorded at the time of dis- charge from the hospital, is the discharge summary. The following are descriptions of common forms used in documenting the care of a hospital patient. history and physical documentation of the patient’s recent medical history and results of a physical examination required before hospital admission (e.g., before admission for surgery) (Fig. 4.6) consent form document signed by the patient or legal guardian giving permission for medical or surgical care informed consent consent of a patient after being informed of the risks and benefits of a procedure and alternatives—often required by law when a reasonable risk is involved (e.g., surgery) physician’s orders a record of all orders directed by the attending physician (Fig. 4.7) diagnostic tests/laboratory records of results of various tests and procedures reports used in evaluating and treating a patient (e.g., laboratory tests, x-rays) (Fig. 4.8) nurse’s notes documentation of patient care by the nursing staff (note: flow sheets and graphs are often used to display recordings of vital signs and other monitored procedures) (Fig. 4.9) physician’s progress notes physician’s daily account of patient’s response to treatment, including results of tests, assessment, and future treatment plans (Fig. 4.10) ancillary reports miscellaneous records of procedures or therapies provided during a patient’s care (e.g., physical therapy, respiratory therapy) consultation report report filed by a specialist asked by the attending physician to evaluate a difficult case; note: a patient may also see another physician in consultation as an outpatient (in a medical office or clinic) 64 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care operative report (op report) surgeon’s detailed account of the operation including the method of incision, technique, instruments used, types of sutures, method of closure, and the patient’s responses during the procedure and at the time of transfer to recovery (Fig. 4.11) pathology report report of the findings of a pathologist after the study of tissue (e.g., a biopsy) (Fig. 4.12) anesthesiologist’s report anesthesiologist’s or anesthetist’s report of the details of anesthesia during surgery, including the drugs used, dose and time given, and records indicating monitoring of the patient’s vital status throughout the procedure discharge summary, four terms that describe an outline summary of clinical resume, the patient’s hospital care, including date of clinical summary, admission, diagnosis, course of treatment, final discharge abstract diagnosis, and date of discharge (Fig. 4.13) The sample medical records in Figures 4.6 to 4.13 chronicle the hospital care of Carleen Perron, a 28-year-old woman who was seen in consultation by Dr. Patrick Rod- den, an ENT specialist, who recommended a surgical remedy for the repeated infec- tions she has had over the past 6 months.

Chapter 4 • The Medical Record 79 Medical Record Abbreviations Following are common medical record abbreviations used in patient care documenta- tions. They represent the “acceptable” terms used extensively throughout this text. It is important to note that individual medical facilities provide their own list of acceptable terms and abbreviations that may differ from site to site. Memorize the terms and ab- breviations from this list, and plan on adapting them to the variations you encounter in the workplace. ERROR-PRONE ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS Medical errors caused by illegible entries and misinterpretations of medical ab- breviations and symbols have led health care agencies, such as the Joint Commis- sion on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), to require that med- ical facilities publish lists of authorized abbreviations for use by all personnel, including a list of those that are unacceptable. In this text, the abbreviations and symbols that have been identified as error prone are bolded red. Depending on the medical facility, their use may or may not be deemed acceptable; therefore, it is very important to study them, too, so that you can properly interpret their meaning if they have been used in a medical record.

Analyses of urine, stool, and blood specimens are recorded among the earliest efforts to under- stand conditions of disease. The advance of technology has led to the development of a myriad of highly sophisticated laboratory testing, examples of which will be fea- tured in this text as they pertain to a specific body system. The two most common laboratory tests performed as part

of a general health inquiry or to rule out a par- ticular condition are the complete blood count, or CBC (see Fig. 4.8, Hematology, and Fig. 8.6 in Chapter 8) and urinalysis, or UA (see Fig. 4.8 Continued and Fig. 15.9 in Chapter 15). It is valuable for health care professionals to recognize common diagnostic tests and procedures and the types of technology used to produce them. Diagnostic Imaging Modalities Methods of diagnostic imaging have rapidly expanded in the years since the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Radiation from x-rays, which pass through the body to produce images of the skeleton and other body structures, was found to be ion- izing, a process that changes the electrical charge of atoms with a possible effect on body cells. Overexposure to ionizing radiation can have harmful side effects, e.g., can- cer; however, technological advances have produced images requiring significantly lower doses of radiation to minimize risk. Further advancement has led to the discovery and use of other imaging modalities (techniques) under the umbrella of the medical specialty known as radiology. Com- mon ionizing modalities include radiography (x-ray), computed tomography, and nu- clear medicine. Common nonionizing modalities that present no apparent risk include magnetic resonance imaging and sonography. IONIZING IMAGING Radiography (X-ray) Radiography is a modality using x-rays (ionizing radiation) to provide images of the body’s anatomy to diagnose a condition or impairment. An image is produced when a small amount of radiation is passed through the body to expose a sensitive film. The image is called a radiograph. (Note: -graph is the preferred suffix used in radiology to refer to an x-ray record. It is taken by a radiologic technologist [also known as a radi- ographer] and interpreted or read by a radiologist, a physician specializing in the study of radiology.) (See Figure 4.14.) Computed Tomography or Computed Axial Tomography Computed tomography (CT), also known as computed axial tomography (CAT), is a ra- diologic procedure that uses a machine (called a scanner) to examine a body site by taking a series of cross-sectional (tomographic) x-ray films in a full circle rotation. A computer then calculates and converts the rates of absorption and density of the x-rays into a three-dimensional picture on a screen (Fig. 4.15). Nuclear Medicine Imaging or Radionuclide Organ Imaging This diagnostic imaging technique uses an injected or ingested radioactive isotope, also called a radionuclide (a chemical that has been tagged with radioactive com- pounds that emit gamma rays). A gamma camera detects and produces an image of the 82 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Figure 4.14 The first published x-ray image of the hand and signet ring of Professor Roentgen’s wife.

This is useful in determining the size, shape, location, and function of body organs such as the brain, lungs, bones, and heart (Fig. 4.16). NONIONIZING IMAGING Magnetic Resonance Imaging Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a nonionizing imaging technique using mag- netic fields and radiofrequency waves to visualize anatomical structures within the body. A large magnet surrounds the patient as a scanner subjects the body to a radio signal that temporarily alters the alignment of the hydrogen atoms in the patient’s tis- sue. As the radiowave signal is turned off, the atoms realign and the energy produced is absorbed by detectors and interpreted using computers to provide detailed anatom- ical images of the body part. MRI is particularly useful in examining soft tissues, joints, and the brain and spinal cord (Fig. 4.17). Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) applies MR technology in the study of blood flow (see Diagnostic Tests and Procedures in Chapters 7 and 10). Sonography Sonography (diagnostic ultrasound)[U/S or US] is the use of high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to visualize body tissues. Ultrasound waves sent through a scan- ning device, called a transducer, are reflected off structures within the body and ana- lyzed by a computer to produce moving images on a monitor. Sonography is used to examine many parts of the body, including the abdomen, male and female reproduc- tive organs, thyroid and parathyroid glands, and the cardiovascular system (Fig. 4.18). USE OF CONTRAST Some imaging procedures require the internal administration of a contrast medium to enhance the visualization of anatomical structures. There are many different kinds of contrast media, including barium, iodinated compounds, gasses (air, carbon dioxide), and other chemicals known to increase visual clarity. Depending on the medium, it may be injected, swallowed, or introduced through an enema or catheter. Compare Figures 15.5 and 15.8 (x-rays of the urinary tract) in Chapter 15, which show images taken with and without contrast.

