Analysis of competition performance leading to success at the International Powerlifting Federation World Championships between 2013 and 2019. J Strength Cond Res 37(10): e555-e562, 2023-Despite being a global sport, there is a paucity of research investigating competition-related factors contributing to World Championship powerlifting success.

At times, this advantage may be considered a marginal gain. However, in the context of competition, marginal advantages may be the difference between winning and losing.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Vulvar cancer is a rare disease and despite broad adoption of sentinel lymph node mapping to assess groin metastases, inguino-femoral lymph node dissection still plays a role in the management of this disease. Inguino-femoral lymph node dissection is associated with high morbidity, and limited research exists to guide the best surgical approach.
Objective: To determine international practice patterns in key aspects of the inguino-femoral lymph node dissection technique and provide data to guide future research.

Background: To date, there is no evidence to support the optimal competition strategy for success in powerlifting competitions. The purpose of this study was to analyze powerlifting (PL) competition data to assess the relationship between squat attempts, the success of each lift attempt, and weight increase between attempts, with winning.
Methods: The analysis from 'raw' Powerlifting Australia sanctioned competitions held between 2008 and 2019 included 10,672 individual competition entries (males: N.
Introduction: Inguino-femoral lymph node dissection plays a crucial role in the management of vulvar cancer. The procedure is associated with high complication rates, including infection, lymphocysts/lymphoedema and wound dehiscence. Several skin incision techniques exist and practice among gynecology oncologists is variable.

Design: This study used a retrospective analysis of follow-up data.
Setting: This study was performed in the Virtual Gynaecological Oncology Centre, South Wales, United Kingdom.

Objective: To determine diagnostic performance statistics of extra-labral magnetic resonance (MR) findings for detection of labral tears in a population of patients with clinical suspicion of this diagnosis.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-nine patients clinically suspected of having a labral tear (who underwent arthroscopy) had their MR studies retrospectively reviewed to determine the presence of lateral acetabular oedema-like marrow signal, ganglia, dysplastic femoral bumps, synovial herniation pits and geodes. These findings were then correlated with the arthroscopic presence (or absence) of a labral tear.
Background: Vulval cancer is a rare gynaecological cancer. There is no standard approach for treating locally advanced primary vulval cancer (FIGO stage III and IV). Combined treatment modalities have been developed using radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery.

Subjects And Methods: Two experienced hip arthroscopists noted the prevalence and location of acetabular labral sulci in 121 patients. The study population consisted of 57 males and 64 females with an average age of 43 years (range, 16-70 years).
Divergent dislocation of the elbow is defined as a specific elbow dislocation in which the distal humerus is forced between the proximal radius and ulna, resulting in separation or divergence of the proximal forearm bones. This is an uncommon injury in children, with 14 cases reported in the last 23 years. The authors report three additional cases and the findings from cadaver elbow dissections in which the injury was reproduced.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The hip joint is becoming increasingly recognized as a source of groin pain and, in the authors' experience, buttock and low back pain.
Objectives: To determine the range of pathologic diagnoses, clinical presentation, and the correlation between magnetic resonance arthrographic, ultrasonographic, and arthroscopic findings in the hip joint.
Methods: We prospectively studied 25 consecutive hip arthroscopies to determine the range of pathologic diagnoses, clinical presentation, and the correlation between magnetic resonance arthrographic, ultrasonographic, and arthroscopic findings.
