Discussion

Sue Davis Jun 10, 2023:
according to my ref it is indeed the bottom, the base of the lung, not just the lower part
Daryo Jun 8, 2023:
"région déclive" is an anatomical position given in relation to Earth's gravity.

In standing position it would be the feet, if hanging upside down, it would be the top of the head.

So "région déclive" would be "the lower part / the bottom part" of the whole body or of an organe - most literally "lower" in relation to gravity ***at the time of imaging***.

declivous (pulmonary) area; lower part

The Lepine medical dictionary gives 'declivous, inclined, sloping'.

However, the only examples of 'declivous' I find on the Ouèbbhe in relation to the lungs (and there are quite a few) are in English-language articles written by Italians. ...

I strongly suspect it is simply the 'lower part' of the lung (irrespective of whether the patiient is in the Trendelenburg position or not).

Récessus costo-diaphragmatique inferieur : C’est le point déclive de la plèvre.

The costodiaphragmatic recess is the lowest extent of the pleural sac, and so it is where any pleural effusion will collect in an upright patient.

See also 'lower lung field'.

agree Daryo : ONLY "lower part(s)" / curiously there is no specific term in English, all that can be found is the descriptive "lower part"

base of the lung

https://www.infirmiers.com/forum/rapport-ventilation-perfusi...

En premier lieu, il faut définir ce dont on parle. Quand on parle de bases, il s'agit de la base du poumon quand le sujet est debout. Si le sujet est allongé, on parle de zones déclives.

Each lung has a base resting on the diaphragm and an apex extending superiorly to a point approximately 2.5 cm superior to the clavicle[2]. It also has a medial surface and with three borders- anterior, posterior and inferior

the base of the lung has various slopes, e.g. medial-lateral into the costophrenic recess

dependent region(s)

That part of the lung which is lowest, depending on body position. In supine position, the dorsal parts of the lungs are "dependent", in standing position the caudal parts, etc.

"In large mammals such as humans, there is a gravity-induced gradient that causes the volume of alveoli in dependent lung regions (i.e., the lowest areas in the lungs) to be smaller than those in non-dependent lung regions. During normal tidal breathing, dependent regions may have somewhat increased ventilation relative to non-dependent regions."

agree Daryo : IOW where fluids flow by gravity **in the current position of the body** it's not an anatomical position relative to rest of the body but to Earth's gravity // no gravity = no "régions déclives" like in space
4 hrs
neutral Sue Davis : but in that case why would it be the bottom of the lung? In the horizontal position all regions of the lung would drain downwards

Étymologie
Du latin declivis, composé de de et de clivus (« pente »).
Adjectif

déclive de.kliv masculin et féminin identiques

(Rare) Qui va en pente ; qui est incliné.
...
On parvenait chez l’accusateur public au moyen d’un passage obscur et déclive. — (G. Lenotre, Vieilles maisons, vieux papiers, deuxième série, Portraits de femmes, II: Madame Fouquier-Tinville ; Librairie académique Didier Perrin et Cie, Paris, 1904, page 267.)

..
(Médecine) Se dit du point le plus bas du corps, d'une partie du corps, d'un organe mais aussi de la partie la plus basse d'une plaie.

Si l'agonie n'a pas été longue, la portion des poumons qui était la plus déclive **au moment du refroidissement** du cadavre, sera engorgée ; [...]. — (François Jean Matthyssens, Précis élémentaire de médecine légale , Éd. Vve Heirstraeten, Anvers 1837)

in the absence of gravity anatomical terms would still be the same, except for prone/supine and "régions déclives".

-Les lividités cadavériques :
Elles correspondent à des transsudations de sang à travers les vaisseaux selon des phénomènes passifs entrainés par la pesanteur.
Elles deviennent perceptibles ( à partir de la 5ième heures après le décès et deviennent immuable à partir de la 18ième heures après la décès) au niveau des régions déclives du corps. Elles sont absentes aux points de pression appliquées sur le corps .