Learn them as word stems from a foundation on which you will build as your vocabulary expands. the Latin word normalis, referring to that which is made according to a carpenter’s square, from Term Meaning norma, a carpenter’s square; thus, normal refers to acute sharp; having intense, often severe symptoms and a rule or pattern. Abnormal ă-kyūt a short course is out of line, not conforming chronic a condition developing slowly and persisting over to the rule of pattern. kronı̄k time benign mild or noncancerous BENIGN bi-nı̄n VERSUS MALIGNANT. malignant harmful or cancerous These antonyms, stemming mă-lignănt from the Latin words benignus, meaning kind degeneration gradual deterioration of normal cells and body origin, and malignus, dē-jen-er-āshŭn functions meaning bad origin, were first used to refer to degenerative disease any disease in which there is deterioration of conditions that were kind or structure or function of tissue mild as opposed to those diagnosis determination of the presence of a disease based on that were bad or severe. dı̄ -ag-nōsis an evaluation of symptoms, signs, and test findings Galen is credited for using (results) (dia  through; gnosis  knowing) the terms in reference to tumors.

They are found throughout the medical record. Efficient medical record keeping and effective communication among health care workers depend on knowl- edge of commonly used pharmaceutical abbreviations and symbols. UNITS OF MEASURE The following are common metric and apothecary units of measurement. Consult your medical dictionary for a complete listing of units of measurement and conversion formulas. Metric System Metric is the most commonly used system of measurement in health care. It is a deci- mal system based on the following units. meter (m) length 39.37 inches liter (L) volume 1.0567 U.S. quarts gram (g or gm) weight 15.432 grains Apothecary System The apothecary system is an outdated method of liquid and weight measure used by the earliest chemists and pharmacists. The liquid measure was based on one drop. The weight measure was based on one grain of wheat. Although the small apothecary measures are rarely used, the larger ones, e.g., fluid ounces, are still common. DRUG. The Middle English Common Abbreviations and Symbols drogge or Abbreviation Meaning drugge is derived from the Old French drogue, all METRIC meaning drug. Earlier origin is uncertain, possibly either cc cubic centimeter (1 cc  1 mL) a Teutonic root meaning dry cm centimeter (2.5 cm  1 inch) or the Persian droa meaning odor because many drugs g or gm gram had a strong odor. Although the ancients listed the use of kg kilogram [1,000 grams (2.2 pounds)] various medicines, the term L liter drug did not appear until the end of the medieval mg milligram [one-thousandth (0.001) of a gram] period. The word druggist did not appear until the ml, mL milliliter [one-thousandth (0.001) of a liter] 16th century. mm millimeter [one-thousandth (0.001) of a meter] cu mm cubic millimeter Chapter 4 • The Medical Record 89 Abbreviation Meaning APOTHECARY fl oz fluid ounce gr grain gt drop (L. gutta  drop) gtt drops dr dram (1/8 ounce) oz ounce lb or # pound (16 ounces) qt quart (32 ounces) MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION Prescribed medications can be administered to patients in various ways, depending on the indication for the drug and the status of the patient.

PRESCRIPTION ABBREVIATIONS Many Latin abbreviations and symbols are commonly used in prescription writing as well as in physicians’ orders. Being familiar with these symbols makes it possible to read a prescription or physician’s order. Historically, prescriptions were written in Latin. The words were abbreviated for convenience. For example, quater in die, Latin for four times a day, is abbreviated q.i.d. The periods were included to indicate the abbreviation of three words; if not carefully documented, however, they can be interpreted with drastic implications. For example, the period in q.d (meaning once a day) can be misinterpreted as q.i.d (four times a day) when handwritten. For the purpose of proper recognition, the periods were included in the abbreviations in this text, but the trend is to discourage their use, especially in writing, because they can be misinterpreted. In practice, you will find variations in- cluding or excluding the periods and the use of uppercase instead of lowercase letters, e.g., QID versus qid. Roman numerals were used exclusively in the early days and are still used today; however, most pharmacy organizations now promote the use of Arabic numerals only. 92 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Error-Prone Abbreviations and Symbols Listed is a sampling of abbreviations and symbols deemed most error prone, including the risk for misin- terpretation and preferred use.

State, federal, and private accrediting agencies, e.g., the Joint Commission on Ac- creditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), provide specific guidelines that reg- ulate how medical records are kept, including proper format for all forms, use of ap- propriate terminology and accepted abbreviations, protocol for personnel having access to records, and responsibilities for documentation. Corrections Sometimes mistakes are made when making an entry in a medical record. Careful clar- ification of the error is essential. If a mistake is made in a handwritten entry, it should be identified by drawing a single line through it, and the correction written in the mar- gin above or immediately after. Include the date, the abbreviation “corr.,” and the ini- tials of the person making the correction. The use of correction fluid, e.g., Wite-Out, is forbidden! The medical record often becomes evidence in medical malpractice cases. Obliter- ations and signs of possible tampering can be construed as trying to withhold infor- mation or covering up negligent wrongdoing. Complete and accurate record keeping is your best defense against any possible legal action (Fig. 4.22). Wrong Right Figure 4.22 Proper correction of a medical record.

It protects the body from injury or intrusion of microorganisms, helps regulate body tempera- ture, and houses the receptors for the sense of touch, including pain and sensation (Fig. 5.1). The skin is the largest organ in the body. Skin layers are divided into an outer layer called the epidermis, an inner layer called the dermis, and a subcutaneous tissue layer beneath the dermis. Chapter 5 • Integumentary System 109 Squamous cell carcinoma Hair shaft Squamous layer Receptor for (stratum corneum) touch Basal layer Pore (stratum germinativum) Epidermis Dermis Pilomotor muscle Sebaceous gland Subcutaneous tissue Sweat gland Basal cell carcinoma Hair follicle Free nerve ending Adipose tissue Receptor for pressure Venule Arteriole Nerve Normal nevus (mole) (Fig. 1) Malignant melanoma showing asymmetry (Fig. 2) Signs of melanoma Malignant melanoma showing Malignant melanoma showing A Asymmetry: One half does not match the other half border irregularity (Fig. 3) uneven pigmentation (Fig. 4) (Fig. 2). B Border irregularity: The edges are ragged, notched, or blurred (Fig. 3). C Color: The pigmentation is not uniform. Shades of tan, brown, and black are present. Red, white, and blue may add to the mottled appearance (Fig. 4). D Diameter greater than 6 millimeters: Any sudden or continuing increase in size should be of special concern (not shown). Figure 5.1 The skin. 110 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Epidermis The epidermis consists of several layers of stratified squamous (scale-like) epithelium. The two significant layers are the innermost layer, known as the basal layer (stratum germinativum), and the outermost layer, called the squamous layer (stratum corneum). The cells of the basal layer are constantly being produced, moving the older cells up to- ward the surface. As these cells are being pushed up, they flatten, become filled with a hard protein substance called keratin, and soon die. As a result, many layers of tightly packed dead cells accumulate in the outermost squamous layer, where they are sloughed off from the surface of the skin. Melanocytes, which produce the pigment called melanin that gives color to the skin, are found in the basal layer. Dermis The dermis, also called the corium, is the connective tissue layer; it contains blood and lymphatic vessels, nerves and nerve endings, glands, and hair follicles within a network of elastic and collagen fibers. Collagen is a fibrous protein material that is tough and resistant. These fibers give the skin its qualities of toughness and elasticity. Subcutaneous Tissue The subcutaneous layer is below the dermis and is composed of loose connective tis- sue and adipose (fatty) tissue.

POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Complex lacerations of the nose and upper lip due to a dog bite. OPERATION: Revision and closure of complex lacerations of the nose and upper lip. Agents used to clean the wound ANESTHESIOLOGIST: H. Vaughn, M.D. INDICATIONS: Anesthetic This 33-year-old female sustained a dog bite to her face while she was handling a dog at a veterinary clinic. Because of the complexity of her injuries, a plastic surgery consultation was requested. PROCEDURE: A type of absorbable Dead tissue The patient’s face was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A copious amount of dilute Betadine and saline were used to irrigate out all the lacerations. Subcutaneous tissues in the vicinity of the lacerations thread used to removed from were infiltrated with 0.5% Xylocaine with 1:200,000 concentration epinephrine. Attention was directed to the sew up deeper the wound patient’s upper lip. There was a laceration approximately 1.5 cm oriented parallel to the mucocutaneous layers of junction. There was another diagonal laceration measuring approximately 1.0 cm. The devitalized tissues were debrided sharply. The laceration was closed in layers with 5-0 Vicryl sutures and then with 6-0 and 7-0 tissue Prolene on the skin. Attention was directed to the patient’s nose. There are two major lacerations. There is a 2 cm laceration to the left ala. This was a full thickness laceration through the entire alar cartilage into the A type of nose as well as the entire alar rim. First, the devitalized cartilage was debrided sharply. The intranasal Absorbable nonabsorbable incision was closed with 4-0 chromic catgut suture. The alar rim was meticulously reapproximated with a few suture made of tacking sutures to produce perfect anatomic continuity. The remainder of the laceration was closed with 6-0 thread used to and 7-0 Prolene sutures in interrrupted and running fashion. At this time, attention was directed to another sheep or beef sew up surface laceration measuring approximately 2.5 cm located in the right nasal sill area extending to the columella and intestine coated layers of tissue, lip junction. The columella was detached. Again, all devitalized tissues were debrided sharply. Deep with salt to removed after subcutaneous tissues were approximated with 5-0 chromic catgut sutures in such a fashion so as to meticulously reapproximate the columella into its normal anatomic position. The nasal sill was prolong holding healing reapproximated with 6-0 Prolene sutures meticulously reapproximating the detailed anatomy of this area. strength The remainder of the wounds were closed with 6-0 and 7-0 Prolene sutures in a running and interrupted fashion. A few smaller lacerations were closed with Prolene sutures on the bridge of the nose. All the wounds were covered with Neosporin ointment, Adaptic, and appropriate bandages.

Three years ago, while playing basketball, he turned sharply and felt his kneecap pop in and out. It was acutely swollen and painful and required manipulation to reduce it. He had a course of PT and did reasonably well for a few months until resuming athletic activ- ities. Since then, he has had recurrent episodes of the knee slipping in and out, all re- lated to twisting and turning while surfing or playing basketball. His primary com- plaint is the episodic discomfort and the inability to trust the knee. He is asymptomatic at this time. PMH: NKDA. Hx of right ankle Fx in 20xx. Meds: none. Operations none.

The heart is the muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body (Fig. 7.1). Its hollow interior has four chambers: the right atrium and left atrium (upper cham- bers) and the right ventricle and left ventricle (lower chambers). A partition, called the septum, divides the heart into right and left portions. The atria are separated by the in- teratrial septum, and the ventricles are separated by the interventricular septum. The valves of the heart open and close with the heartbeat to maintain the one-way flow of blood through the heart. They include the tricuspid valve, the mitral (bicuspid) valve, the pulmonary semilunar valve, and the aortic valve. There are three layers of the heart: endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium. The endocardium is the membrane that

lines the interior cavities of the heart; the my- ocardium is the thick, muscular layer; and the epicardium is the outer membrane. Sur- rounding and enclosing the heart is a loose, protective sac called the pericardium. Blood transports essential elements within the body. It is circulated throughout the body via arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. (Blood is discussed sepa- rately in Chapter 8.) Blood flow through the heart is as follows. Deoxygenated (depleted of oxygen) blood returning from circulation in the body en- ters the heart through the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava into the right atrium. During atrial contraction, the tricuspid valve opens to allow blood to flow into the right ventricle. Contraction of the ventricle pushes blood through the pulmonary STRUCTURES OF THE HEART (arrows indicate path of blood flow) Superior vena cava Aortic arch Interatrial septum Aorta Pulmonary artery Pulmonary veins Pulmonary veins Left atrium Mitral valve Aortic valve Right atrium Pulmonary semilunar valve Left ventricle Tricuspid valve Interventricular septum Endocardium Right ventricle Myocardium Epicardium Inferior vena cava Pericardium BLOOD CIRCULATION ECHOCARDIOGRAM Normal, two - dimensional, apical four-chamber view Upper extremity Vein Artery Lung Lung Capillaries Lower extremity Figure 7.1 The heart and blood circulation. Chapter 7 • Cardiovascular System 195 semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries the blood through two branches going to the lungs and on through the pulmonary circulation (a network of arteries, capillaries, air sacs, and veins in the lung), where it is oxygenated (supplied with oxygen) and gives off carbon dioxide waste. The oxygenated blood re- turns to the heart via the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. With atrial contraction, the mitral valve (also called bicuspid valve) opens to allow blood flow into the left ven- tricle. Contraction of the left ventricle pushes blood through the aortic valve into the aorta. Blood is then carried to all parts of the body through the systemic circulation (ar- teries, arterioles, capillaries, and veins) to provide transport for oxygen and nutrients. Note that the right side of the heart (right heart) handles deoxygenated blood and the left side of the heart (left heart) handles oxygenated blood. The heart is the first organ to receive oxygenated blood via the coronary circula- tion. Branching from the aorta, the right and left coronary arteries divide to distribute blood throughout the entire heart (Fig. 7.2).

This pressure is determined by the volume of blood, the space within the arteries and arterioles, and the force of heart contractions (Fig. 7.6). Blood pressure (BP) technique involves measuring pressure within the walls of an artery during the period of contraction of the heart, or systole, and during the period of relaxation of the heart, or diastole. When blood pressure is written, the systolic measurement is recorded first, followed by a slash, then the diastolic measurement (e.g., BP 120/80 means that the systolic reading is 120 and the diastolic reading is 80). Blood Pressure Terms Term Meaning diastole to expand; period in the cardiac cycle when blood dı̄-astō-lē enters the relaxed ventricles from the atria systole to contract; period in the cardiac cycle when the sistō-lē heart is in contraction and blood is ejected through the aorta and pulmonary artery normotension normal blood pressure nōr-mō-tenshŭn hypotension low blood pressure hı̄pō-tenshŭn hypertension high blood pressure hı̄per-tenshŭn 200 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care VENOUS CIRCULATION Veins (carry blood to the heart) Tunica Jugular vein externa Subclavian vein Tunica media Superior vena cava Cephalic Endothelium Inferior vein Subendothelial vena cava layer Tunica ternal elastic intima Vein In lamina FEMORAL THROMBUS Artery Vein Femoral vein Thrombus Color flow Doppler showing femoral vein thrombus Figure 7.5 Veins. Chapter 7 • Cardiovascular System 201 Figure 7.6 Blood pressure determination. Cardiac Conduction Movement of blood through the heart is made possible by cardiac conduction. The cardiac cycle is the repeated action of the heart during which an electrical impulse is conducted from the sinoatrial (SA) node (the pacemaker of the heart) to the atrioven- tricular (AV) node, to the bundle of His, to the left and right bundle branches, and to the Purkinje fibers, causing contraction of the heart and circulation of the blood (Fig. 7.7). Initiated by the SA node, each myocardial cell responds to stimulation conducted by electrical impulses, changing from a resting state (polarized) to a state of contrac- tion (depolarized) and then returning to a resting state by recharging (repolarizing); it is then ready again to begin the continuous cycle of contraction and relaxation of the myocardium that pumps blood through the heart.

