Case reports Rectus abdominis rhabdomyolysis after sit ups: unexpected detection by bone scan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uptake of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate by the rectus abdominis muscle was unexpectedly found in a 29 year old man who had started to perform 30 to 40 sit ups a day for five days before the bone scan. After a week of rest, serum creatine kinase activity was still abnormal but muscle uptake of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate had ceased. This specific muscle injury after short term sit ups as well as the resolution of the phenomenon within a week are of interest. (Br J Sports Med 1998;32:253–254)

متن کاملRelationships between Sit-Ups and Abdominal Flexion Strength Tests and the Thickness of Each Abdominal Muscle
In exercise prescription and training, a simple test that accurately evaluates abdominal strength without the use of a special device is required. This study aimed to examine the relationships between sit-ups and abdominal flexion strength tests and between both the above tests and the thickness of each abdominal muscle. Subjects comprised 13 healthy young males (age: 18.9 ± 0.64 yr, height: 17...
متن کاملBreast reconstruction with the DIEP flap or the muscle-sparing (MS-2) free TRAM flap: is there a difference?
The advantages of breast reconstruction using the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap and the muscle-sparing free transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap (MS-2) are well recognized. Both techniques optimize abdominal function by maintaining the vascularity, innervation, and continuity of the rectus abdominis muscle. The purpose of this study was to compare these two...
متن کاملRectus Abdominis Endometrioma after Caesarean Section
Isolated rectus abdominis muscle endometriosis is very uncommon with less than 20 case reports being published to date since its first description in 1984 by Amato and Levitt. We report another case of isolated rectus abdominis endometriosis in a 37-year-old patient with a previous caesarian section. We also discuss the diagnostic and treatment particularities in these patients. In our case, th...
متن کاملStretch due to Penile Prosthesis Reservoir Migration
A 43-year old patient presented to the emergency department with stretch, due to impossible deflation of the penile prosthesis, 4 years after successful implant. A CT-scan showed migration of the reservoir to the left rectus abdominis muscle. Refilling of the reservoir was inhibited by muscular compression, causing stretch. Removal and replacement of the reservoir was performed, after which the...
