Irritable Bowel Syndrome01:23

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

DefinitionIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurrent combinations of abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation.Pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndromeIts pathophysiology is multifactorial, involving disturbances in motility, sensory processing, microbial balance, barrier integrity, and gut–brain communication. These mechanisms interact to produce symptoms that vary across IBS subtypes.Altered Motility PatternsDisordered...
Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction01:17

Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by functional disturbances in the gastrointestinal system, presenting a cluster of symptoms without evident structural or biochemical abnormalities. It primarily affects the large intestine and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or both.
IBS is a chronic condition that can persist over a long period or recur frequently.
The pathogenesis of IBS involves a complex interplay of the following factors:

Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...
Abdominal Regions and Quadrants01:19

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants

To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four quadrants...
Functional Classification of Joints01:09

Functional Classification of Joints

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
Synarthrosis
An immobile...
Degenerative Disc Disease I: Introduction01:27

Degenerative Disc Disease I: Introduction

Degenerative disc disease is a chronic condition in which intervertebral discs gradually lose structure and function. It is not infectious or autoimmune; rather, it results from age-related biochemical and mechanical changes, influenced by genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors.Structure and Function of DiscsThe spine contains 23 intervertebral discs that absorb load, distribute forces, maintain spacing, and allow flexibility. Each disc consists of a nucleus pulposus, a gel-like core...

Summary

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a cause of low back pain, can be diagnosed with a sacroiliac joint block. Percutaneous sacroiliac fixation effectively relieved pain in all patients studied.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pain Management
  • Spine Surgery

Background:

  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction presents as low back and groin pain.
  • It is a crucial consideration in the differential diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, and facet syndrome.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present cases of sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
  • To highlight diagnostic methods and treatment outcomes for sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • Four cases of sacroiliac dysfunction were analyzed.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed by positive response to sacroiliac joint block.
  • Clinical and radiological signs supported the diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • Percutaneous sacroiliac fixation provided complete pain relief in all four cases.

  • Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores decreased significantly from a mean of 8.2 to 2.2.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction diagnosis necessitates thorough physical examination for low back and groin pain.
    • A positive sacroiliac block is key for diagnosis.
    • Sacroiliac fixation is an effective treatment for carefully selected patients.