It protects the body by filtering microorganisms and foreign particles from the lymph and supporting the activities of the lympho- cytes in the immune response. It also serves to maintain the body’s internal fluid en- vironment by acting as an intermediary between the blood in the capillaries and tis- sue cells. In addition, it is responsible for carrying fats away from the digestive organs (Fig. 8.2).

The exchange of gases, called respiration, occurs when oxygen from the air is inhaled into the lungs and passes into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the lungs and is exhaled into the air. Respiration is also known as breathing or ventilation. Intake of air is called inspiration or inhalation, and outflow of air is called expiration or exhalation (Fig. 9.1).

all functions of the body and receives all input from the environment. There are two major classes of cells that make up the nervous system: the neuron, the basic structure, and the neuroglia, the supporting cells (Fig. 10.1). Each neuron is made up of a soma (the body of the neuron), dendrites (the afferent branches of the soma), and an axon (the efferent branch of the soma), which are linked via terminals called synapses. At the synapse, chemicals known as neurotransmitters are released to effect changes that inhibit or excite cells. They function within the vast complex of impulse-carrying fibers called nerves. A ganglion is a collection of somas in the peripheral nervous system, and a nucleus is a collection of somas in the central nervous system. Four types of neuroglia perform essential functions in the nervous system: ependy- mal cells make the cerebrospinal fluid that circulates in and around the brain and spinal cord. The star-shaped astrocytes have the responsibility of passing nutrients from blood to neurons. Myelin, the lipid that surrounds nerve fibers and helps to con- duct neuronal impulses, is produced by the oligodendroglia. The small, branching microglia perform phagocytosis. The nervous system has three divisions: (a) central nervous system, (b) peripheral nervous system, and (c) autonomic nervous system.

Coma is derived from a coma general term referring to levels of decreased Greek word kō mă consciousness with varying responsiveness; a meaning a deep sleep, a common method of assessment is the Glasgow coma state of unconsciousness scale (Fig. 10.6) from which one cannot be roused. In Greek mythology, delirium state of mental confusion due to disturbances in Comus was the guardian of dē-lirē-ŭm cerebral function—there are many causes, including banquets who indulged in fever, shock, or drug overdose (deliro  to draw the nightly orgies that resulted in furrow awry in plowing, i.e., to go off the rails) a state of profound insensibility caused by a dementia impairment of intellectual function characterized by drunken stupor. The dē-menshē-ă memory loss, disorientation, and confusion ingestion of a toxin such as (dementio  to be mad) alcohol is only one of many causes of coma.

Each eye is located in a bony orbit (cavity) of the skull and is covered by the protective fold of the eyelid. The sclera, the white of the eye, and the cornea, the transparent anterior coating, are part of the outer fibrous tunic (layer) that refracts (bends) light that enters the eye. The choroid, a vascular layer located just beneath the sclera, contains blood vessels that nourish the outer portion of the retina. The iris contains blood vessels, pigment cells, and muscle fibers. Muscles of the iris regulate the amount of light that enters through the central opening known as the pupil. Melanin, the pigment present in the epithelial cells that cover the iris, gives color to the eyes. The ciliary body is a ring of muscle located behind the peripheral iris that controls the power of the lens. The elas- tic, transparent lens, located behind the pupil, focuses light rays on the retina in the in- ner, posterior part of the eye. Aqueous humor, produced by the surface epithelium of the ciliary body, provides nutrition to the avascular lens and cornea. Vitreous is the jelly-like material that occupies the space between the lens and retina. The retina is the nerve tissue layer that contains cells for visual reception. The vi- sual receptor neurons of the retina are the rods and cones. Rods are responsible for vi- sion in dim light, and cones are responsible for vision in bright light. The macula lutea is the central region of the retina. It has a yellowish color caused by its pigment. At the center of the macula, a tiny, pinpoint depression known as the fovea centralis is the site of sharpest, central vision. The optic disk is the area in the retina where nerve fibers form the optic nerve for transmission to the optic tracts in the brain. 388 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Eyelid (palpebra) Canal of Schlemm Retina Meibomian glands Choroid Glands of Vitreous chamber Zeis Lashes Pupil Cornea Fovea Lens capsule centralis Lens Ciliary processes Anterior Optic nerve chamber Ciliary body and Blood supply Posterior ciliary muscle to retina chamber Iris Conjunctiva Sclera Optic disk Figure 12.1 Anatomy of the eye (sagittal view). The conjunctiva provides a lining for the eye and eyelid. The lacrimal gland, located in the orbit above each eye, secretes tears that lubricate and protect the eye. Tears con- stantly flow across the eye and downward to the lacrimal ducts, to the lacrimal sac, and then into the nasolacrimal duct that drains into the nose. The meibomian glands are sebaceous glands located within the rim of the eyelid that secrete sebum to keep the lids from sticking together, and the glands of Zeis are sebaceous glands surrounding the hair follicles of the eyelashes.

The organs form a tube or tract, known as the alimentary canal, extending from the mouth to the anus. The alimentary canal is composed of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and intestines (Fig. 14.1). The gastrointestinal system has three functions: digestion, absorption, and excre- tion. Digestion is the process by which food is broken down by chewing and swallow- ing and is then mixed with digestive juices in the stomach to convert some of the food into absorbable molecules. Absorption is the passage of digested food molecules through the walls of the intestines into the bloodstream to be carried to the body cells. Excretion is the elimination of materials that are not absorbed (waste products) by transporting them outside the body. The accessory organs that aid in the digestion and absorption of food are the teeth, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

The Greek word for gallbladder receptacle that stores and concentrates the bile produced sweetbread is gawlblad-er in the liver formed by the combination of -creas, meaning flesh, pancreas gland that secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum, and pan-, meaning all. The pankrē-as where it mixes with bile to digest food organ was so named biliary ducts ducts that convey bile, including hepatic, cystic, and because of its meaty or bilē-ār-ē common bile ducts fleshy character. Aristotle used the term. Anatomical and Clinical Divisions of the Abdomen Anatomical and clinical divisions of the abdomen provide specific or general reference for descriptive purposes. There are nine specific anatomical divisions and four general clinical divisions (Figs. 14.3–14.5). All references are based on the patient’s right or left.

