Both atypical lobular hyperplasia and lobular in-situ neoplasia increase the risk for development of invasive carcinoma (four- and 10-fold medications while pregnant atomoxetine 10 mg purchase with mastercard, respectively). Subsequent invasive carcinoma after atypical lobular hyperplasia is three times more likely to occur in the ipsilateral breast (Page et al 2003). The risk of developing subsequent invasive carcinoma after a diagnosis of lobular in-situ neoplasia is similar in both the ipsilateral and contralateral breasts. Columnar cell lesions Columnar cell lesions can be classified as either columnar cell change or columnar cell hyperplasia with or without atypia (Schnitt and Vincent-Salomon 2003). Atypical columnar cell lesions (also called flat epithelial atypia, blunt duct adenosis, columnar alteration of lobules, hypersecretory hyperplasia with atypia, pretubular hyperplasia, and columnar alteration with prominent snouts and secretions) have a low local recurrence rate and a low risk of progressing to invasive carcinoma. Columnar cell lesions diagnosed by needle core biopsy are advisedly excised to exclude in-situ or invasive cancer. As malignancy cannot be excluded following needle core biopsy, excision biopsy of these lesions is advised. Ductal hyperplasia Normal breast ducts are lined by two layers of cuboidal cells with specialized luminal borders and basal contractile myoepithelial cells. Epithelial hyperplasia is defined as an increase in cells within the ductal space. The degree of architectural and cytological features of the proliferating cells further classifies hyperplasia. Usual ductal hyperplasia has an increase in the number of cells without architectural distortion, and is not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Mild hyperplasia of usual type denotes a three- to four-cell layer of proliferating cells, whereas moderate hyperplasia describes a proliferating layer more than four cells thick. The most important cytological feature of mild, moderate and florid hyperplasia is the mixture of cell types and variation in appearance of epithelial cells and their nuclei (Koerner 2004). It is a rare condition seen in 4% of symptomatic benign biopsy lesions, and is often small and focal, involving a small part of the duct or a few ducts (Guray and Sahin 2006). Radial scars are benign pseudoinfiltrative lesions of unknown significance, characterized by a fibroelastic core with entrapped ducts surrounded by radiating ducts and lobules showing variable epithelial hyperplasia, adenosis duct ectasia and papillomatosis. The majority of disorders related to pregnancy and lactation are benign, but pregnancy-associated breast cancer accounts for approximately 3% of all breast malignancies. All breast masses discovered during pregnancy and lactation require careful evaluation. Lactogenesis Proliferative Stromal Lesions Diabetic fibrous mastopathy this is a rare form of lymphocytic mastitis and stromal fibrosis which can occur in patients with longstanding type 1 diabetes who have severe diabetic microvascular complications. Clinically, it is characterized by solitary or multiple ill-defined, painless, immobile, discrete lesions in one or both breasts. Mammographic and sonographic findings of these lesions are very suspicious for carcinoma; therefore, needle core biopsy is essential for diagnosis (Camuto et al 2000, Haj et al 2004).

