Abstract
The purpose of this report is to describe the case of a 13-year-old boy presenting typical sciatica leading to the discovery of primary pelvic hydatid cyst extending to the ischiatic bone. Diagnosis was suspected based on echography and magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by surgical exploration...

Abstract
The extended vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (eVRAM) flap includes skin and subcutaneous fat extending from the costal margin to the anterior axillary line. The reliability and vascularity of this distal extension have been questioned. The authors hypothesized that the eVRAM flap would have a...

We present the case of a 16-year-old Iraqi female with a single gunshot wound to the pelvis with extensive rectal injury who survived despite the odds. Using "damage control" techniques, this patient survived despite a reported 30% mortality associated with such wounds. During the course of her stay...

Abstract
In speeding-up normal walking, relative phase between horizontal thorax and pelvis rotations changes from more in-phase (synchronous) to more out-of-phase. In pathology (stroke, Parkinson's disease, low-back pain, pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain), this often fails to happen. Even in healthy gai...
