Buttock

The bartender was stock-item handsome and his trousers suggested he had been hired on the strength of his buttocks, which could have been selling collapsible gyms on cable television. He was serious, too, transacting business in his best audition voice—deep, with a trace of questioning to it. 

Cramping sensation in the leg or buttock precipitated reproducibly by walking or exercise that occurs as a result of decreased oxygen supply due to severe atherosclerotic disease of the peripheral vascular system. It typically subsides after a brief rest. 

Sreptomycin. Streptomycin is usually administered daily as a single IM injection. The preferred site is the upper outer quadrant of the buttock or die midlateral thigh. The deltoid area is used only if die area is well developed. In patients 60 years of age or older, the dosage is reduced because of die risk of increased toxicity. 

Penicillamine. The primary healHi care provider will explain Hie treatment regimen and adverse reacHons before therapy is started. You must know which toxic reactions require contacting Hie primary healHi care provider immediately. Take penicillamine on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. If other drugp are prescribed, penicillamine is taken 1 hour apart from any other drug. Observe skin areas over Hie elbows, shoulders, and buttocks for evidence of bruising, bleeding, or break in the skin (delayed wound healing may occur). If Hiese occur, do not self-treat the...

Diaper dermatitis, more commonly known as diaper rash, is a form of irritant contact dermatitis that affects the buttocks, upper thighs, lower abdomen, and genitalia of an estimated 7% to 35% of all infants.34,35 Onset of occurrence is usually between 3 weeks and 2 years of age, with the most cases reported between 9 and 12 months of age.36 More than 12 million adults who use diapers for incontinence also have an increased risk of developing diaper dermatitis.35... 

Rashes generally appear in the folds of the skin around the diaper area, thighs, genitals, and buttocks. 

Furuncles most commonly develop on the face, neck, axilla, and buttock. 

Turn around and look at the backs of your legs, buttocks, and back. Use a hand-held mirror angled to see in the full-length mirror to examine your ears, neck, scalp, back, and buttocks. 

Striae Linear, atrophic, pinkish or purplish, scar-like lesions that later become white (striae albicantes or lineae albicantes) may occur on the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, and thighs they are due to weakening of the elastic tissues commonly called stretch marks. 

Tuberoeruptive xanthomas Small yellow-red raised papules usually presenting on the elbows, knees, back, and buttocks. 

Grave wax" is a term for a crumbly, waxy substance called adipocere. Adipocere starts to form on the human body about a month after it is buried. It forms easily on the fatty parts of the body such as the cheeks, abdomen, and buttocks. The waxy adipocere protects the body from further decomposition and has even been found on 10O-year-old exhumed corpses. This buildup occurs when a body is buried in highly basic (alkaline) soil. The waxy substance is produced by a chemical reaction between the basic soil and fats in the body in a process called saponification. Saponification is also the process used in the manufacture of soap. 

Diaper dermatitis (diaper rash) is an acute, inflammatory dermatitis of the buttocks, genitalia, and perineal region. The reaction is a type of contact dermatitis, as it results from direct fecal and moisture contact with the skin in an occlusive environment. 

A combination contraceptive is available as a transdermal patch (Ortho Evra), which may have improved adherence compared to OCs. Efficacy seems to be compromised in women over 198 lb (90 kg). The patch should be applied to the abdomen, buttocks, upper torso, or upper arm at the beginning of the menstrual cycle and replaced every week for 3 weeks.

Next focus on the calves of your legs tense and relax. Continue this process upward through your entire body thighs, buttocks, abdomen,... 

In pure liquid form, lewisite causes blindness, immediate destruction of lung tissue, and systemic blood poisoning. It is absorbed through the skin like distilled mustard, but is much more toxic to the skin. Skin exposure results in immediate pain a rash forms within 30 minutes. Severe chemical burns are possible. Blistering of the skin takes up to 13 hours to develop. Lewisite does not dissolve in human sweat. It commingles with sweat, then flows to tender skin areas such as the inner arm, buttocks, and crotch. 

After skin is exposed to HN-2 an epidermal rash develops within approximately an hour. If initial exposure is very low, a rash may not develop. As with HN-1, HN-2 exposure is cumulative. If a person receives multiple low-level exposures, a rash will eventually appear. Blistering will begin about 12 hours after the onset of the skin rash. As with other blister agents, great irritation results when HN-2 vapor or liquid mixes with sweat and flows to tender skin areas (e.g., armpits, buttocks, crotch). Pulmonary effects from exposure to HN-2 are not as severe as for distilled mustard. Dry-land drowning syndrome can occur as the lungs flood with mucus, dead tissue, and blood. The victim dies from a combination of asphyxiation and heart failure. 

The impacts from inhalation are not known. Since CX dissolves in human sweat, it can flow to tender skin areas of the body (e.g., armpits, buttocks, crotch). Since its effects are instantaneous, even immediate decontamination may do little to ease pain.1 As a form of calibration, a downwind evacuation from a 55-gallon spill should be a minimum of 2.1 miles.2 See Table 3.3 for a summary of the symptoms of exposure and potential medical treatment options. 

Muscle makes up 40-50% of body mass. It is the tissue which allows one to move the limbs, which is utilized in articulating the joints of the skeleton. On closer examination all the muscles in the human body show biochemical specialization allowing them to perform their particular physiological functions the muscles in the back and buttocks evolved for continuous heavy lifting where fuel economy is important. The eyeballs are steered by extraocular muscles when reading they must contract quickly and precisely. The hollow viscera often require a slow steady squeeze to function properly. The heart muscle must provide continuous circulation of blood for transport of oxygen and nutritive substances. The different muscles in the body can be divided in three main types, which are described in the following. 

In 1992, the US FDA approved a long-acting contraceptive device containing synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) hormones. Manufactured by Pfizer, Inc., it is sold under the trade name Depo-Provera . It is typically injected into a woman s buttocks or upper arm, and renders her temporarily sterile for up to 3 months. ... 

Inject only into the muscle mass of the upper outer quadrant of the buttock (never into the arm or other exposed areas) and inject deeply with a 2- or 3-inch 19- or 20-gauge needle. If the patient is standing, have them bear their weight on the leg opposite the injection site, or if in bed, have them in a lateral position with injection site uppermost. To avoid injection or leakage into the subcutaneous tissue, a Z-track technique (displacement of the skin laterally prior to injection) is recommended. 

Inject subcutaneously or IM when possible. In older children and adults, inject IM in the upper outer quadrant of the buttocks. In infants and young children, the anterolateral aspect of the thigh or the deltoid region is preferred. When IV administration is unavoidable, inject very slowly, not exceeding 1 mg/min. Anticoagulant-induced prothrombin deficiency in adults 2.5 to 10 mg or up to 25 mg (rarely, 50 mg) initially. Determine subsequent doses by prothrombin time (PT) response or clinical condition. If in 6 to 8 hours after parenteral administration (or 12 to 48 hours after oral administration), the PT has not been shortened satisfactorily, repeat dose. If shock or excessive blood loss occurs, transfusion of blood or fresh frozen plasma may be required.