A complete colonoscopy is being done to remove the polyp and rule out other concurrent lesions. CONSENT: The procedure and its risks including bleeding, infection, perforation, and sedative reaction have been explained to the patient, and informed consent was obtained. INSTRUMENT USED: Olympus video colonoscope. MEDICATIONS GIVEN: Demerol 50 mg and Versed 3 mg in divided doses. The patient had stable vital signs. A Fleets Phospho-Soda prep provided good visualization. PROCEDURE: The patient was placed in the left lateral decubitus position. After adequate sedation, a rectal examination was performed. No masses were felt. The video colonoscope was inserted in the rectum and advanced carefully to the cecum. The location of the cecum was confirmed by internal and external landmarks, and photographic documentation was obtained. The terminal ileum was then cannulated. This was normal to about 2 cm. The scope was brought back to the cecum and then gradually withdrawn. The lining of the colon was thoroughly inspected. There were scattered diverticula noted in the sigmoid colon. A pediculated 4 mm polyp was seen in the sigmoid colon at 30 cm from the anal verge. This was removed using a snare and submitted to pathology lab for biopsy. The scope was brought back to the rectum and retroflexed. Minimal hemorrhoids were noted. The scope was straightened, air was aspirated, and the scope was withdrawn. The patient tolerated the procedure well. IMPRESSION: 1. POLYP ON SIGMOID COLON AT 30 CM. 2. SIGMOID DIVERTICULAR DISEASE. 3. HEMORRHOIDS. PLAN: 1. A high-fiber diet is indicated. 2. Await pathology results. If adenomatous, a full colonoscopy is indicated in 3 years. If hyperplastic or normal, a colonoscopy is indicated in 10 years. _________________________________ Roger Blain, M.D. RB:mw D : 4/29/xx T: 5/1/xx cc: R.

The principal organs of the urinary system, the kidneys, are located on each side of the lum- bar region. They filter the blood and secrete water and nitrogenous wastes (e.g., urea, creatinine) in the form of urine. The functional unit of the kidney is called the nephron. Each nephron consists of a glomerulus, the little ball-shaped cluster of capillaries at the top; Bowman’s capsule, the top part that encloses the nephron; and a renal tubule, the stem portion of the nephron. Approximately one million nephrons make up the cortex, the outer part of each kidney. They gather waste substances by filtering the blood that enters the kid- ney through the renal artery at the hilum, the prominent indented portion. In the medulla, the inner portion of the kidney, the calyces collect urine from the tubules of the nephrons and drain their contents into the renal pelvis, the basin-like portion of the ureter within the kidney. 484 Medical Terminology: The Language of Health Care Right kidney Left kidney Inferior vena cava Abdominal aorta Ureters Urinary bladder Urethra Pubic bone Figure 15.1 Urinary system. The ureters, usually one for each kidney, are tubes that carry the urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder, where it

is held until being expelled during urination (micturition). The urethra is the single canal that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. The urethral meatus is the opening in the urethra to the outside of the body. In addition to excreting waste products such as urea and creatinine, the kidneys play an essential life-sustaining role by regulating the levels of critical elements such as water, sodium, and potassium.

These structures are responsible for producing and main- taining female ova and providing a place for the implantation and nurturing of the fer- tilized ovum until birth. Treatment of the female reproductive system involves two medical specialties: gynecology and obstetrics.

Hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary gland control the four stages of the menstrual cycle: Menstrual stage (period) Days 1–5 Shedding of unused endometrial tissue in a bloody discharge Follicular stage Days 6–13 Secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), initiating growth of an ovum in the graafian follicle, and release of estrogen by the maturing follicle, causing thickening and revitalization of the endometrial lining Ovulatory stage Days 14–16 Secretion of luteinizing hormone causes the follicle to rupture and release the mature ovum into the uterine tube; the ruptured follicle, remaining in the ovary, transforms into the corpus luteum, which then secretes progesterone and estrogen to further nourish the endometrium. Premenstrual stage Days 17–28 If conception does not take place, the corpus luteum stops secreting progesterone and estrogen, thinning of the endometrial lining occurs, and tissue breakdown culminates in menstruation.

