INTRODUCTION Emphasis in the literature has begun to focus on the torso, and its role in dynamic human movement. When considering the anatomy of the lumbopelvichip complex, the torso is included. Lumbopelvic and torso efficient movement allows for optimal transfer of forces from the lower extremity to the upper extremity. In dynamic movement, it is imperative that one has proximal stability for...

We found a rare case of uncommon branching pattern with a prominent articular ramus of the inferior gluteal artery in a 39-year-old Korean male cadaver, whose cause of death was rectal carcinoma. The inferior gluteal artery branches off downwards at a time, the muscular rami ran in parallel with one another, and the articular ramus gave another muscular branch and has an anastomosis with the me...

OBJECTIVE The effects of 6-month weight loss (WL) versus aerobic exercise training (AEX)+WL on fat and skeletal muscle markers of fatty acid metabolism were determined in normal (NGT) and impaired (IGT) glucose tolerant African-American and Caucasian postmenopausal women with overweight/obesity. METHODS Fat (gluteal and abdominal) lipoprotein lipase (LPL), skeletal muscle LPL, acyl-CoA syntha...

The regulation of whole-body angular momentum is important for maintaining dynamic balance during human walking, which is particularly challenging in the frontal plane. Whole-body angular momentum is actively regulated by individual muscle forces. Thus, understanding which muscles contribute to frontal plane angular momentum will further our understanding of mediolateral balance control and has...

Introduction. Medical tourism for aesthetic surgery is popular. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) occasionally cause surgical-site infections. As NTM grow in biofilms, implantations of foreign bodies are at risk. Due to late manifestation, infections occur when patients are back home, where they must be managed properly. Case Report. A 39-year-old healthy female was referred for acute infection...

An 18-year-old boy presented with headaches, vomiting, recurrent seizures, and altered sensorium.He had extensive muscle hypertrophy on examination. MRI revealed multiple cysts in different stages in brain parenchyma, scalp, extraocular muscles, neck, chest wall, abdominal wall, paraspinal, gluteal, pelvic, and limb muscles (figure). The patient received steroids and antiepileptic drugs and had...

Tumor metastasis into skeletal muscle is uncommon, and is rarely noticeable clinically. Lung cancer and gastrointestinal tumors are the most frequent primary malignancies that metastasize to the skeletal musculature, but some reports have described muscle metastases from breast cancer [1]. The authors present a case of gluteal muscle metastasis in a patient with a known primary breast cancer. A...
