Pelvic fins are absent, and relatively small pectoral fin can be found near the midline, followed the head and gill-covers.

Pelvic fins are absent.

Pelvic fins have 5-10 soft rays and possibly a spine, 5-10 dorsal fin spines and up to 4 anal fin spines.

Pelvic floor dysfunction may be the underlying cause of some women's pain.

In women, the signs and symptoms are discharge from vagina, burning or pain when urinating, anal or oral infections, abdominal pain, or abnormal vaginal bleeding, which may be an indication that the infection has progressed to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.

Pelvic examination may reveal an ovarian or abdominal mass.

This condition may cause blood in the urine < STRONG > Ureteral Pelvic Junction Obstruction ( UPJ ) / Ureteral Obstruction </ STRONG >

Pelvic floor exercise ( PFE ), also known as Kegel exercises, may improve the tone and function of the pelvic floor muscles, which is of particular benefit for women ( and less commonly men ) who experience stress urinary incontinence.

Pelvic floor muscle tone may be estimated using a perineometer, which measures the pressure within the vagina.

Pelvic floor dysfunction may include any of a group of clinical conditions that includes urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, sensory and emptying abnormalities of the lower urinary tract, defecatory dysfunction, sexual dysfunction and several chronic pain syndromes, including vulvodynia.

Notably, in February 2003 the European Association of Urology in its Guidelines on Pelvic Pain said that expert centers in Europe have found no cases of PNE and that surgical success is rare:

In 2007, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases ( NIDDK ) began using the umbrella term Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes ( UCPPS ) to refer to pain syndromes associated with the bladder ( i. e. interstitial cystitis / bladder pain syndrome, IC / BPS ) and the prostate gland ( i. e. Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome ).

Pelvic inflammatory disease ( or disorder ) ( PID ) is a term for inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and / or ovaries as it progresses to scar formation with adhesions to nearby tissues and organs.

* Pelvic inflammatory disease in conjunction with other antibiotics such as ofloxacin, levofloxacin, or ceftriaxone

* Pelvic Floor Video Video with overview of pelvic floor muscles and related physical therapy exercises

It is also known as Pick disease and PiD ( not to be confused with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease ( PID ) or Parkinson's Disease ( PD )).

The Pelvic Pain Urgency / Frequency ( PUF ) Patient Survey, created by C. Lowell Parsons, is a short questionnaire that will help physicians identify if pelvic pain could be coming from the bladder.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is a fairly new area of specialty for physical therapists world wide.

* Pelvic Myoneuropathy-a new explanation for painful bladder.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is more likely to occur when there is a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, recent sexual contact, recent onset of menses, or an IUD in place or if the partner has a sexually transmitted infection.

Pelvic and vaginal ultrasounds are helpful in the differential diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy of over six weeks.

Pelvic inflammatory disease results if N. gonorrhoeae travels into the pelvic peritoneum ( via the cervix, endometrium and fallopian tubes ).

Pelvic lipomatosis: a condition simulating pelvic neoplasm.

Pregnancy related Pelvic Girdle Pain is a significant musculoskeletal disorder that begins in pregnancy and for some women last for years.

Uterine prolapse ( or Pelvic organ prolapse ) occurs when the female pelvic organs fall from their normal position, into or through the vagina.

Pelvic splanchnic nerves are the primary source for parasympathetic innervation.

Pelvic physical therapy involves both external and internal modalities.

Pelvic Muscle Dysfunction Biofeedback ( PMDB ) encompasses " elimination disorders and chronic pelvic pain syndromes.

" The BCIA didactic education requirement includes a 28-hour course from a regionally-accredited academic institution or a BCIA-approved training program that covers the complete Pelvic Muscle Dysfunction Biofeedback Blueprint of Knowledge and study of human anatomy and physiology.

The Pelvic Muscle Dysfunction Biofeedback areas include: I.

Pelvic Floor Anatomy, Assessment, and Clinical Procedures, III.

Clinical Disorders: Bowel Dysfunction, and V. Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes.

