Worldwide, hemorrhagic shock in major trauma remains a major potentially preventable cause of death. Controlling bleeding and subsequent coagulopathy is a big challenge. Immediate assessment of unidentified bleeding sources is essential in blunt trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock. Chest/pelvic X-ray in conjunction with ultrasonography have been established classically as initial diagnostic ...

UNLABELLED Primary sacral tumours are rare, therefore experience of managing their associated complications are very limited. Effective surgical treatment of pelvic chondrosarcoma remains a major challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, due to the complex anatomic structure of the pelvis, the lack of defined compartment borders, the close vicinity to vital structures, and the risk of jeopardizing pe...

BMJ Case Reports Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2012008158 DESCRIPTION A 62-year-old woman, with no significant medical history, was found unresponsive at home. Patient was intubated and rushed to our emergency room. She was found to be in renal failure with hyperkalaemia. Chest x-ray (figure 1) revealed multiple large pulmonary...

Objectives Asymmetry within the pelvic structure can lead to a cascade of postural compensations throughout the spine, predisposing people to recurrent somatic dysfunction and decreased functionality. As a basic structural element, the pelvis should be fully symmetric with respect to the sagittal plane. However, many studies conducted by different researchers showed, that the asymmetry of the p...

introduction here we report an unusual case of massive stone formation in augmented urinary bladder. case presentation a 25-year-old man presented with recurrent urinary tract infection ten years after augmentation cystoplasty after a complex pelvic fracture urethral distraction defect. on evaluation by ultrasonography, x-ray, and computed tomography of abdomen showed large burden of stones in ...

OBJECTIVES To characterize the association between thoracic (T) and lumbar (L) spinal curvature and pelvic floor (PF) symptoms (pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence [UI], fecal incontinence [FI]). METHODS Of women undergoing a bone mineral density scan from January 2007 to October 2010, patients who completed PF symptom questionnaires and had T and/or L spine radiographs or computed to...

adult ureteroceles are generally known as simple ureteroceles with minimal obstructive effects 1 that can usually be managed endoscopically. such pathology presented with acute abdominal pain and fever in a 32-year-old man with left renal agenesia, a cranial blind left ureter and left obstructed ureterocele. the retained secretions were suppurative.

objective: to compare the efficacy of ceftriaxone plus ofloxacin or azithromycin for cases of pelvic inflammatory disease (pid). materials and methods:   this clinical terial was performed on 180 women with pid from march 2005 to march 2007 in parastarane-shahed hospital. patients with pid were randomly divided to receive injection of ceftriaxone 250 mg plus ofloxacin 200 mg per day or azithrom...

The aim of the study was to supplement data on pelvic morphology and structural geometry. Using these data, a mathematical and biomechanical model was constructed. The research was divided into two parts. The first part comprised radiogrammetric analysis of pelvic morphology and geometry based on 60 AP x-rays of male and female pelvises. The spatial definition of the pelvis was given by three t...

BACKGROUND In children with cerebral palsy, spinal equilibrium and pelvic strategies may vary according to the functional status. OBJECTIVES To study the relationship between motor function and pelvic and spinal parameters in a population of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (rated from level I to level IV on Gross Motor Function Classification System [GMFCS]). A sagittal X-ray of ...
