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.

purpose many factors such as lumbar instability and spinopelvic alignment are associated with low back pain. our purpose was to analyze the pelvic incidence - one of spinopelvic alignment parameters- and spine instability correlations in patients with chronic low back pain. methods fifty-two patients suffering from chronic low back pain entered this case control study. lateral spine radiography...

introduction: the persian squirrel (sciurus anomalus) is considered the only well-known species of the family sciuridae in the middle east. since some people keep this squirrel as a domestic pet, their attendance at veterinary clinics is increasing. so far, no study has been conducted on the arterial supply of the pelvic cavity and limb in the squirrel. hence, this research was performed to fil...

460 CMAJ, March 8, 2011, 183(4) © 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors A28-year-old man presented with epigastric pain after alcohol intake. His physical examination was unremarkable. Abdominal radiography showed small, round, sclerotic opacities distributed symmetrically along the sacroiliac joints, pubic symphy sis, acetabulum of the pelvis and the femoral heads (Figure 1). Thes...

Background: Nowadays, advanced radiotherapy equipment includes algorithms to calculate dose. The verification of the calculated doses is important to achieve accurate results. Mostly homogeneous dosimetric phantoms are available commercially which do not mimic the actual patient anatomy; therefore, an indigenous heterogeneous pelvic phantom mimicking actual human pelvic region has been used to ...

Background: Accurate voxel phantom is needed for dosimetric simulation in radiation therapy for malignant tumors in female pelvic region. However, most of the existing voxel phantoms are constructed on the basis of Caucasian or non-Chinese population. Materials and Methods: A computational framework for constructing female pelvic voxel phantom for radiation dosimetry was performed base...

Surgical intervention within the pelvic region can lead to postoperative deficits of urinary, fecal, and sexual function. Intraoperative neuromonitoring in the pelvic region (pIONM) may dramatically improve the quality of living of patients after colorectal cancer surgery. Minimizing the invasiveness of the method is a top priority for intelligent assistive technologies. Following several compu...
