We present a case of renal stone associated with bilateral pelvic diverticula. The initial diagnosis by ultrasonography and plain abdomen radiography (KUB) was urolithiasis with a 15-mm calculus in the right renal pelvis. The patient was referred for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, but no stone fragments were yielded. So, further evaluations were performed by using repeated ultrasonograp...

Middle rectal artery is one of the important arteries supplying the rectum, along with the superior and inferior rectal arteries. Study of middle rectal artery was undertaken as it is important in surgeries of rectal carcinoma. .For the present study 40 pelvises were procured from the department of Anatomy of Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Pune.Variations were found in the origin of middle re...

Areal bone mineral density (aBMD), as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), predicts hip fracture risk only moderately. Simulation of bone mechanics based on DXA imaging of the proximal femur, may help to improve the prediction accuracy. Therefore, we collected three (1-3) image sets, including CT images and DXA images of 34 proximal cadaver femurs (set 1, including 30 males, 4 fe...

The present study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of pelvic anatomical and clinicopathological parameters for use in the estimation of the likely technical difficulties that may be encountered when performing open rectal surgery for mid-low rectal cancer. Sixty consecutive patients, undergoing open rectal surgery for mid-low rectal cancer were recruited between June 2009 and April 2014. ...

Abstract Introduction The purported benefits of various coital positions are described in numerous magazines, books, and public forums. However, there is little scientific research that evaluates the association between different ability to produce female orgasm. Objective To create biomechanical models five positions, evaluate degree contact forces against clitoris. clitoral blood flow before ...

Background: Application of robotic surgery in the field general has been increasing. This paper is an overview current uses and future perspectives four major divisions—endocrine, upper gastrointestinal, hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HBP), colorectal surgery.Current Concepts: In endocrine surgery, cosmetic advantage highest priority when selecting a surgical approach for thyroidectomy. Currently, ...

Background. Urinary capillariosis in dogs is caused by Capillaria plica (syn. Pearsonema plica), a ubiquitous parasitic nematode resembling string which belongs to the family Capillariidae. It parasitizes feline, canine and musteline urinary bladder, has been found ureters renal pelvises as well. C. an indirect life cycle, with earthworms (Lumbricina) intermediate hosts domestic wild animals (d...

OBJECTIVE The acetabular buttress-plate has been widely used in treating difficult cases with satisfying clinical results. However, the biomechanical properties of a postoperative acetabular fracture fixed by the buttress-plate are not clear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical properties of stability after the anterior tube buttress-plate fixation of complex acetabular ...
