Pressure ulcers classified as Stage IV (according to National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel staging guidelines) [1] take a long time to heal, and may cause serious infections, such as osteomyelitis and sepsis [2-5]. Thus, they usually require surgical repair using a muscle or fasciocutaneous flap (according to International Guidelines). Treatment of Pressure Ulcers: Quick Reference Guide) Glute...

Deep gluteal syndrome describes the presence of pain in the buttock caused from non-discogenic and extrapelvic entrapment of the sciatic nerve. Several structures can be involved in sciatic nerve entrapment within the gluteal space. A comprehensive history and physical examination can orientate the specific site where the sciatic nerve is entrapped, as well as several radiological signs that su...

[Purpose] This study investigated temporal changes in trunk flexion angle and gluteal pressure during computer work with continuous sitting. [Subjects and Methods] This study involved 10 males subjects aged 21-29 years. During 30 min of data collection with a Tekscan system and a video camera, peak gluteal pressure and changes in trunk flexion angle were analyzed with the COMFOM at research 6.2...

The author analyzes the aesthetics of gluteal contouring, combining the contributions of other experts with his unique classification system that divides the gluteal region into 8 distinct aesthetic units. He advises that careful anatomic analysis and surgical technique, as well as communication with patients to determine their aesthetic preferences, are essential to positive outcomes.

IntroductIon: Many studies of gluteal augmentation techniques have been published in recent decades, including case reports, retrospective and prospective case series, and multicenter survey reviews. However, to date, there has been no study of the overall complications or satisfaction rates associated with the wide spectrum of techniques. This comprehensive literature review aims to determine ...

We used data from a breast cancer pilot study carried out in Kerala, India in 1997, for which organochlorine levels were measured in three biological media, blood serum, breast adipose tissue, and gluteal adipose tissue, of 37 fasting breast cancer cases (pretreatment). Our objective was to investigate the relationships between organochlorine concentrations in different biological media. Gas-li...

CONTEXT Components of gluteal neuromuscular function, such as strength and corticospinal excitability, could potentially influence alterations in lower extremity biomechanics during jump landing. OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between gluteal muscle strength, gluteal corticospinal excitability, and jump-landing biomechanics in healthy women. SETTING University laboratory. DESIGN ...

 Abstract We report a case of paint thinner intoxication by inhalation, with rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, skin lesions and severe sciatic nerve lesion at gluteal region.
