introduction bladder diverticulum is a result of bladder mucosa and submucosa herniation through the muscularis propria of bladder wall. bladder diverticula are mostly seen in the elderly men in association with benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph). case presentation a 74-year-old man presented with complaints of vague epigastric discomfort, dyspepsia, and mild lower urinary tract symptoms. an ul...

Serial measurements of left ventricular posterior wall movement were made in eight patients with acute myocardial infarction by an ultrasound technique. Maximum posterior wall velocity and excursion were decreased during the first 36-hour period after infarction. In two patients a reduction in posterior wall velocity was associated with an increased pulmonary artery pressure and as the pressure...

OBJECTIVE Removing the posterior canal wall or canal wall down mastoidectomy (CWDM) for the management of cholesteatoma remains controversial. We advocate partial removal of the posterior canal wall for complete eradication, followed by canal wall defect reconstruction to restore the normal anatomy and avoid the complications of CWDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four patients with cholesteato...

The typical injury pattern of a posterior hip dislocation includes posterior wall fracture, capsular injury, and muscular strain. This report presents an example of a posterior wall acetabulum fracture-dislocation associated with complete hip abductor tendon and capsular avulsion from the femur. The patient was found to have an unstable hip despite a small posterior wall fragment due to the ext...

Objective—To determine preoperatively, by analysing asynchronous left ventricular wall motion, whether to approach through the right ventricle or the left ventricle when carrying out catheter ablation of the accessory pathway in WolVParkinson-White syndrome, especially in patients with the pathway located on the septum. Methods—73 patients with manifest WolV-Parkinson-White syndrome who underwe...

Variations of the muscles of humans are important to remember for those who interpret imaging and for those who operate near these anomalies. Herein, we describe a rare two-headed psoas minor muscle found incidentally during dissection of the posterior abdominal wall. This case is presented with a detailed review of all known variations of the minor psoas and is analyzed through a literature re...