Apparent resolution of the leakage following catheterization was treatment hepatitis b atomoxetine 10 mg order amex, in fact, due to progressive obstruction above the level of a ureterovaginal fistula. For small fistulae, a ureteric catheter is suitable, although if the hole is large enough a small Foley catheter may be used to deliver the radio-opaque dye; this is of particular value for fistulae for which there is an intervening abscess cavity. If a catheter will pass through a small vaginal aperture into an adjacent loop of bowel, its nature may become apparent from the radiological appearance of the lumen and haustrations, although further imaging studies are usually required to demonstrate the underlying pathology. This may be particularly useful in allowing the operator to look down on to bladder neck and subsymphysial fistulae, and is also of advantage in some massive fistulae in encouraging the reduction of the prolapsed bladder mucosa (Lawson 1967). Although in some obstetric and radiation fistulae, the size of the defect and the extent of tissue loss and scarring may make it difficult to distend the bladder, much useful information is still obtained. The exact level and position of the fistula should be determined, and its relationship to the ureteric orifices and bladder neck are particularly important. With urethral and bladder neck fistulae, the failure to pass a cystoscope or sound may indicate that there has been circumferential loss of the proximal urethra; a circumstance which is of considerable importance in determining the appropriate surgical technique and the likelihood of subsequent urethral incompetence. Similar considerations may apply to investigation of the lower bowel following major obstetric injuries in which segmental circumferential loss of the upper rectum may have occurred. Persistence of slough means that surgery should be deferred, and this is particularly important in obstetric and postradiation cases. Biopsy from the edge of a fistula should be taken in radiation fistulae, if persistent or recurrent malignancy is suspected. Malignant change has been reported in a longstanding benign fistula, so where there is any doubt at all Colpography and hysterosalpingography If a fistula opening cannot be identified directly, colpography or hysterography may occasionally be helpful. If a large Foley catheter with a large balloon is distended in the lower vagina, injection of a non-viscous opaque medium under pressure may outline a fistulous track to an adjacent organ. However, failure to demonstrate a fistula by this means does not exclude its presence. If a patient with a vesicouterine fistula has no history of incontinence but complains of cyclical haematuria, contrast studies carried out through the uterus (hysterosalpingography) may be more rewarding than cystography. Barium enema, barium meal and follow-through Either or both of these may be required for evaluation of the intestinal condition when an intestinal fistula is present above the anorectum. Aside from confirming the presence of a fistula, evidence of malignant or inflammatory disease may be identified. Ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging these may occasionally be appropriate for the complete assessment of complex fistulae. Endoanal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are particularly useful in the investigation of anorectal and perineal fistulae. Examination under anaesthesia Careful examination, if necessary under anaesthetic, may be required to determine the presence of a fistula, and is deemed by several authorities to be an essential preliminary to definitive surgical treatment (Chassar Moir 1967, Lawson 1978, Jonas and Petri 1984, Lawson and Hudson 1987).

Objects in the breast of different stiffness will displace different amounts top medicine discount atomoxetine online mastercard, creating an image of relative stiffness (Svensson and Amiras 2006). Research into elasticity ultrasound has been ongoing for over 20 years, but it is only more recently with advances in computing power that commercial development of the potential clinical applications has become possible. A recent study has shown that benign lesions have a smaller size image on strain ultrasound than B-mode imaging, whilst malignant lesions usually have a larger strain image (Hall et al 2003). Malignant lesions mainly appear as stiff throughout, and strain imaging can reveal lesions that are occult on B-mode imaging, allowing accurate diagnostic biopsy. It may be that knowledge of the typical strain appearances may obviate the need to fine needle aspirate/biopsy certain benign lesions. Mammography X-ray mammography has been the basis of breast imaging for more than 30 years. Breast tissue is more dense in younger women and whilst the sensitivity of mammography for breast cancer in women over 60 years of age approaches 95%, detection rates are less than 50% in women under 40 years of age (Kolb et al 2002). Mammography uses ionizing radiation and should only be used where a clinical benefit is likely. The benefits of mammography in women over 40 years of age is likely to outweigh the oncogenic effects of repeated exposure. There is rarely an indication for performing mammography in women under 35 years of age unless there is a strong clinical suspicion of malignancy. The false-negative rate for mammography has been reported to be between 10% and 30%. Studies have shown almost 100% sensitivity in detecting invasive breast cancers, although most show poor specificity. Irregular dense mass with a spiculated margin and fine spiculations extending out into the surrounding breast tissue. On the greyscale image, there is an irregular mass of reduced echogenicity which has posterior shadowing. The colour Doppler image shows surround vascularity which has a radial distribution feeding the cancer. The right prosthesis has ruptured, and the curvilinear shape of the envelope of the prosthesis lying free within the silicone is clearly visible. Of the 62 women studied, multifocal cancer was present in 20%, multicentric cancer in 4%, and multifocal and multicentric cancer in 3%. Therefore, approximately one-quarter of additional ipsilateral cancers occur within the same quadrant. A recent multi-institutional study of women recently diagnosed with breast cancer showed that 3.

