Change of Pelvic Inclination Angle from Decubitus to Standing Position

Microbiologic Predictors of Pelvic Osteomyelitis Related to Decubitus Ulcers

The effect of lateral decubitus position on intraocular pressure in patients with untreated open-angle glaucoma.

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of change of body posture from the supine to the lateral decubitus position on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma. DESIGN Prospective, observational case series. METHODS Setting. Institutional. Participants. Forty-four eyes of 22 patients with newly diagnosed bilateral open-angle glaucoma. Observation procedures. IOP was measure...

Shifts in pelvic inclination angle and parasympathetic tone produced by Rolfing soft tissue manipulation.

The effects of soft tissue manipulation (Rolfing method) were evaluated on young healthy men using two dependent variables: 1) angle of pelvic inclination and 2) parasympathetic activity. Pelvic inclination was assessed by determining the angle of standing pelvic tilt (SPT) with an inclinometer. Autonomic tone was assessed by a measure of cardiac vagal tone (amplitude of respiratory sinus arrhy...

Stellar differential rotation and inclination angle from spectro-interferometry

Differential interferometry (DI) is a technique that combines high spectral resolution with high spatial resolution. It is particularly suited to probe mechanisms that induce chromatic signatures, such as large scale mass motions. We thus investigate the use of DI combined with the Fourier transform method to study the stellar surface differential rotation. We show that, compared to spectroscop...

[Percutaneous nephrolithotomy in supine decubitus. Valdivia's position].

OBJECTIVES The accidental puncture of the renal cavities and the performance of anterograde pyelogram by Goodwin in 1955 gave way to the beginning of modern endourology. The possibility to insert thick caliber catheters in the excretory system through the renal parenchyma had led to the current state of percutaneous surgery techniques in the treatment of urinary lithiasis. Percutaneous nephroli...
