Demystifying Sacral Masses: A Pictorial Review
The sacrum is a triangular shaped bone made up of five fused vertebral bodies. It is composed of bone, cartilage, marrow elements as well as notochord remnants and is a common site for both benign and malignant (primary and secondary) tumors. Familiarity

In vivo quantification of 3D displacement in sacral soft tissues under compression: Relevance of 2D US-based measurements for pressure ulcer risk assessment [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: 2D Ultrasound (US) imaging has been recently investigated as a more accessible alternative to 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for the estimation of soft issue motion under external mechanical loading. In the context of pressure ulcer prevention, the aim of this pilot MRI study was to design an experiment to characterize the sacral soft ...

Dear Editor, The recent report by Sament et al. [1] on tuberculosis of sacrum is very interesting. We here present a case with monoparesis. The case of tuberculosis of sacrum is uncommon and can be delay-diagnosed. Kumar et al. [2] noted that this disorder has to be included in differential diagnosis of patients presenting with sacral mass lesion in

Estimating Ground Reaction Forces from Inertial Sensors [PDF]
Objective: Our aim is to determine if data collected with inertial measurement units (IMUs) during steady-state running could be used to estimate ground reaction forces (GRFs) and to derive biomechanical variables (e.g., contact time, impulse, change in velocity) using lightweight machine-learning approaches.
