conclusions the application of dn produces an improvement in ilf and clf can be prescribed for subjects with mtp in ut muscles. results statistical analysis (paired t-test) revealed significant increase in neck lateral flexion range of motion in contra-lateral side after treatment sessions in control and experimental group compared with pre-treatment score (p < 0.05). however, only dry needling...

The surface electromyographic (EMG) signal from right and left trapezius muscles and the heart rate were recorded over 24 h in 27 healthy female subjects. The root-mean-square (RMS) value of the surface EMG signals and the heartbeat interval time series were calculated with a time resolution of 0.2 s. The EMG activity during sleep showed long periods with stable mean amplitude, modulated by rhy...

Traumatic axillary nerve injury represents less than 1% of all nerve injuries.It is often subclinical because it is masked by the pain due to a shoulder fracture or dislocation, so that treatment is neglected for a long period. When nerve repair and physiotherapy are unsuccessful, trapezius tendon transfer may be considered. Between March 2008 and May 2009, 10 patients with neglected deltoid pa...

BACKGROUND Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common non-articular musculoskeletal disorder. It is characterized by local and referred pain due to the presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). MTrPs most commonly involve the upper trapezius muscle and can be visualized using ultrasound imaging. This study was designed to determine the inter-rater reliability of some new ultrasonographic i...

BACKGROUND Nonspecific neck pain can cause considerable suffering, possible disability and reductions in quality of life and productivity. The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the immediate effect of acupuncture on pain, cervical range of motion and electromyographic activity of the upper trapezius muscle in patients with nonspecific neck pain. METHODS/DESIGN A total of 12 patients wi...

A dog with a large prostatic abscess in the pelvic cavity was treated total prostatectomy. The prostate continuous abscess. abscess, which had adhered to surrounding tissue cavity, carefully detached. caudal part of urethra preserved. Postoperative urinary incontinence mild and gradually improved. Two years after surgery, normal urination possible, not recurred. Total prostatectomy, is consider...

In an experimental study four levels of oculomotor load were induced binocularly. Trapezius muscle activity was measured with bipolar surface electromyography and normalized to a submaximal contraction. Twenty-eight subjects with a mean age of 29 (range 19-42, std 8) viewed a high-contrast fixation target for four 5-min periods through: (i) -3.5 dioptre (D) lenses; (ii) 0 D lenses; (iii) indivi...

Background: Different research techniques indicate alterations in muscle tissue and in neuromuscular control of aching muscles in patients with chronic localized pain. Ultrasound can be used for analysis of muscle tissue dynamics in clinical practice. Aim: This study introduces a new muscle tissue sensitive ultrasound technique in order to provide a new methodology for providing a description o...

background the incidence of prostatic abscess (pa) has markedly declined with the widespread use of antibiotics and the decreasing incidence of urethral gonococcal infections. objectives to evaluate different treatment methods for prostatic abscess and to describe technical points that will improve the outcome of transurethral (tur) drainage of prostatic abscess. patients and methods we perform...

three-year-old boy came to emergency room of soraya medical center with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and distended abdomen for a period of three days. x-ray showed fluid in the peritoneal cavity and at pleural space, mild elevation of the hemi diaphragm, and thick left diaphragm. surgery showed sub diaphragmatic abscess under in the hemi diaphragm and peritonitis. the autopsy showed several...
