Venolymphatic malformation of the proximal gastrocnemius muscle in a girl.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The patient was an 8-year-old girl who was referred to a physical therapist by her pediatrician for a chief complaint of worsening proximal right calf pain and progressive right-sided toe walking for the past 6 weeks. Due to concern that the patient's symptoms were nonmusculoskeletal in nature, the physical therapist discussed the history and physical examination findings with the patient's pediatrician and an orthopaedic surgeon. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging and percutaneous biopsy led to a diagnosis of a low-flow venolymphatic malformation of the proximal gastrocnemius muscle.

Effectiveness of the Gastrocsoleous Flap for Coverage of Soft Tissue Defects in Leg with Emphasis on the Distal Third
Background: The standard methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the leg include gastrocnemius flap for proximal third defects, soleus flap for middle third and free flap in the distal third. However, there are problems with the use of free flap, like increased operative time, damage of major vessels and the need for experienced microsurgeon. Mathods: This prospective study was und...
متن کاملEffect of Eight Weeks of High Intensity Interval Training on Insulin Resistance and IRS1 Gene Expression in Gastrocnemius Muscle of Obese Wistar Rats
Background and objectives: The role of genetic components in expression of proteins involved in signaling pathways of fat and carbohydrate metabolism has been well-demonstrated. The aim of this study was to determine effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance levels as well as IRS1 expression in gastrocnemius muscle of obese Wistar rats. Meth...

New studies in neuromuscular control have indicated that the strength of muscle contraction isn’t the only important factor in a task. But the speed at which a muscle responds, preparation of muscle and synergistic pattern at which a group of muscles recruit to a task or respond to a condition are much more important in constant joint stabilization and potential injury prevention. The purpo...

Background: Skeletal muscle as an endocrine tissue is involved in the regulation of metabolic activity, production and secretion of hormones including myokines. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of aerobic training combined with ethanol consumption on plasma lipid profile and glucose levels, triglyceride content and mayonectin, irisin and leptin gene expr...
متن کاملThe effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on recovery of skeletal muscle after neurotization surgery in rat
Objective(s): When the nerve is injured near its entrance to the muscle belly, we cannot perform conventional methods. One useful method in such a situation is neurotization surgery. In this study, Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) implanted into the paralyzed muscle after neurotization surgery. These cells can stimulate axon growth and motor endplate formation, also prevent muscle atr...
