A crossbred (Sindhi x local indigenous) calf that was 12 days old was admitted to the Teaching Veterinary Hospital, Chittagong Government Veterinary College, Bangladesh, with two accessory hind limbs attached to the pelvic region in between the hind legs. This was clinically identified as a congenital anomaly popularly called pygomelia. The pygomelia was successfully corrected by surgical excis...

A 45-year-old patient reported for a follow-up visit after a motor vehicle accident with a history of vague right flank pain. He underwent a pelvic radiograph which revealed a long bony protuberance arising from the right sacral region; the appearance was consistent with a sacral rib. However due to the limited nature of his complaints the patient denied any surgical treatment.

Various forms of trophoblastic diseases were reported in the literature, including complete and partial hydatidiform moles, gestational choriocarcinomas, placental-site epitheloid tumors. Among patients who suffer from mole, neoplasia can be easily diagnosed by using levels human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Therefore, complex investigations are not usually necessary measuring hCG, physical ex...

Calcified broad ligament leiomyoma is a rare benign lesion in postmenopausal age group. It causes diagnostic confusion with solid calcified adnexal mass and large bladder calculi at the pelvic region. Clinical and radiological diagnoses were confirmed by histopathology of the hysterectomy specimen. We hereby present a case of heavily calcified broad ligament fibroid in a postmenopausal woman.

This study evaluated the effect of specific postural support on motor behaviour of infants with and without minor neurological dysfunction (MND). The following questions were addressed: (1) Does application of supportive pillows affect the time during which the infant exhibits general movements (GMs) or specific movements? We defined specific movements as movements of specific parts of the body...

Our understanding of the evolution of frog locomotion follows from the work of Emerson in which anurans are proposed to possess one of three different iliosacral configurations: 1) a lateral-bending system found in walking and hopping frogs; 2) a fore-aft sliding mechanism found in several locomotor modes; and 3) a sagittal-hinge-type pelvis posited to be related to long-distance jumping perfor...

There is considerable controversy concerning the role of cadaveric dissection in teaching gross anatomy and the potential of using 3D computer-generated images to substitute for actual laboratory dissections. There are currently few high-quality 3D virtual models of anatomy available to evaluate the utility of computer-generated images. Existing 3D models are frequently of structures that are e...

background the present data show a global increase in the rate of cardiovascular disease. cardiac ct angiography has developed as a fast and non-invasive cardiac imaging modality following the introduction of multi-slice computed tomogaraphy. conclusions the total mean radiation dose to the thyroid and gonads was 0.36 msv, and 96.5 μsv, respectively for the subjects. these values were high for ...

background: in radiation therapy, peripheral dose or the dose outside the radiotherapy field, is important when anatomical structures with very low dose tolerances are involved. one of these critical organs in pelvic irradiation is testis. the amount of radiation delivered to the testes in radiotherapy must be kept as small as possible, consistent with the limit dose of this organ. the threshol...