issues. In the case of adenovirus, there is as yet no atomic structure for the intact virion. In 1985, a prelimi­ nary X-ray crystallographic density map of the Ad2 hexon showed that the capsomer was a trimer of polypeptide II with a triangular top and a pseu- dohexagonal base [19]. Together with the early electron microscopy of the intact virion [1], the crystallographically observed hexon symmetry fixed the copy number of polypeptide II at 720 in the Ad virion. The stoichiometry of eight other structural proteins (III, Ilia, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX) was inferred by careful sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analyses of radiolabeled virions ([^^S] methionine) using hexon as the standard [20]. After adenovirus protease cleavage sites were found in the sequences of polypeptides Ilia, VI, and VIII [18], changing the number of methionines in the mature proteins, their predicted copy numbers were revised [21]. The molecular stoichiometry indicated that there is symmetry mismatch in the Ad penton [20]. Symmetry mismatches are not unheard of in icosahedral viruses. One example is SV40, which has pentamers of VPl at sites of both local fivefold and sixfold symmetry in the crystal structure [22]. The conformationally flexible C-termini of VPl are able to adapt to the position of the pentamer within the SV40 capsid. In the case of adenovirus, three copies of polypeptide IV form the fiber and five copies of polypeptide III form the penton base. The fiber and penton base together compose the penton, which sits at the fivefold symmetry axes of the icosahedral capsid. Microheterogeneity in the Ad penton base has been offered as an explanation for the symmetry mismatch [20]. 1. Adenovirus Structure More recently a reversed-phase high-performance Hquid chromato­ graphic (RP-HPLC) assay was developed in order to more fully characterize the Ad5 proteome [23]. N-terminal protein sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectroscopy were used to identify each component protein contributing at least 2% to the total protein mass of the virus. Peaks for the fiber protein, which contributes only 1.8% of the total protein mass, as well as the terminal protein and the protease, were not identified. The mass of the remaining structural proteins was determined to within ± 0 . 1 % . Their copy numbers were estimated using hexon as the standard and with the exception of the copy number for the core polypeptide VII, which was significantly reduced, the new copy numbers are in good agreement with the SDS-PAGE numbers [20, 21]. The precise mass measurements confirmed the proteolytic processing of polypeptides Ilia, VI, VII, VIII, and mu and interestingly cleaved precursor products of all but polypeptide Ilia were found to be present in the purified Ad5 virions. III. Structure of the Intact Virion In 1991 the first structure of an intact Ad particle was determined by cryo- electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and three-dimensional image reconstruction methods [24]. The technique of cryo-EM was developed in the mid-1980s by Dubochet and colleagues [25] for imaging viruses and other macromolecular assemblies in a native-like, frozen-hydrated state. Since then it has proven to be a powerful approach for studying icosahedral viruses and it has been applied to numerous members of over 20 different viral families [26]. The method involves placing a droplet of concentrated virus on an EM grid layered with a holey carbon film (carbon with holes 1-10 ixm in diameter), blotting with a piece of filter paper to leave a thin (~1000 A) layer of water and sample stretched across the holes of the grid, and then plunge freezing into a cryogen such as ethane slush chilled by liquid nitrogen. This rapid freezing causes formation of vitreous (amorphous) ice rather than crystalline ice. Formation of normal crystalline (hexagonal) ice would be harmful to the biological sample because of its expansion relative to liquid water. After cryo-freezing the sample grids are maintained at liquid nitrogen temperature to preserve the vitreous state. Transmission electron micrographs are collected using a low dose of electrons to avoid significant radiation damage to the frozen, unstained sample. The real power of the technique lies in the fact that many particle images can be computationally combined to generate a three-dimensional density map [26-28]. In the early 35-A-resolution reconstruction of Ad2, the features of the icosahedral protein capsid were clear and its dimensions without the fiber were measured as 914, 884, and 870 A along the five-, two-, and threefold symmetry Phoebe L. Stev^art axes, respectively [24]. The reconstruction showed the trimeric shape of the hexon, the pentameric shape of the penton base, and a short portion (^^88 A) of the fiber shaft. The full-length fiber, ~300 A long including the knob at the distal end, was occasionally visible in cryo-electron micrographs. Comparison of these particle images with projections of modeled full-length fibers indicated that the knobs were not positioned as would be expected if the fibers were straight. This suggested that the Ad fibers in the intact Ad2 particle are bent or flexible. Electron micrographs of negatively stained Ad2 fibers show a bend close to the N-terminal end, which binds the penton base [29]. A pseudo repeat of 15 residues was noted in the central section of the Ad2 fiber sequence [30] and later analysis of the fiber sequences from a variety of Ad serotypes revealed a range of 6-23 pseudorepeats in the shaft [31]. A long, nonconsensus repeat at motif 3 was proposed to induce a bend in the shaft of many Ad serotypes [31]. The idea that the fiber is bent for many Ad serotypes is consistent with both negative-stain electron micrographs [29] and the fact that only a short rigid portion of the Ad2 fiber shaft was reconstructed [24]. A more recent cryo-EM reconstruction of Ad2 [3] is shown in Fig. 1 (see color insert) with modeled full-length fibers. Reconstructions have now been pubHshed of Ad2 at 17-A resolution [32], Ad5 [33], Adl2 [3], Ad2 complexed with a Fab fragment from a monoclonal antibody directed against the integrin-binding region of the penton base [34], both Ad2 and Adl2 complexed with a soluble form of avp5 integrin, the internalization receptor for many Ad serotypes [3], and a fiberless Ad5 vector [33]. The capsids of these Ad serotypes appear quite similar, with only subtle differences observed in the size and flexibility of the surface protrusions of the hexon and penton base [3]. IV. Structure of the Capsid Components A. Hexon, Polypeptide II Crystal structures have been published for hexon of serotype Ad2 [5] and Ad5 [6], two members of subgroup C. The sequences of these hexons (967 amino acids for Ad2, 951 for Ad5) are closely related with 86% amino acid identity. Both structures show that the monomer has two eight-stranded P-barrels at the base and long loops that intertwine in the trimer to form a triangularly shaped top (Fig. 2). The high degree of interlocking observed between the monomers might explain why an adenovirus-encoded 100-kDa protein is required for trimer assembly [35]. In the trimer the six ^-barrels, two from each monomer, form a ring with pseudohexagonal symmetry that allows for close packing with six neighboring capsomers in the icosahedral capsid. Regions of the electron density for the Ad2 hexon, refined to 2.9-A resolution. 1. Adenovirus Structure Figure 2 The crystallographic structure of the Ad5 hexon trimer [6] with one monomer shown in block (PDB ID: 1RUX [90]). (A) A side view showing the two p-borrels near the bottom of the block monomer. Note that there are several gaps in the atomic model at the top of the molecule. (B) A top view revealing the pseudohexagonal shape of the bottom of the trimer. This figure was generated with the program MOLSCRIPT [91 ]. were unclear and gaps were left in the atomic model. During refinement of the Ad5 hexon to 2.5-A resolution, significant changes were made in the atomic model involving reassignment of greater than 25% of the sequence. In light of this result and the high homology between the two hexons, it has been suggested that the Ad2 atomic model should be revised [6], The most significant change was a shift of the first 130 amino acids leaving a gap of just four residues at the N-terminus of the Ad5 structure vs an N-terminal gap of 43 residues in the initial Ad2 model. Phoebe L. Ste>vart Revision of the hexon structure has cleared up several mysteries in the lit­ erature. First, a comprehensive comparison of hexon sequences from serotypes in all six human subgroups as v^ell as bovine and mouse serotypes found seven hypervariable regions [36]. Alignment vv̂ ith the Ad2 hexon structure indicated that five regions w êre in exposed loops as expected, v^hile tw ô regions w êre buried. The Ad5 hexon structure nov^ show ŝ all seven hypervariable loops exposed on the top of the molecule [6]. Second, trypsin cleavage sites v^ere identified at Arg-142 and Arg-165 in Ad2 [37] and these are nov\̂ located in the exposed top of the hexon molecule [6]. Similarly a pH-dependent cleavage site for the proteolytic enzyme dispase w âs found somew^here betw^een residues 135 and 150 of the Ad2 hexon [38]. In the original Ad2 hexon structure this stretch w âs buried and far from the top of the molecule. In the Ad5 hexon structure this region is likely exposed on the molecule, although it is in an unmodeled region of the structure [6]. The Ad5 structure places a previously buried highly acidic stretch of residues, 133-161 for Ad2, at the top of the molecule and accessible to solvent [6]. The acidic region is also found in the Ad5 hexon sequence, but not in those of Ad9, Adl2, or Ad37. In the Ad8 hexon sequence there is a longer, slightly basic insertion at this position [36]. It has been suggested that the acidic stretch may create an electrostatic repulsion betw^een the exterior of the Ad2 or Ad5 virion and acidic cell surface proteins [39]. Others have proposed that perhaps the acidic region plays a role in tissue tropism for the subgroup C viruses [40]. B. Penton Base, Polypeptide III In the absence of a crystal structure for the penton base, structural information on this protein comes mainly from cryo-EM reconstructions of the dodecahedron formed by Ad3 pentons [41] and intact Ad virions of various serotypes [3, 32-34]. Alignment of the know^n penton base sequences from subgroups A, B, C, and E shoves high homology throughout the protein except for a central variable length region that contains the nearly alw^ays conserved Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence, residues 340-342 for Ad2 [4,42]. The Ad2 and Ad5 penton bases (571 residues each) have among the longest variable RGD regions [4,43,44]. The RGD sequence, utilized for interaction w îth cellular av integrins [4,45], is lacking from the enteric Ad40 and Ad41 serotypes of subgroup F [46]. Presumably these tv^o serotypes don't interact with av integrins during viral cell entry. Site-directed mutagenesis of the Ad2 penton base has indicated particular residues that are important for various functions including pentamerization and stable fiber-penton base interaction [47]. While recombinantly expressed Ad2 penton base is knov^n to self-assemble into homo-pentamers, tw ô mutations in the N-terminal portion of penton base, R254E and W119 H, and several 1. Adenovirus Structure in the C-terminal region, W439 H, Y553F, and K556E, reduce or abolish pentamerization. Several mutations, C432S, W439 H, RRR(547-549)EQQ, and K556E, completely abolish the association of fiber with penton base. Other mutations throughout the penton base (W119 H, Wl 65 H, R245E, R340E, and W406H) reduce the penton base interaction with fiber. Screening with a filamentous phage-display library indicated that the Ad2 penton base sequence RLSNLLG, residues 254-260, is important for fiber binding [48]. One of these residues, R245E, was also identified by mutagenesis, but clearly residues throughout the penton base play a role in fiber association. Electron micrographs of negatively stained penton base, fiber, and the penton complex indicate that the isolated fiber is '^40 A longer than the fiber that extends from the penton base [29]. It is not clear whether or not the N-terminal end of the fiber inserts into a central cavity of the penton base or merely attaches to the outer surface. Cryo-EM reconstructions of the Ad3 penton dodecahedron both with and without the fiber reveal a subtle shift of the RGD protrusions outward by ^^15

