Filter by:Pelvic orientations observed in the pelvis during quiet standing position the standard orientation of the pelvis, causing pelvic tilt, pelvic obliquity and pelvic rotation. There is a need to understand the relationship between these orientation disorders and gait. This is because the orientation of the pelvis both in standard standing posture and during gait is an integral part of physiotherapy assessment due to the various problems associated with abnormal pelvic position, including musculoskeletal disorders of the lumbar spine, pelvis, hips and knees. The aim of this study was to describe the morphology of pelvic orientation during static standing posture in an asymptomatic young Turkish population aged 19 to 29 years and to examine the relationship between morphologic changes and changes in pelvic tilt, pelvic obliquity and pelvic rotation angles during gait.
The severity and frequency of respiratory events is increased in the supine body posture compared with the lateral position in emergency, difficult airway patients. The mechanism responsible is not clear but may relate to the effect of position on upper airway shape and size. 3D finite element model of upper airway filling based on MRI image reconstruction can effectively reflect the anatomy of the upper airway. This study compared the effect of body position on upper airway shape and size in individuals with lateral position among sedated subjects.
Identification of the embryo with the highest potential to implant and establish an ongoing pregnancy is a primary aim in human assisted reproduction. This task is undertaken every day by embryologists worldwide during the treatment of couples that wish to conceive by IVF. The optimal scenario is the transfer of a single embryo which gives rise to a singleton pregnancy. The current limitations in determination of embryos that have the highest implantation potential probably contribute to the low rates of pregnancy during IVF treatments. Hence, since the beginning of IVF, how to improve embryo selection has been a 'hot research topic.' Morphology has been a very obvious parameter to assess embryos as it provides a chance to evaluate them from the oocyte stage all the way to the blastocysts stage. Hence, in the first era of IVF, there were number of studies that evaluated this parameter and associated morphology with IVF success rates. On the other hand, it has been previously stated that the slight increase in pregnancy rates during IVF treatment is mostly likely a result of better practices in laboratory than morphological evaluation. Due to the limitations of morphological evaluation, several researchers have investigated adjunctive non-invasive approaches for the assessment of the embryo, such as the metabolomic profiling. Recently mass spectroscopic (MS) approaches have been utilized in limited settings. Samples needed minimal preparation; analytical analysis was rapid and large amounts of data was available. Hence, MS might be a promising approach for metabolomic profiling of embryo culture media.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of live sound-bed music on physiological and psychological parameters in staff of a hospital oncology ward.
