Pelvic shape predisposes for pelvic organ prolapse: geometric morphometry study

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify morphological features of the soft tissue and bony pelvis that could serve as predictive risk factors for the development of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in adult women. Methods This case–control study compared the shapes of the pelvic floor soft tissue and bony pelvis between three groups: parous women with POP (cases ...

Statistical shape modelling as a novel reconstruction tool in palaeoanthropology: A case study on fossil pelves

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Reconstructing incomplete anatomical regions of extinct taxa is critical for understanding their ecological and evolutionary context, including their migration patterns, reproductive strategies and environmental adaptations. In hominins, the pelvis can be particularly challenging to reconstruct because crushing and fragmentation during ...

Acute crystal deposition arthritis of the pubic symphysis [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2013
A 68-year-old woman presented with an acute onset of lower abdominal pain. A CT scan of the pelvis showed acute crystal deposition arthritis, and her symptoms markedly reduced with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Further, a radiographic evaluation of the right knee joint and CT of the cervical spine revealed calcification; calcium pyrophosphate (
