Quantitative Evaluation of Female Pelvic Floor Muscle Biomechanics Using Ultrasound Elastography

IEEE Access, 2019
Female pelvic floor dysfunction is a common disease which has become one of the five common chronic diseases threatening women's health. As the supporting structures, pelvic floor muscle is critical to support the pelvic organs, maintain continence, and ...

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Exploring Symptom Domains of Postoperative Bowel Dysfunction by Integrating LARS and Wexner Scores: A Longitudinal Factor‐Analytic Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Item‐level factor analysis of the LARS and Wexner scores in 320 patients undergoing sphincter‐preserving rectal resection identified three distinct symptom domains: incontinence, urgency/clustering, and gas control. These domains had different clinical determinants: radiotherapy was associated with greater severity of both incontinence and urgency ...

Resistive vibration exercise during bed-rest reduces motor control changes in the lumbo-pelvic musculature [PDF]

, 2012
To understand the effects of a resistive vibration exercise (RVE) countermeasure on changes in lumbopelvic muscle motor control during prolonged bed-rest, 20 male subjects took part in the Berlin Bed-Rest Study (in 2003âÂÂ2005) and were randomised to ...

ADNP‐Related Helsmoortel–Van der Aa Syndrome: A Review of the Literature and Clinical Recommendations for Assessment and Monitoring

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ADNP‐related Helsmoortel–Van der Aa syndrome (ADNP‐related HVDAS) is a single gene form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) caused by pathogenic sequence variants in the activity‐dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) gene. In addition to ASD, ADNP‐related HVDAS is associated with a wide range of cognitive, behavioral, and physical health ...

Comparison of the inter-recti distance in nulliparous women measured in supine and standing positions using ultrasound imaging

Scientific Reports
In physiotherapy for pregnancy-related diastasis recti abdominis, the inter-recti distance (IRD) measurement using ultrasound imaging is typically performed with the patient in supine position.

Early evolution of the gular musculature and its innervation in ray‐finned fishes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Gular muscles are an important but often overlooked component of cranial anatomy in bony fishes. They are located on the ventral surface of the head and are derived from the mandibular and hyoid arches. We present a comprehensive review of the gular musculature and its innervation across early diverging actinopterygian lineages. By integrating

Pelvic floor muscle trauma [PDF]

Expert Review of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2010
The diagnostic assessment of pelvic floor function and anatomy is moving from the fringes to the mainstream of obstetrics and gynecology. This is largely due to the realization that pelvic floor trauma in labor is common, generally overlooked, and is a major factor in the causation of pelvic organ prolapse.

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify
