Influence of adequate pelvic floor muscle contraction on the movement of the coccyx during pelvic floor muscle training

Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2018
[Purpose] Pelvic floor muscle training is a first-line therapy for female stress urinary incontinence. Previous studies have suggested that the coccyx tip moves ventrally and cranially during pelvic floor muscle contraction. The study aimed to elucidate the influence of adequate pelvic floor muscle contraction on coccyx movement. [Subjects and Methods]

Effects of feeding almond hulls to light lambs on carcass characteristics and meat quality

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3876-3884, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Almond hulls (AH) are the main by‐product of almond processing for human consumption and contain bioactive compounds that can improve meat quality. Although AH are used as feed for dairy cows in some countries, information on their potential effects on meat quality is limited.
