BACKGROUND Pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain is common. More than 30% of women have persistent pain 3 months after giving birth. There is no consensus regarding the pathology. However, coordination of muscle activity by appropriate timing and amplitude is necessary for maintaining adequate stability in the lumbopelvic area. The aim was to develop a method using surface electromyography to dete...

33 Normal bowel continence is a complex process that involves the coordinated interaction between multiple different neuronal pathways and the pelvic and perineal musculature.1 The importance of the anatomic relationships of the pelvic floor in maintaining normal continence has been suggested since the 1950s.2 Yet the complex series of neural and behavioral-mediated interactions, combined with ...

adult ureteroceles are generally known as simple ureteroceles with minimal obstructive effects 1 that can usually be managed endoscopically. such pathology presented with acute abdominal pain and fever in a 32-year-old man with left renal agenesia, a cranial blind left ureter and left obstructed ureterocele. the retained secretions were suppurative.

objective: to compare the efficacy of ceftriaxone plus ofloxacin or azithromycin for cases of pelvic inflammatory disease (pid). materials and methods:   this clinical terial was performed on 180 women with pid from march 2005 to march 2007 in parastarane-shahed hospital. patients with pid were randomly divided to receive injection of ceftriaxone 250 mg plus ofloxacin 200 mg per day or azithrom...

background: the prevalence of hip dysplasia is 1 in 1000. several pelvic osteotomy methods have been developed to prevent early osteoarthritis, such as triple osteotomy. in this study we are going to introduce our new technique that was done on 4 patients with favorable short-term results.   methods: four patients underwent triple osteotomy and fixation using a reconstruction plate and early we...

introduction: significant perineal injuries and major pelvic fractures resulting from blunt trauma manifest a high-energy injury. open pelvic fractures (with perineal injury) are associated with higher mortality rates of 40 to 60 %. methods: this study was a review of patients with multiple traumas comprising of major pelvic fracture and severe perineal injuries (shahid kamyab hospital in mashh...

background: about 70% of all pregnant women suffer from pelvic girdle pain (pgp)and/or low and high back pain(lbp,hbp). the risk factors for developing pelvic girdle pain and back pain in general are history of previous low back pain or pelvic or pain in previous pregnancy. in order to study the relative frequency of different kinds of backache in pregnancy and possible risk factors for develop...

Proximal femoral nails with a helical blade are a new generation of implants used for treating transtrochanteric fractures. The blade design provides rotational and angular stability for the fracture. Despite greater biomechanical resistance, they sometimes present complications. In the literature, there are some reports of cases of perforation of the femoral head caused by helical blades. Here...