Everyone who has a relationship with the patient will be affected by the cancer diagnosis symptoms 6 weeks pregnant purchase atomoxetine on line amex, even if they do not show their feelings. If their mother is frequently absent or not well enough to care for and play with them as she did prior to her illness, children may feel inexplicably rejected. Sometimes all that is needed is time to adjust and the maintenance of some routine and stability. However, there are things that parents can say or do to help their children to cope with change and uncertainty. Tell children what has happened, explain what will happen next and be prepared to repeat the information and to ask children questions to check whether they have understood what they have been told. Children need accurate information about cancer, not fears and assumptions gleaned from other sources. It is important to ask children whether they have any questions and to let them know it is all right to ask anything they want. Children often take a long time to process information and may need to come back much later and ask more. As well as telling them about changes, it is important for them to know what will stay the same. Reassurance that they will always be looked after and loved in spite of the illness will help maintain feelings of security. It is important to listen to children, as they will let us know what they can cope with. Honesty about what adults do not know is as important as sharing what we do know if children are to continue to trust. Not telling them may feel like a breach of trust and children usually know when something is wrong. If parents try to protect them by saying nothing, they may actually develop fears which are worse than the real situation. Through sharing their feelings and being prepared to acknowledge and express sadness, the parents can offer support for their children. Coping with cancer in the family can be an opportunity for children to learn about the body, cancer, treatment and 759 48 Supportive care for gynaecological cancer patients: psychological and emotional aspects healing. They can also learn about feelings and the strength of the human spirit in difficult times. Telling children means that they can share significant emotions with their parents and siblings. They can cope with difficult information if they are supported with it, left with a feeling of hope and assurance that they will still be loved and cared for. Teenagers Adolescents have a particularly difficult time, as they are already struggling with all kinds of development issues. They are trying to find a new identity and balance between dependence and independence.

They found that use of hormone therapy in women with fibroids caused continued fibroid growth medications 2 times a day order atomoxetine once a day, especially in the first 6 months of therapy, or at least a failure in normal postmenopausal regression. They frequently become calcified; rarely, they become ossified so that they are rock hard. Fibroids are round or oval-shaped tumours with a characteristic white whorled appearance on cross-section. Classification and pathophysiology Surgical removal of over 120 individual fibroids from a single patient has been recorded in the literature! Clinicalclassification Subserosal fibroids Subserosal fibroids project outwards from the uterine surface, covered with peritoneum, and may reach a very large size. Greater than 50% of the fibroid mass must project beyond the myometrium for the fibroid to be classified as subserosal. Sessile subserosal fibroids projecting from the fundal region may adhere to omentum or bowel, particularly if there has been coincidental inflammatory disease. Subserosal fibroids arising from the lateral uterine wall may lie between the layers of the broad ligament where large tumours may displace the ureters, or bulge between the layers of the sigmoid mesocolon. Broad ligament fibroids arising from the lateral uterine wall differ from true broad ligament fibroids, which have no attachment to the uterus but have their origin in smooth muscle fibres within the broad ligament; for example, from the round ligament, ovarian ligament or perivascular connective tissue. A strict definition requires more than 50% of the fibroid mass to lie within the myometrial layer of the uterus, although smaller percentages of the tumour mass may project either into the uterine cavity or out from the serosal layer. This pseudocapsule is of great help when performing a myomectomy, as it provides a plane of easy cleavage to enucleate the fibroid tumour but leave the remainder of the uterus. Submucosal fibroids Submucosal fibroids are less common, comprising approximately 5% of all leiomyomata. By definition, more than 50% of the fibroid mass projects into the uterine cavity and is covered by endometrium. Uterine enlargement is not usually evident unless other fibroids are also present. The patient presented at 43 years with menorrhagia; she had a 13-year history of primary infertility. The patient, aged 44 years, presented with a 3-week history of continuous bleeding; haemoglobin level was 6. Enlargement causes upward displacement of the uterus, and the fibroid may become impacted in the pelvis, causing urinary retention and ureteric obstruction. During labour, a cervical fibroid may prevent descent of the fetal head, resulting in obstructed labour; if on the anterior surface of the uterus, a cervical fibroid may complicate caesarean section surgery. This triad of gene expression differences may, in part, explain the relatively avascular fibroid tissue. Immunohistochemical studies of the microvascular density of fibroids demonstrate reduced vessel area staining in fibroids compared with the myometrium (Casey et al 2000), and with the difference increasing after the menopause (Weston et al 2005); this is probably due to relatively faster collapse of the myometrial cellular and extracellular matrix volume relative to that of the fibroid.

