Background: Piriformis syndrome, an often-overlooked cause of sciatica, commonly presents as chronic gluteal pain and poses a diagnostic challenge, particularly in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
Purpose: To examine piriformis muscle abnormalities on sacroiliac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and their association with clinical outcomes in patients with axSpA.
Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 100 axSpA patients (50 radiographic [r-axSpA], 50 non-radiographic [nr-axSpA]), classified by the 2009 ASAS Axial Spondyloarthritis criteria, who underwent MRI evaluations of the sacroiliac joints over a 6-month period.
The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility, test-retest reliability, and construct validity of the 2-min step test (2MST) in measuring aerobic exercise capacity and functional endurance in participants with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Fifty participants with quadriceps tendon autograft, bone-patellar tendon-bone graft, or hamstring autograft were included. Feasibility was assessed by the time and support required to complete the measures and the feedback from participants, including their satisfaction ratings.

- The Hedgehog signaling pathway is important for folliculogenesis, but its relationship with FF-MAS oxysterol in this process, especially in conditions like PCOS, is not well understood.
- *The study found that FF-MAS enhances the proliferation of granulosa cells (GCs) and increases key Hedgehog pathway components (SMO and Gli1) even in the presence of an inhibitor, suggesting its significant role in follicular development.
- *Ultimately, this research could lead to new strategies for improving human IVF treatments by leveraging FF-MAS's effects on GCs and folliculogenesis.