A when the fiber is present, but no open hole in the fiberless complex [41]. A similar observation was made for an Ad5 vector both with and without the fiber [33]. These results indicate a subtle conformational change of the penton base during fiber binding and possible expansion of the penton base to allow insertion of the N-terminal end of the fiber. Numerous Ad serotypes are known to utilize the RGD residues for infection via interaction with cell surface av integrins [4,45]. The position of RGD on the penton base has been determined by a cryo-EM reconstruction of Ad2 complexed with Fab fragments of the DAV-1 monoclonal antibody [34]. Curiously, Fab fragments of DAV-1 are capable of neutralizing Ad2 infection, but the biologically relevant DAV-1 IgG molecules are not. MALDI mass spectroscopy identified the DAV-1 binding site as containing a linear epitope of nine residues including RGD [34]. The cryo-EM structure of the Ad2/DAV-1 complex localized the RGD residues to the top of five 22-A protrusions on the penton base. The observation of weak density at the top of the protrusions in the control uncomplexed Ad2 reconstruction, as well as the diffuse nature of the bound Fab density, indicated that the RGD residues are in a highly mobile surface loop [34]. Perhaps the mobility of the RGD loops, as well as their relatively close spacing around the central protruding fiber (Fig. 3, see color insert), contributes to the ability of the virus to evade antibody neutralization at this exposed receptor binding site [34]. The combined steric hindrance of the fiber and a few bulky IgG molecules bound to flexible epitopes effectively shields the remaining RGD sites from saturation by IgG, while the less bulky Fab fragments can bind to all five protrusions. Prior to complexing adenovirus with a soluble form of avp5 integrin, a comparison between the known penton base sequences indicated that Ad 12 has the conserved RGD residues within a much shorter variable region than 8 Phoebe L Stewart Ad2 [3]. Cryo-EM reconstructions of both Ad2 and Ad 12 complexed with avp5 revealed better defined integrin density in the Ad 12 reconstruction, sug­ gestive of a less mobile RGD loop for Adl2. A careful analysis of the penton base density in the control Ad2 and Ad 12 reconstructions also supported this idea w îth a smaller region of weak, diffuse density over the Ad 12 protrusions than the Ad2 protrusions (Fig. 4, see color insert). The spacing of the RGD protrusions on the penton base is thought to be important for the clustering of integrin molecules, thus triggering signaling events required for virus inter­ nalization [3]. Notably a monomeric RGD peptide (50-mer) derived from the penton base is unable to activate p72 Syk kinase or promote adhesion of B lymphoblastoid cells, two demonstrated functions of the pentameric penton base [49]. Structural support for the importance of the RGD spacing comes from the crystal structure of foot-and-mouth disease virus, which also utilizes av integrins for cell entry [50, 51]. The RGD loops of both the Ad penton base and foot-and-mouth disease virus have the same spacing, 60 A, around the fivefold symmetry axes despite these two viruses being structurally and evolutionarily unrelated [3]. C. Fiber, Polypeptide IV All human Ad serotypes have 12 fibers, one protruding from each penton base at the vertices of the icosahedral capsid. The length of the fiber protein varies from 320 to 587 residues and the sequence can be broken down into three segments: an N-terminal tail, a central shaft of variable length, and the C-terminal domain, which forms the distal knob of the fiber [31]. Biopanning of a phage-library peptide library has shown that the conserved N-terminal motif (FNPVYP, residues 11-16 in Ad2) interacts with the penton base [48]. The knob of most, but not all, serotypes [52] has a high affinity for the cellular receptor known as Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) [53, 54]. Although a single fiber gene is the norm, Ad40 and Ad41 have two fiber genes of different length[31,55]. Perhaps the expression of two different fibers enables the virus to interact with a wider array of cell receptors as the knobs are quite different [55] and only one fiber type binds CAR [11]. Although there are two fiber genes in Ad40 and Ad41, only one fiber is found per penton. Notably, avian adenoviruses have two fibers per penton and they may have evolved distinct cell-entry strategies [56-58]. The first atomic resolution information for the fiber was a crystal structure of the Ad5 knob domain (residues 386-581 of the intact fiber protein) [7, 8]. The structure revealed a trimer with an eight-stranded antiparallel p-sandwich in each monomer (Fig. 5). More recently, crystal structures have been published of the Ad2 knob [9], and the Ad 12 knob both alone and complexed with the Dl domain of CAR [11]. The main differences between the knob structures are found in the N-terminal region and the loops. The Adl2 knob/CAR-Dl 1 .

The trimeric molecule is shown with one monomer in black and two in gray. (A) A side view oriented to show the eight-stranded p sandwich in the knob domain of the black monomer and four repeats of the triple p-spiral fold in the shaft. (B) A top view looking along the molecular threefold axis in the direction of the virus. This figure was generated with the program MOLSCRIPT[91]. complex reveals that the CAR binding site is on the side of the knob and involves primarily the AB-loop [11]. Two models, both high in ^-strand content, were predicted for the fiber shaft [30, 59] before a crystal structure was published for a portion of the Ad2 shaft in 1999 [10]. The structure shows a novel triple ^-spiral motif (Fig. 5) that is different from either model in that the P-strands lie more along the fiber axis. The hydrogen bonding pattern observed in the structure suggests that 1 0 Phoebe L. Stewart the basic repeating structural motif should be redefined. Also a linker region was observed between the shaft and the knob, indicating that Ad2 has only 21 repeats, as opposed to 22 suggested by the earlier sequence analysis [30]. As noted in section III, fiber shafts of various serotypes appear by both negative stain electron microscopy [29] and cryo-EM [24] to be bent near the N-terminus, presumably in the region of the third fiber shaft repeat [31]. Some of the fibers with short shafts may, however, be relatively straight. The cryo- EM reconstruction of the Ad3 penton dodecahedron showed the full-length straight fiber including the knob extending 136 A from the penton base [41]. D. Polypeptide Ilia Polypeptide Ilia plays an important role in the assembly of adenovirus, as a temperature-sensitive mutation in polypeptide Ilia produces only empty capsids [60]. The full-length polypeptide Ilia, prior to proteolytic cleavage, is 585 residues for Ad2 [43]. A protease cleavage site was predicted after residue 570 [18] and the MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopic analysis of Ad5 confirms that this cleavage does occur [23]. According to both the SDS-PAGE analysis [20, 21] and the RP-HPLC analysis [23] there are approximately 60 copies of polypeptide Ilia in one adenovirus virion. The position of polypeptide Ilia within the capsid has been tentatively assigned in a cryo-EM difference map [61]. The difference map was generated by positioning 240 copies of the crystallographic Ad2 hexon [5] within the cryo-EM reconstruction of Ad2 [24] and then subtracting the hexon density. The hexon positions in the calculated capsid, published in [21], were optimized for their agreement with the cryo-EM reconstruction rather than for optimum contacts between hexons and as such represent only a crude pseudoatomic model for the hexon portion of the capsid. Approximately 65% of the density assigned to polypeptide Ilia was observed on the external surface of the capsid and the other 35% on the inner surface [21,61]. Contradictory biochemical information indicated that polypeptide Ilia is exposed on both the inner and outer capsid surfaces and thus it had been suggested that this protein might span the capsid [62]. The external density assigned to polypeptide Ilia is clearly visible without difference mapping in the recent 17-A resolution of Ad2 [32] (Fig. 6, see color insert). Two elongated density regions are observed along each of the 30 edges of the icosahedral capsid. E. Polypeptide VI The full-length precursor form of the Ad2 polypeptide VI has 250 residues [63], but 33 residues are cleaved by the protease from the N-terminus and 11 residues from the C-terminus [18, 23], Interestingly the cleaved C- terminal peptide functions as a cofactor for the protease [64, 65]. Analysis of 1. Adenovirus Structure 1 1 the Ad2 cryo-EM difference map led to an assignment for polypeptide VI on the inner capsid surface [61]. Trimeric density regions were observed spanning the bottoms of the five hexons around each penton, often called the peripentonal hexons on the basis of their location in the capsid. The assigned positions are indicated on the outer surface of the 17 A Ad2 reconstruction [32] (Fig. 7, see color insert). In order to account for ^360 copies of polypeptide VI in the virion [20, 21, 23], each trimeric density region w âs suggested to be a trimer of dimers [61]. In other v^ords, six copies of polypeptide VI might form each observed trimeric density region. Five trimeric regions found in one vertex w^ould contain 30 copies of polypeptide VI, and all 12 vertices w^ould have a total of 360 copies. The observed volume of one trimeric region is too lov^ to account for six copies of polypeptide VI, but a large portion of the protein may be loosely ordered and interacting w îth the viral core. It has been know^n for some time that polypeptide VI can bind nonspecifically to DNA [66] and thus the proposed location on the inner capsid surface seems logical. F. Polypeptide VIII The sequence of polypeptide VIII in both Ad2 [67, 68] and Ad5 [44] indicates an uncleaved precursor molecule of 227 amino acid residues. Protease cleavage sites are predicted for molecules of both serotypes follow^ing Gly- 111, v^hich implies a much smaller mature protein [18]. MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy confirms this cleavage site for Ad5 and also indicates a second cleavage site after Ala-15 7, as the fragment from Gly-158 through the C- terminus is found in the virion [23]. Polypeptide VIII is present in roughly 127 copies per virion [20, 21], but little is knov^n about its structure or its position v^ithin the virion other than the general observation that it is associated v^ith hexons [69]. G. Polypeptide IX Polypeptide IX is thought to help stabilize adenovirus as mutant virions lacking this protein are less stable than vŝ ild type [70]. In Ad2, polypeptide IX is 140 residues [71] and it is not cleaved by the viral protease. This capsid component can be isolated from both intact virions and from the viral dissociation product known as the group-of-nine hexons [69]. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) analysis of the group-of-nine hexons indicated that there are 12 copies of polypeptide IX arranged as four trimers within this capsid fragment [72]. The Ad2 cryo-EM difference map confirmed this arrangement and showed that polypeptide IX is on the outer surface of the capsid [61]. The locations of the polypeptide IX trimers are indicated on the 17-A resolution Ad2 cryo-EM reconstruction [32] (Fig. 8, see color insert). The copy number for polypeptide IX has been measured as approximately 1 2 Phoebe L Stewart 240 [20, 21, 23] and this is consistent with four trimers in each of the 20 triangular facets of the icosahedral capsid. V. Core Structure The first cryo-EM reconstruction of Ad2 showed that the DNA/protein core does not follow icosahedral symmetry throughout, although the outer sur­ face of the core does interact with the capsid and may be partially ordered [24]. There is presently no atomic structure known for any of the core proteins (V, VII, mu, and terminal protein). Ad2 was the first serotype to be completely sequenced and its DNA genome has 35,937 base pairs [43]. The two 5̂ ends of the DNA genome are covalently linked to the terminal protein [73]

