Pain originating in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is one of potential causes axial low back pain. A quarter pain cases can be associated with SIJ damage. The review presents and current clinical data dysfunction, describes specific (provocation) tests used to detect syndrome. Diagnostic their effectiveness for differential diagnosis are described. methods instrumental diagnostics, conservative tre...

We introduce a concept of similarity between vertices of directed graphs. Let GA and GB be two directed graphs with, respectively, nA and nB vertices. We define an nB ×nA similarity matrix S whose real entry sij expresses how similar vertex j (in GA) is to vertex i (in GB): we say that sij is their similarity score. The similarity matrix can be obtained as the limit of the normalized even itera...

Abstract. We introduce a concept of similarity between vertices of directed graphs. Let GA and GB be two directed graphs with respectively nA and nB vertices. We define a nA × nB similarity matrix S whose real entry sij expresses how similar vertex i (in GA) is to vertex j (in GB) : we say that sij is their similarity score. In the special case where GA = GB = G, the score sij is the similarity...

The objective of the study was to evaluate sex differences in the pattern of innominate motion about the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) during hip movement. Although the magnitude of intrinsic SIJ motion is influenced by joint congruence and ligament elasticity sex differences in pelvic joint kinematics are under-investigated. Forty healthy and active males and females between the ages of 18 and 35 wer...

OBJECTIVES Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) injections have been used to provide short-term relief of SIJ pain. In this study, the authors investigated a new technique using a superior approach. METHODS Twenty four patients with chronic SI joint paint were recruited. Each patient was treated with a single SIJ intra-articular injection plus a periarticular injection of local anesthetic and corticosteroi...

This research aimed to evaluate the viability, survivability, and release process of encapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum SU-LS36 in simulated gastric juice (SGJ), intestinal (SIJ), colon (SCJ). We tested four types encapsulations: native taro starch (NTS), modified (MTS) by heat moisture treatment (HMT), autoclaving-cooling-2 cycles (AC-2C), maltodextrin (commercial encapsulant). found that L....

The accessory sacroiliac joint (ASIJ) is a known anatomic variant that has been recognized since the early 1900’s. It is a false joint remote and dorsal to the true synovial portion of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ). The sacral and iliac components are closely approximated with well-defined and corticated joint margins as well as a distinct joint space. The etiology of the ASIJ remains unclear. It ...
