This study was done to evaluate a new, simple, non-invasive pain provocation test as an acid to differentiate between low-back and posterior pelvic pain in pregnant women. The test was performed on 72 pregnant women at various stages of pregnancy with or without low-back or posterior pelvic pain. The study was conducted by two physiotherapists with special interest in back pain in pregnancy at a normal antenatal clinic. The test was easy to learn, perform and interpret and was applicable throughout pregnancy. There was a strong correlation between a positive test answer and a history of posterior pelvic pain (P < 0.01, chi-square). There were no side-effects. The test was highly specific and had a high positive prediction value for posterior pelvic pain and a high negative prediction value for low-back pain among pregnant women.

Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation

Palpation is a crucial tactile examination method for assessing abdominal organs and detecting conditions like tenderness, distention, masses, or fluid. It involves both light and deep palpation techniques, each serving specific diagnostic purposes. Light palpation helps identify tenderness and other surface-level indicators, while deep palpation locates and assess abdominal masses and organ boundaries. A skilled professional can gather valuable insights through palpation, including evaluating...

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...
