Hydatid cyst locates in the liver (70%), lungs (25%) and rarely in other body tissues. Cases with gluteal muscle localized hydatid cyst are rarely seen in literature. In this case report, a woman with hydatid cyst that was located in gluteal muscle was discussed. After the patient had been diagnosed, complete surgical excision was performed with the patient. Albendazole treatment was applied in...

A rare complication of diverticular disease is the formation of fistulas, most commonly either colo-vesical or colo-vaginal. We present the unusual case of a perforated sigmoid diverticulum forming a colo-gluteal fistula and presenting initially as a gluteal abscess in an otherwise asymptomatic patient. After drainage of the gluteal abscess, the patient re-presented with faecal loss from the ab...

Becker's nevus syndrome presents with a hyperchromic spot often trunk located, associated hypertrichosis and maxillofacial or skeletal muscle alterations. This study reports the case of male patient who had in left gluteal region, underwent intramuscular PMMA microspheres implantation for volume symmetrization

Introduction Gluteus Maximus (GMax) and Gluteus Medius (GMed) muscles are commonly weakened in hip osteoarthritis (OA), and functional weight-bearing (WB) exercises are frequently prescribed for gluteal strengthening. Muscle activity as an indicator of muscle recruitment can be measured using electromyography (EMG), with recruitment of >45% maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) require...

Introduction The gluteus maximus muscle is the largest and most powerful muscle in the gluteal region of the body. It is the most superficial of the three gluteal muscles, covering all of the others except for a small part of the gluteus medius muscle. The gluteus maximus slopes inferiolaterally at a 45° angle from the pelvis to the buttocks [1]. The approximate superior two-thirds of fibers of...

STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study, repeated-measures design. OBJECTIVES To compare hip abductor muscle activity during selected exercises using fine-wire electromyography, and to determine which exercises are best for activating the gluteus medius and the superior portion of the gluteus maximus, while minimizing activity of the tensor fascia lata (TFL). BACKGROUND Abnormal hip kinema...

In this assay, edible cattle tissues from local markets of Ardabil, a Province of Iran, were examined for residues of tetracycline antibiotics (tetracycline, oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline). In total, 110 samples of triceps, gluteal muscle, diaphragm, kidney and liver were randomly obtained from the local markets of the city of Ardabil. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) and high-performance l...

[Purpose] We investigated the effects of shoulder flexion loaded by an elastic tubing band during squat exercises, by assessing electromyographic activities of the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius. [Subjects] In total, 17 healthy males were recruited. [Methods] Participants performed squat exercises with and without shoulder flexion loaded by a tubing band. Gluteal muscle activities during th...
