Src-associated in mitosis of 68 kDa (Sam68), also known as KHDRBS1 (KH domain-containing, RNA-binding, signal transduction-associated 1), is a member of the signal transduction and activation of RNA family. Previous studies have demonstrated that the aberrant expression of Sam68 is associated with the progression and prognosis of a variety of cancers, but little is known about its expression an...

Endoscopy of the lumbar sub-arachnoidal space is named thecaloscopy, which has been used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The understanding of the anatomic dimensions of this region is useful for the atraumatic use of flexible endoscopes. Furthermore, by using MRI the determination of anatomic values of the sacral spinal canal is possible without the use of cadaver measurements. MRI of ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of the Australian Medical Sheepskin in preventing sacral pressure ulcers (PUs), based on combined data from existing published trials. DESIGN AND SETTING Data from two randomised controlled trials (RCTs) among Australian hospital patients and one RCT among Dutch nursing home patients were pooled, comprising a total population of 1281 patients from 45 nurs...

Address for Correspondence: Dr. Arpan Dubey, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Bundelkhand Medical College, Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, India. E-Mail: [email protected] Aim: The objective of present study is to determine the significance of sacral index in sex determination and to compare the findings with different races. Material and Methods: 60 adult sacra (30 male &30 female) wer...

Low transverse sacral fractures are rare, with only two published reports regarding their surgery. The complication associated with surgery for sacral fractures is the prominence of implants. In addition, screw fixation below S3 is impractical. We performed posterior sacral fixation using S2 alar iliac (S2AI) screws and sacral sublaminar wires for low transverse sacral fractures. Case 1 was 65-...

Sacrum is formed by the fusion of five sacral vertebrae and forms the lower part of vertebral column. The opening present at the lower end of sacral canal is known as sacral hiatus. Anatomical variations in morphology and morphometry of sacral hiatus are important clinically as well as surgically. 159 dry clean human Sacra were taken from Department of Anatomy, Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Med...

Sacral nerve stimulation through the retrograde approach has been used for peroneal or irritable bowel syndrome through the retrograde approach. However, several reasons, lead could not be advanced down ward. In this case, anterograde sacral nerve stimulation through the sacral hiatus could be used. The aim of this report is to present of technique of sacral nerve root stimulation through the s...

The variations of sacral hiatus in dry bone are important as it determines access of sacral hiatus for caudal epidural anesthesia and analgesia. So the present study was conducted on 44 adult dry sacra in department of Anatomy, All India Institute of Medical Sciences,Bhubaneshwar,Odisha,India with the aim to find out the anatomical variations of sacral hiatus(SH) including shape, length, antero...

AIMS To test different technical setups for stimulation and recording of the sacral reflex, provide confidence intervals and discuss the utility of the sensory threshold and the sacral reflex threshold in women with "non-neurogenic" sacral dysfunction. METHODS All women without neurologic disorder, with normal neurologic examination, and bilaterally normal quantitative electromyography of the...

PURPOSE Vertically unstable sacral transforaminal fractures can be stabilized with a transiliac internal fixator (TIFI) or two iliosacral screws (IS). This study was designed to compare stiffness between TIFI and IS. METHODS Using CT images finite element model of the pelvis was developed. Denis II type fracture was simulated and fixed either with TIFI or two IS. The sacral base was loaded ve...
