Peripartum Pubic Symphysis Diastasis—Practical Guidelines

Some of the most important modifications occur in the musculoskeletal system. At the time of childbirth, natural widening of the pubic symphysis and the sacroiliac joints occur. Those changes are often reversible after childbirth. Peripartum pubic symphysis separation is a relatively rare disease and there is no homogeneous approach to treatment. The paper presents the current standards of diagnosis and treatment of pubic diastasis based on orthopedic and gynecological indications. Keywords: pubic symphysis separation; pubic symphysis diastasis; pubic symphysis; pregnancy; PSD 1.

It is a viscous, mucinous substance Jthat lubricates most joints. Analysis of synovial fluid is important in the diagnosis of joint disease. Aspiration of joint fluid is indicated for any patient with a joint effusion or inflamed joints. Aspiration of asymptomatic joints is beneficial for patients with gout and pseudogout as these fluids may still contain crystals.1 Evaluation of physical, chemical, and microscopic characteristics of synovial fluid comprise routine analysis. This chapter includes an overview of the composition and function of synovial fluid, and laboratory procedures and their interpretations.

McCarthy · Wolfgang Fricke · Renate Richter Anatomy of the Dog The present volume of Anatomy of the Dog is based on the 8th edition of the highly successful German text-atlas of canine anatomy. Anatomy of the Dog – Fully illustrated with color line diagrams, including unique three-dimensional cross-sectional anatomy, together with radiographs and ultrasound scans – Includes topographic and surface anatomy – Tabular appendices of relational and functional anatomy “A region with which I was very familiar from a surgical standpoint thus became more comprehensible. […] Showing the clinical rele- vance of anatomy in such a way is a powerful tool for stimulating students’ interest. […] In addition to putting anatomical structures into clinical perspective, the text provides a brief but effective guide to dissection.” vet vet The Veterinary Record “The present book-atlas offers the students clear illustrative mate- rial and at the same time an abbreviated textbook for anatomical study and for clinical coordinated study of applied anatomy. Therefore, it provides students with an excellent working know- ledge and understanding of the anatomy of the dog. Beyond this the illustrated text will help in reviewing and in the preparation for examinations. For the practising veterinarians, the book-atlas remains a current quick source of reference for anatomical infor- mation on the dog at the preclinical, diagnostic, clinical and surgical levels.” Acta Veterinaria Hungarica with Aaron Horowitz and Rolf Berg Budras (ed.)

NOTES: Joints and Types of Movements, Continued (Ch 7, Part 4)
NOTES: Joints and Types of Movements, continued (Ch 5, part 4) *Joints are functional junctions between bones. TYPES OF JOINTS **Joints can be classified according to the type of tissue that binds the bones together.** FIBROUS JOINTS: • bones at fibrous joints are tightly joined by a layer of dense connective tissue. • little or no movement occurs at a fibrous joint • Example: the sutures between the flat bones of the skull CARTILAGINOUS JOINTS: • a layer of hyaline cartilage, or fibrocartilage, joins bones of cartilaginous joints • allow limited movement • Example: the joints that separate the vertebrae SYNOVIAL JOINTS: • most joints in the body are synovial joints • allow free movement • bones at synovial joints are covered with hyaline cartilage (“articular cartilage”) and held together by a fibrous JOINT CAPSULE. SYNOVIAL JOINTS: • the joint capsule consists of an outer layer of ligaments and an inner lining of synovial membrane (which secretes synovial fluid to lubricate the joint). • some synovial joints have flattened, shock- absorbing pads of fibrocartilage called MENISCI between the articulating surfaces of the bones SYNOVIAL JOINTS: • some synovial joints may also have BURSAE, which are fluid-filled sacs located between the skin and the underlying bony prominences. • Example: at the knee joint, the patella is sandwiched between 2 bursae. TYPES OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS: • Ball-and-socket - round head of one bone rests within a cup-shaped depression of another - all angular and rotational movements, including circumduction can be performed by this joint TYPES OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS: • Gliding (planar) – Have flattened or slightly curved faces – Flat articular surfaces slide across one another – Amount of movements is slightly TYPES OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS: • Condylar (ellipsoid) – Oval articular face nests within a depression in opposing surface – Angular movements occur in 2 planes: along or across length of oval TYPES OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS: • Hinge – Permits angular motion in single plane (e.g.

These lubricants are secreted by chondrocytes in Molecules postulated to play a key role, alone or in articular cartilage and synoviocytes in synovium, and combination, in lubrication are proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) concentrated in the synovial space by the semi-permeable (Swann et al., 1985) present in SF at a concentration of synovial lining.

Latin Language and Medical Terminology
ODESSA NATIONAL MEDICAL UNIVERSITY Department of foreign languages Latin Language and medical terminology TextbookONMedU for 1st year students of medicine and dentistry Odessa 2018 Authors: Liubov Netrebchuk, Tamara Skuratova, Liubov Morar, Anastasiya Tsiba, Yelena Chaika ONMedU This manual is meant for foreign students studying the course “Latin and Medical Terminology” at Medical Faculty and Dentistry Faculty (the language of instruction: English). 3 Preface Textbook “Latin and Medical Terminology” is designed to be a comprehensive textbook covering the entire curriculum for medical students in this subject. The course “Latin and Medical Terminology” is a two-semester course that introduces students to the Latin and Greek medical terms that are commonly used in Medicine. The aim of the two-semester course is to achieve an active command of basic grammatical phenomena and rules with a special stress on the system of the language and on the specific character of medical terminology and promote further work with it. The textbook consists of three basic parts: 1. Anatomical Terminology: The primary rank is for anatomical nomenclature whose international version remains Latin in the full extent. Anatomical nomenclature is produced on base of the Latin language. Latin as a dead language does not develop and does not belong to any country or nation. It has a number of advantages that classical languages offer, its constancy, international character and neutrality. 2. Clinical Terminology: Clinical terminology represents a very interesting part of the Latin language. Many clinical terms came to English from Latin and people are used to their meanings and do not consider about their origin.
