Reinnervation of the rat levator ani muscle after neonatal denervation.
After axonal injury on postnatal day 14 (P14), but not P21, motoneurons in the spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB) do not display their normal response to circulating testosterone levels. This could result from a permanent disruption of communication between motoneurons and their testosterone-sensitive target muscles. We assessed the extent of reinnervation of one of these target muscle...
متن کاملStatistical Shape Modelling of the Levator Ani
Abstract. Defective pelvic organ support due to injuries of the levator ani is a common problem in women and its intervention requires a thorough understanding of the structure. Three-dimensional surfaces of the levator ani have proved to be a promising method of studying this. In this paper, we propose to build a statistical shape model (SSM) of the levator ani and describe a segmentation tech...
متن کاملThe regeneration of a hormone-sensitive muscle (levator ani) in the rat.
In l-month-old male rats the levator ani muscle was crushed and allowed to regenerate. The main questions were whether or not the course of regeneration is similar to that of limb muscles and whether or not the regenerating levator ani muscle is sensitive to the effects of testosterone. Regeneration was followed in three groups of rats: castrated, normal, and testosterone-treated. Histological ...
متن کاملIs the Puborectalis Muscle Part of the Levator Ani Muscle?
1 on the anatomy of the levator ani, and especially the puborectalis muscle by use of MRI and CT. The authors state that the levator ani has a transverse portion and a vertical portion and that the puborectalis muscle is a u-shaped muscle outside the vertical portion. Based on those findings, the authors conclude that the puborectalis is not a part of the levator ani muscle. The concept that th...
متن کاملLevator Ani Syndrome: a Case Study
Background and Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to describe the physiotherapy management of a patient with overactivity of the pelvic-floor muscles with a limited number of visits and a focus on selfmanagement strategies. Electrogalvanic stimulation (EGS) has been established as a safe and effective treatment for the management of levator ani syndrome (LAS). There is a paucity of rec...
