Approximately two-thirds of all pressure sores occur on the sacrum and heels. The remaining third occur predominately on the elbows, ankles, trochanters, ischia, knees, scapulas, shoulders, or occiput.35 Pressure sores are classified according to the extent of tissue destruction.40 The staging of pressure sores is presented in Table 70-7. 

Iron-sulfur proteins serve predominantly as electron carriers (28,29). The best understood examples are those proteins with IFe, 2Fe, and 4Fe centers. The environment of the mononuclear iron center, rubredoxin, is shown in structure C (17). It consists of a distorted tetrahedral array of sulfur atoms from cysteine residues at nearly equal distances from the iron atom. Crystal structures are available for 2Fe-2S ferredoxins from Spindina plantensis (19) and Aphanothece sacrum (20). A representation of the geometry of this site is given in structure D. The 2Fe-2S core is anchored to the polypeptide by ligation to 4 cysteine sulfur atoms, yielding distorted tetrahedral geometry for both iron atoms. Crystal...

A 29-year-old woman who had had a Copper 7 lUCD inserted 3 years before developed amenorrhea (10). The intrauterine contraceptive was not in the uterine cavity and X-ray showed that it was positioned over the sacrum just to the right of the midhne and outside the uterus. It later moved to the cecum and became completely embedded in the muscular layer after penetrating the serosal surface. 

Epidural block The injection is into the outer covering (dura mater) of the spinal cord near the sacrum. 

The myxopapillary ependymoma (MXPE) appears the least glial in H E-stained slides. It is nearly always found in the region of the filum terminale, cauda equina, sacrum, and adjacent extravertebral soft tissues (see Eig. 

Spinal anesthesia follows the injection of local anesthetic into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the lumbar space. For a number of reasons, including the ability to produce anesthesia of a considerable fraction of the body with a dose of local anesthetic that produces negligible plasma levels, spinal anesthesia remains one of the most popular forms of anesthesia. In most adults, the spinal cord terminates above the second lumbar vertebra between that point and the termination of the thecal sac in the sacrum, the lumbar and sacral roots are bathed in CSF. Thus, in this region there is a relatively large volume of CSF within which to inject drug, thereby minimizing the potential for direct nerve trauma. 

Pitting edema of the sacrum would be seen in clients on bed rest. This is a symptom of CHF and would only indicate the client is getting better if the client had 3 + or 4+ edema initially. 

The 78-year-old client who had hip surgery is to receive a unit of packed red blood cells (PRBC). The nurse s assessment reveals bilateral crackles in the lungs and 2 + edema of the sacrum. The PRBCs contain 250 mL of cells and 60 mL of preservative solution. At what rate will the nurse set the IV infusion pump after the initial 15 minutes ... 

It is still common that plain radiography is performed and this will show a low obstruction early in the neonatal period (Fig. 13a). A prone lateral shoot through radiograph may be helpful in determining the level of the atresia, and allow assessment of the sacrum (Figs. 13b,c)... 

A PSARP is performed prone. A midline posterior sagittal incision is made extending from the mid level of the sacrum to the anterior edge of the external sphincter.