via Ser-562 [74]. Terminal protein (488 residues in Ad2) is the proteolytically cleaved form of the preterminal protein (653 amino acids in Ad2) [74-76]. It has been proposed that the terminal protein-DNA complex, present in the mature virion, serves as a template for early transcription and the first round of DNA replication, while the preterminal protein-DNA complex formed after DNA replication serves only for subsequent rounds of DNA replication [77]. In the Ad core the terminal protein-DNA complex is associated with ^^160 copies of polypeptide V [20, 23], ^633 copies of polypeptide VII [23], and -^104 copies of late L2 mu, also known as polypeptide X [78]. Little is known about polypeptide V (369 amino acids in Ad2) [79]other than the fact that it is moderately basic [69]. The polypeptide VII precursor (198 amino acids in Ad2) [44]and mu precursor (79 amino acids in Ad2) [80]are both cleaved by the viral protease. Of the three core proteins that are noncovalently linked to the viral DNA, polypeptide VII is most tightly bound [81] and it is sometimes referred to as the major core protein since it contributes the most protein mass to the core. VI . Adenovirus Protease The adenovirus protease plays a role in maturation of the virus, cleaving six virion precursors (Ilia, VI, VII, VIII, mu, and terminal protein) [18]. Analysis of the temperature-sensitive mutant virion, ts 1 [82], indicates that the protease also plays a role during Ad cell entry [83, 84]. The observation that the cleavage products of polypeptides VI, VII, VIII, and mu are present in the mature Ad5 virion [23] is consistent with the idea that the adenovirus protease is incorporated inside of the viral capsid and that peptide cleavage takes place either on the inner surface of the capsid or in the core of the virion [18]. The cleaved C-terminal tail of polypeptide VI serves as a cofactor for the protease [64, 65] increasing its catalytic rate constant (^cat) by 300- fold [85]. It has also been reported that viral DNA is a cofactor [64, 85] 1. Adenovirus Structure 1 3 Figure 9 The crystallographic structure of the Ad2 protease (gray) with its 11 -amino-acid cofac- tor (black), a proteolytic cleavage product of polypeptide VI [12] (PDB ID: 1AVP[90]). Note that the cofactor extends a p-sheet in the enzyme. This figure was generated with the program MOLSCRIPT[91]. although this is disputed in the Uterature. Other studies suggest that DNA may not be necessary for catalysis, but rather might enhance the interaction of protease and substrates in vivo [86]. Either way, the apoenzyme is relatively inactive and thus the cofactor(s) may help to control the activity of the enzyme so that the virion proteins are cleaved at the appropriate time during the viral life cycle. A crystal structure has been determined for the protease of Ad2 (204 amino acids) complexed vv̂ ith its 11-amino-acid cofactor (Fig. 9) [12]. The structure reveals that the peptide cofactor becomes the sixth p-strand in a P-sheet and forms a disulfide bond and numerous hydrogen bonds with the protease. The hydrophobic pockets observed in the structure help to explain the known consensus sequences for cleavage, which are (M,L,I)XGX/G or (M,L,I)XGG/X where X is any residues and "/" indicates the cleavage site [87, 88]. The active site contains a Cys-His-Glu triplet and an oxyanion hole similar to papain and the Ad protease probably has a similar catalytic mechanism to papain. However, the fold as well as the order of the catalytic residues in the sequence is different in the two enzymes. The Ad protease is considered to be the first member of a fifth group of cysteine proteases [12]. VII. Summary Adenovirus is a complex human virus whose structure still holds many mysteries. The synthesis of results from a diverse array of experimental tech­ niques has led to our current level of understanding. MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy [23] has confirmed the predicted protease cleavage sites [18] of 1 4 Phoebe L. Stewart several structural proteins. The use of phage-display libraries has pinpointed the residues involved in the interaction betv^een penton base and fiber [48], w^hich w âs first observed by negative stain electron microscopy [2]. X-ray crys­ tallography [6] and sequence analysis [36] together reveal the hypervariable regions of hexon at the top of the molecule w^here the most variation is toler­ ated. The early biochemical characterization of the component molecules [69] was advantageous for interpreting the first cryo-EM reconstruction [24] and difference map [61]. Identification of the CAR receptor [53, 54] and the crys­ tal structure of a fiber knob complexed with one domain of CAR [11] have advanced our understanding of cell attachment. The finding that av integrins are utilized as internalization receptors by many serotypes [89] led to the observations by cryo-EM that the penton base ROD protrusions are located appropriately to both evade antibody neutralization [34] and facilitate receptor clustering [3]. Clearly the more we learn about adenovirus structure, assembly, and cell entry, the better our position will be for designing the adenoviral vectors of the future.
