When Sciatica Is Not Disk Disease
Abstract:
In brief Piriformis muscle syndrome is an often unrecognized cause of sciatic pain. The sciatic nerve, which normally passes beneath the piriformis muscle deep in the midbuttock, can be compressed when the muscle goes into spasm or is injured. The resultant pain is often confused with discogenic disease, but a thorough history and physical exam can pinpoint the true cause. Conservative treatment of piriformis syndrome-with a focus on stretching-is often successful.

Electric Field of a Charged Disk
The system's symmetry is in the cylindrical directions across the plane of the charge. As a result, the electric fields created by various surface charge elements nullify each other in the direction parallel to the surface. Thereby, the resulting electric field is perpendicular to the plane. Since the disk is...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