In contemporary vessels, they may be gyroscopically controlled active fins, which have the capacity to change their angle of attack to counteract roll caused by wind or waves acting on the ship.

However, TCPI is no longer considered a viable method of propellant ignition because it may damage the fins and does not deliver energy as efficiently as a FLARE igniter.

Rail fins evolved into being and surged into popularity as riders ( Simon Anderson, most famously ) sought a solution to two major performance issues of a central " single " fin-both related to engagement of the foil: For one, a centrally-mounted fin is tilted up out of the water as the board is leaned over, and thus it loses more and more of its lift as the lean angle increases-if the lean angle is acute enough, the fin's tip can be the only area left in the water ; the tip may then rapidly stall and, having lost its lift, become disengaged from the water, leaving the board's bottom as the only control surface still operating.

However, because of the large, scarred and nicked dorsal fins resembling those of mammal-hunting transients, they may also eat mammals and sharks.

The dorsal and anal fins are divided into anterior spiny and posterior soft-rayed portions, which may be partially or completely separated.

Jawed vertebrates are typified by paired appendages ( fins or legs, which may be secondarily lost ), but this is not part of the definition of vertebrates as a whole.

Maneuvering may be achieved by various methods, such as drag fins that project through the bubble into the surrounding liquid ( p. 22 ), by tilting the flat surface on the nose of the object, by injecting gas asymmetrically near the nose of the object in order to distort the geometry of the cavity, or by vectoring rocket thrust by gimballing or differentiating nozzle thrusts.

The exchanger's performance can also be affected by the addition of fins or corrugations in one or both directions, which increase surface area and may channel fluid flow or induce turbulence.

Petrol engines may be air-cooled, with fins ( to increase the surface area on the cylinders and cylinder head ); or liquid-cooled, by a water jacket and radiator.

They engage in ritualised courtship displays, which may consist of rapid bursts of motion, chasing or nipping females, stationary hovering, or wide extension of the fins.

A flying wing may have various small protuberances such as pods, nacelles, blisters, booms, vertical stabilizers ( tail fins ), or undercarriage.

Catsharks may be distinguished by their elongated cat-like eyes and two small dorsal fins set far back.

Alternatively, it may surprise its prey by curving its body and, bracing itself with its posteriorly positioned fins, launching a quick strike forward in the manner of a snake.

At issue was Fédération Internationale de Natation ( FINA ) rule 10. 7, which stated " No swimmer shall use any device that may aid his speed, buoyancy, or endurance during a competition ( such as webbed gloves, flippers, fins etc ).

Most of its fins ( dorsal, pectoral, pelvic, and caudal ) have white tips ( juvenile specimens and some adults may lack these ).

Along with white tips, the fins may be mottled — and in young specimens can have black marks.

A saddle-like marking may be apparent between first and second dorsal fins.

The movement of a such a large bubble to the legs can be a problem for a number of reasons: It balloons the legs, and it may inflate thin rubber booties enough to cause fins to pop off ; a diver without fins has more restricted ability to move and become upright, and also loses the ability to kick downward to maintain depth, so that the bubble expansion problem does not grow worse.

Another problem with a frogman who may have to come ashore and operate on land is the awkwardness of walking on land in fins, unless he plans to discard his kit and return to base by some other way than by diving, or if the frogmen plan to take and hold a position on land until other troops arrive.

In biology, rhomboid may describe a geometric rhomboid ( e. g. the rhomboid muscles ) or a bilaterally-symmetrical kite-shaped or diamond-shaped outline, as in leaves or cephalopod fins

In bony fish, most fins may have spines or rays.

** Certain rays of the pectoral fins may be adapted into finger-like projections, such as in sea robins and flying gurnards.

The Tully Monster had a pair of fins not unlike a cuttlefish at the tail end of its body, and possibly vertical fins as well ( though the fidelity of preservation of fossils of its soft body makes this difficult to determine ), and a long proboscis with eight small sharp teeth with which it may have probed actively for small creatures and edible detritus in the muddy bottom.
