RESUMEN
The work describes the origen, branching and distribution of aortic branches, during the development of the armadillho, experimental model in the studt of human leprosy. Using contrast injection, the branches of the subclavial, common carotid and omocervical aa. were identified as to its cooperation in irrigation of the ventral, lateral, dorsal, costal cervicals regions, encephalic and the thyroid gland

OBJECTIVE: To determine factors of outcome following surgical intervention for neurologic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS). METHODS: In a retrospective study of patients surgically treated for NTOS, outcome was evaluated by postoperative symptoms and the ability of patients to return to work. RESULTS: Good, fair, and poor results were obtained in 26 (48%), 21 (39%), and 7 (13%) patients, respectively. The best predictor of a good outcome was occupation. Nonlaborers were more likely to have good outcome (21 of 32, 66%) when compared with laborers (5 of 22, 23%; P = 0.0025). Only 6 of 20 (30%) laborers were able to return to their original occupation compared with 17 of 26 (65%) nonlaborers (P = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS: Laborers with NTOS are less likely to have a good result from surgical intervention, are unlikely to return to their original occupation, and may require retraining for a non-labor-intensive occupation if they cannot return to their original work.
