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...

Pelvic fractures do not occur frequently in horses, and reports of incidence range from 0.9% to 4.4%. Despite this low incidence, many equine practitioners will, at some point in time, be faced with determining a diagnosis, a prognosis, or formulating a treatment regimen based on their impressions of fracture severity. Because the equine pelvis is a complex anatomic structure, the diagnosis of ...

Obturator Foramen is a specific structure in Pelvic bone images and recognition of it is a new concept in medical image processing. Moreover, segmentation of bone structures such as Obturator Foramen plays an essential role for clinical research in orthopedics. In this paper, we present a novel method to analyze the similarity between the substructures of the imaged region and a hand drawn temp...

we encountered a 55-year-old man, who presented with an orifice in the suprapubic region, through which fecal material was discharged. on physical examination, the patient was unstable. after resuscitation, thorough evaluation, and laboratory and imaging investigations, he underwent an exploratory laparotomy. the ileum was entrapped at the deep inguinal ring, and there was some pus in the pelvi...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of sacral sitting in a wheelchair on contact pressure on the buttocks and back, and shear force on the ischial region. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-six healthy adults assumed two postures while seated in a wheelchair: a basic sitting posture, and sacral sitting with the pelvis tilted posteriorly and the ischium slid forward b...

BACKGROUND Treatment of unstable pelvic fractures in children is a serious surgical problem. Despite similarities between the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of pelvic fractures in children and adults, this article attempts to demonstrate age-specific differences in patient management. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a group of 46 children with pelvic fractures hospitalized in the years 2001-20...

Elevated body mass index has been identified as a potential risk factor for complications in operatively treated pelvic trauma. Although obesity is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality following high-energy blunt force trauma, there is little information on the immediate complications following isolated pelvic and acetabular fractures in obese patients with trauma. The authors...

INTRODUCTION Evidence suggests that painful intercourse, pain-related psychosocial factors, and altered pain processing magnify the pain experience, but it is not clear how these factors are related to each other. AIM The aims were to (i) characterize differences between women with pelvic pain and pain-free women using a battery of pain-related psychosocial measures, clinical pain ratings, an...