However symptoms mercury poisoning 10 mg atomoxetine with visa, postpartum fissures are usually anterior and may be associated with a rectocele. The scar formation may be associated with ischaemia; however, the resting pressures in these patients are usually low. External haemorrhoids do thrombose spontaneously and the exact aetiology remains unclear. Patients may be treated conservatively, especially if they present more than 3 days after the thrombosis occurred; actulose, analgesia and ice packs on the perineum will often resolve the symptoms more quickly than a surgical procedure. Open haemorrhoidectomy is effective; however, it is associated with pain, infection and other complications, such as incontinence and stenosis of the anal canal. An anal fissure may occur at any time in life but is most common between the second and fourth decades, with an equal distribution between men and women and a lifetime incidence of just over 11%. Inspection of the anus will usually reveal the fissure, and it is not usually possible to carry out any further examination due to the pain associated with the fissure. If a sphincterotomy is performed, it should be limited to the length of the fissure as this almost certainly reduces the incontinence problems. If the patient has a short anus or has had previous anorectal surgery, extreme caution is advised. Fissurectomy Excising the fissure and the fibrotic edge may improve healing rates and can be used in association with botulinum toxin. Anal advancement flap In patients in whom the fissure is associated with a low pressure, any medical or surgical aims to reduce anal pressure are unlikely to cause healing. Treatment of anal fissures Acute anal fissures are usually treated conservatively with stool softeners and topical analgesics. Recurrence rates are reduced from 68% to 16% after continuing conservative management (Jensen 1987). Unfortunately, the side-effect of severe headaches often precludes usage, although these headaches do wear off with time (Cross et al 2008). Calcium channel blockers Diltiazem and nifedipine cause muscle relaxation and vascular dilatation by inhibiting the entry of calcium ions. Botulinum toxin Botulinum toxin works by binding irreversibly to the presynaptic nerve terminals preventing acetylcholine release and resulting in hypotonia and a reduced resting anal pressure.

Not all pains are due to cancer itself; previous treatment and incidental causes are also important symptoms 5 weeks pregnant buy 40 mg atomoxetine mastercard. Investigations may be appropriate, although very ill patients should only be subjected to even simple investigation if it is clear that different results will lead to differences in management. Man is not destroyed by suffering, he is destroyed by meaningless suffering (Frankl 1987). Symptom control the psychological and emotional aspects of care cannot be adequately assessed and managed if a woman is experiencing uncontrolled physical symptoms. A history of the site/s, area of radiation, duration, aggravating and relieving factors, as well as relevant clinical examination is needed. It is important because continuous pain (visceral and soft tissue) responds to morphine, whereas other types of pain (bone, nerve, colic or non-cancer-related pain. Assessment tools may be useful in the assessment of complex or multiple types or sites of pain. It demonstrates the sites of pain, as 80% of patients are thought to have two or more pains (Kay 1994). Recording pain scores is another simple way to monitor difficult, complex pain control. The aim is to free the woman from the limitations imposed upon her life by the symptoms, as far as possible. This needs to be approached by a specialist multidisciplinary team wherever the woman chooses to be looked after. Expert nursing care needs to be offered, including gynaecological cancer nurses, palliative care nurses and community Macmillan support and district nurses; counselling; palliative care doctors; rehabilitation services, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers and complementary therapists; spiritual support; family support; terminal care and bereavement services. Physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs are often combined and can be complex. They will require time and sensitivity from a team approach in order to manage care. Route and frequency of drug administration When possible, analgesia should be given by mouth. This reduces the risk of breakthrough pain, but alternative or additional analgesics must be considered and prescribed for breakthrough pain before it actually occurs.

Kurt, 44 years: It may be performed in women with or without a uterus, and involves excision of rectangular pieces of vaginal epithelium anteriorly and posteriorly, vaginal inversion and closure with sutures, thus obliterating the vaginal space. Fractional regional loss index, an index of total allelic loss at chromosomal regions 3p, 13q14 and 17p13. This increase in tension augments the form closure of the hip joint as the load transfer requirements increase. Conventional bladder neck surgery (as is used to treat urodynamic stress incontinence) rarely cures women with detrusor overactivity and may make the symptoms of urgency and frequency worse.

