INTRODUCTION In open book injuries type Tile B1.1 or B1.2 also classified as APC II (anteroposterior compression), it remains controversial, if a fixation of the anterior ring provides sufficient stability or a fixation of the posterior ring should be included. Therefore the relative motion at the sacroiliac joint was quantified in a two-leg alternating load biomechanical pelvis model in the in...

The movement of the chest during breathing has been recorded in normal and asthmatic subjects by means of electronic transducers which measured changes in anteroposterior and lateral diameters. Preliminary studies showed that exercise-induced bronchoconstriction caused distortion of the movement of the diameters in relation to each other and to volume change recorded at the mouth. Because of th...

Knowledge of the average size and variability of the human spinal cord can be of importance when treating pathological conditions in the spinal cord. Data on healthy human spinal cord morphometrics have been published for more than a century using different techniques of measurements, but unfortunately, comparison of results from different studies is difficult because of the different anatomica...

AIM Definitive surgery of ectopic ureter in infants is challenging. We propose an endoscopic urinary diversion (EUD) as a novel surgical technique in the initial management of symptomatic obstructive ectopic ureter. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixteen obstructive ectopic ureters (14 patients) were initially treated by EUD between 2006 and 2015. All patients had urinary tract dilatation worsening at ...

BACKGROUND The optimal surgical procedures in functional mitral regurgitation remain controversial. We applied papillary muscle imbrication (PMI) combined with undersized mitral annuloplasty (UMAP). Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides images of different phases of the cardiac cycle, allowing an assessment of the geometry. In the present study, we evaluated the mitral valve configu...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ultrasonographic findings associated with posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) syndrome. METHODS Approval from the Institutional Review Board was obtained. A retrospective review of 908 patients' sonographic images of the upper extremity from January 2001 to October 2010 revealed 10 patients suspicious for a PIN abnormality (7 male and 3 fem...

OBJECTIVE To define the appearance of the uterus and the uterine cavity, as revealed by ultrasound in normal women following a vaginal delivery. METHODS This prospective, longitudinal study took place at the Prince Hashem and Prince Ali Military Hospitals, Amman, Jordan from December 2002 to March 2003. Fifty-four women were scanned on postpartum days 1, 7, 14, 28, and 56. Ultrasound examinat...

Objective: To compare gender difference on renal pelvic size and urinary bladder volume (BV) in normal male and female fetuses at 37 weeks of gestational age (GA) using ultrasound. Methods: 414 normal singleton pregnancies of 37 weeks GA were included. In each fetus, antero-posterior (AP) diameter of the renal pelvis and BV was measured. Results: Male fetuses were found to have greater AP diame...

conclusions the outside diameter/inside diameter ratio at the metaphyseal/diaphyseal junction of the distal radius on ap radiographs is suitable for use as a predictor of distal-radius bone density. further studies should be performed, and clinical utility evaluated. results the mean bmd was 0.559 (sd = 0.236) g / cm2. the mean outside diameter/inside diameter ratio was 1.24 (sd = 0.013); the r...
