OBJECTIVE
Abdominal obesity is considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
OBJECTIVE
To compare the distance between the lower edge of xiphisternum and the center of the umbilicus (XUD) with other anthropometric measurements in predicting risk factors for CVD.
METHODS
A
BACKGROUND
It has been shown that possible influence of body weight is more evident for coronary than aortic atherosclerosis; and more in men than women. Coronary heart disease due to obesity in males becomes significant when body mass index (BMI) exceeds 30 (30% overweight) and does not affect the
To examine the relationship between the umbilicus, major abdominal vessels, and transverse colon in males with differing body habitus, we conducted a prospective study including 91 male patients who underwent computerized tomography scan examinations. Of 91 males, 40 were normal weight, 27
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to determine the location and vertical distance of the umbilicus relative to the aortic bifurcation using computed tomography (CT), and assess their relationship with BMI among Turkish women and their implications for laparoscopic entry.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study included
OBJECTIVE
To study the anatomic relationship of the umbilicus to the retroperitoneal major vessels and the characteristics of such relationships among the Chinese with different body weights so as to provide a clear reference to the operator of laparoscopy.
METHODS
Eighty-nine patients without
The location of the umbilicus was measured in 100 randomly selected non-obese subjects. It was found that a line drawn from the highest level of the crest of one ilium to the same point on the other side will transect the umbilicus in 96 percent of the subjects. This relationship can be of use
Nevoid acanthosis nigricans is a rare, benign form of acanthosis nigricans. Of the 24 cases documented in the literature, only two are exclusively localized to the umbilicus. We present four cases of nevoid acanthosis nigricans localized to the umbilicus; in patients less than 25 years of age, with
OBJECTIVE
To determine the cephalocaudal relationship among the umbilicus, aortic bifurcation, and iliac vessels by direct measurement during laparoscopy.
METHODS
Prospective, consecutive study (Canadian Task Force classification II-1).
METHODS
Tertiary referral center.
METHODS
Ninety-seven women
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the vertical distance between umbilicus to aortic bifurcation on coronal view in Korean women and their relation with body mass index (BMI) and woman's age.
METHODS
This retrospective study included 257 women who visited emergency center at university-based hospital from
OBJECTIVE
The most widely used conduit when creating continent urinary diversion based on the Mitrofanoff principle has been appendicovesicostomy. However, appendix is not always available and it is increasingly used for the antegrade continence enema in situ appendix procedure. In 1993 the
BACKGROUND
Abdominal lipectomy is becoming an increasingly common surgical procedure in patients with esthetic deformities resulting from massive weight loss induced by bariatric surgery. Sometimes a midline incisional hernia coexists with the pendulus abdomen. Herein presented is a technique to
The aims of this study were to determine the validity of fat mass of the trunk as a predictor for visceral fat area at the umbilicus level and to develop equations to predict visceral fat mass at the umbilicus level using fat mass of the trunk measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the location of the umbilicus relative to the aortic bifurcation and the left common iliac vein where it crosses the midline.
METHODS
Abdominal computed tomography images from 35 reproductive-age women were retrospectively reviewed to determine the location of the umbilicus.