Lukar, 39 years: Several studies have investigated the control system (behavior of the pelvic floor and abdominal wall) in subjects with either pelvic girdle pain and/ or incontinence and will be discussed below. Several theories have been proposed over the years, including infection, immunological factors, leaky urothelium due to glycosaminoglycan deficiency, mast cell activation and altered neural function. Theoretically, this is meant to reduce anterior wall recurrence and pudendal neurovascular injury compared with sacrospinous ligament suspension, although data are sparse and limited to case series (Meeks et al 1994, Maher et al 2001). Inadequate treatment during pregnancy can lead to acute pyelonephritis and abortion, and if neglected in later life, can lead to chronic pyelonephritis, hypertension and later renal failure.

Giacomo, 34 years: Abrams P, Cardozo L, Fall M et al 2002 the standardisation of terminology of lower urinary tract function. Currently, such a test eludes investigators, although a number of adjunctive non-invasive tests may be contributory in the management of patients. Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma urealyticum Mycoplasma (including Ureaplasma urealyticum) are small and have no cell wall. Other less common causes include gonorrhoea, mycoplasma, gardnerella and Gram-negative rods (British 12.

Musan, 50 years: Randomized trials in patients with bony metastatic disease have shown that bisphosphonates can significantly reduce skeletal-related events, including pathological fractures, spinal cord compression, hypercalcaemia and the need for intervention with radiotherapy by 30­50%. Subsequently, decreasing risk with increasing numbers of full-term pregnancies has been shown in over a dozen case­control studies (Whittemore et al 1992). The failure to recognize patients as individuals is likely a factor in adverse drug and toxic drug­drug interactions that account for 100,000 patient deaths, two million hospitalizations, and $100 billion in health care costs in the United States yearly. All of these treatments are aimed at decreasing the haemorrhoidal tissue volume and fixing the anal cushion back to the rectal wall.

Phil, 21 years: Infection produces acute vulval pruritus associated with a crusting discharge, and white plaques will be seen within the vagina and on the vulva. Detrusor Overactivity the symptoms of overactive bladder are due to involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle during the filling phase of the micturition cycle. Women whose prolapse extends beyond the hymenal remnants are more likely to be symptomatic (Swift et al 2003). Standardization of terminology in neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (Stöhrer et al 1999).

Murat, 56 years: This will require that the patient be taught ideal strategies for postures and movements necessary for their activities of daily living (Chapters 11, 12). Nevertheless, its occurrence is well recognized by those who work with prostitutes, although not necessarily by the criminal justice system whose response has often been inappropriate (Kennedy 1993). Mucinous carcinoma Grossfeatures Malignant mucinous tumours comprise approximately 12% of malignant tumours of the ovary. Neuromodulation Sacral neuromodulation Stimulation of the dorsal sacral nerve root using a permanent implantable device in the S3 sacral foramen has been developed for use in patients with overactive bladder and neurogenic detrusor overactivity.

Givess, 33 years: Cystourethroscopy Cystoscopy allows the urethra and bladder to be visualized optically. The largest number of new infections occurred in South and South-east Asia, followed by subSaharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. Drug-induced cystitis the bladder is susceptible to the adverse effects of drugs because of the excretion of several drug metabolites in the urine. Decreased desire Relationship between Pelvic Organ Dysfunction and Sexual Function Evidence from large prospective studies has demonstrated that prolapse and/or incontinence have an adverse effect on sexual function (Rogers et al 2001a, Handa et al 2004, Novi et al 2005).

Lukjan, 52 years: Most makes of cystoscope are similar and, as they are often not interchangeable, it is preferable to stick to one type. There are two main types of radiotherapy: external beam radiation and vaginal brachytherapy. This definition considers the multiple factors (load demands, mobility requirements, predictability, and real or perceived risk) of any task. Apart from the obvious anxieties about her prognosis and family relationships, financial worries and change in role can be an immense source of stress for the patient and partner.

Agenak, 26 years: The thoracic and lumbar spines extend and the sequence of extension can be varied (cranial to caudal vs caudal to cranial). Treatment is the same as for septicaemia, and includes intravenous fluids and inotropic support where necessary. Clinical Presentation Abnormalbleeding/menorrhagia the proportion of uterine fibroids causing abnormal uterine bleeding - menorrhagia being the most common abnormal pattern observed - is uncertain but is usually quoted as 30­50%. This is supported by the range of seemingly contradictory models and data in the scientific literature in the field of spinal stability.

Raid, 49 years: Pain is not a problem for these people, but an inability to meet their functional goals is. The corpus luteum may persist and continue to secrete progesterone beyond its natural lifespan, and thus © 2011 Elsevier Limited. Treatment of obstructive defaecation Conservative treatment of obstructive defaecation includes bulking of the stools so that there is increased pressure of stools from above. They calculated that the increased risk accounted for an additional 11 breast cancers per 1000 women up to 75 years of age.

Harek, 37 years: Pregnancy, genital tract infections and genital tract injury are possible consequences of sexual violence, while other persistent gynaecological problems, especially abdominal pain, may be the presentation of abuse. Stages of Human Breast Development the lifecycle of the breast involves three main stages: development (and early reproductive life), mature reproductive life and involution. Pregnancy results in all the uterine ligaments being distended sometimes up to four times their normal length (Barral 1993); hormonal changes (progesterone levels); turgor effect of abdominal organs (predominantly gas); turgor effect of pelvic organs (predominantly fluid); altered pressure gradients between pulmonary, abdominal, and pelvic cavities (Barral 1993); altered organ mobility due to: adhesions or restrictions secondary to; infection; surgery; trauma (vaginal delivery, pelvic fractures, blunt trauma); visceral spasm (increased tone in smooth muscle fibers of colon or bladder); altered organ function including but not limited to: inflammatory organ conditions such as cystitis, enteritis, or prostatitis; infective conditions (urinary tract); endometriosis; fibroids/tumors/cysts. These clinical cases provide valuable insight and can generate questions for further research.

Berek, 51 years: Small studies of live yoghurt or Lactobacillus acidophilus have not demonstrated benefit. Research undertaken by the Royal College of Nursing (2003) suggests that some healthcare professionals refuse to acknowledge a same-sex partner, and deny the partner visiting rights and access to information. Preoperative Evaluation A transvaginal ultrasound report should also include an assessment of ovarian morphology as synchronous primary ovarian cancers, oestrogen-producing tumours or endometrial cancer metastasis can be identified in this way. These results are as good or better than typical rates from traditional second-line chemotherapeutic agents in this group of patients.

Chris, 60 years: The cumulative incidence rate up to 74 years of age (assuming no prior death) ranges from 5% in parts of Latin America to approximately 0. There have been anecdotal reports of fetal malformations as well as normal pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women receiving radiotherapy for breast cancer. This drug is more toxic than methotrexate, inducing some hair thinning (occasional complete alopecia), myelosuppression and more oral ulceration. Mammography during pregnancy is not advised, and ultrasound can identify cystic lesions and help to characterize solid masses (Liberman et al 1994, Ahn et al 2003).

Jaffar, 40 years: The incontinent group conversely demonstrated no difference in the amount of movement during either task. A cane (used with the opposite upper extremity) can help to reduce the loading through the hip joint when vertical. Campbell L, Keegan A, Cybulska D, Forster G 2007 Prevalence of mental health problems and deliberate self-harm in complainants of sexual violence. The focus of care will now be on her symptoms, psychological support and individual needs rather than her tumour.

Uruk, 64 years: Linea alba and diastasis rectus abdominis Universally, the most obvious visible change during pregnancy is the expansion of the abdominal wall. The spine needs not only to resist buckling, but also to allow movement at all segments to provide range of motion of the trunk, often as the body moves through space. Intracellular oxygen is important for the ionizing effects of radiation, and total hypoxia results in a dose reduction of a factor of 2­3 in most biological systems. This deprivation gap may be best explained by comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, which are more common in deprived communities (Kitchener 2008).

Tippler, 23 years: The cause of voiding dysfunction may be determined by measuring intravesical pressure simultaneously. Disease-free interval and overall survival are directly related to the number of axillary nodes that contain metastases (Fisher et al 1984, Carter et al 1989). These somatic mutations are thought to be secondary to environmental factors that act to increase the opportunity for spontaneous mutation in a number of critical genes. Summary In clinical practice, patients present with a combination of the impairments noted in this chapter in a multitude of patterns that may involve all regions (lumbar spine, pelvis, and hip(s)).
