What's the difference between gluteal and pluteal?
Gluteal
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, or in the region of, the glutaeus.
Example Sentences:
(1) Muscle weakness and atrophy were most marked in the distal parts of the legs, especially in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, and then spread to the thighs and gluteal muscles.
(2) To estimate the age of onset of these differences, and to assess their relationship to abdominal and gluteal adipocyte size, we measured adiposity, adipocyte size, and glucose and insulin concentrations during a glucose tolerance test in lean (less than 20% body fat), prepubertal children from each race.
(3) These are related to the insertions and fascial investments of the iliopsoas, pyriformis, and obturator internus muscles and the ensheathed penetrations of the superior gluteal arteries.
(4) The combination of triradiate epiphyseal closure and abductor muscle weakness secondary to superior gluteal nerve damage contributed to subsequent femoral head subluxation.
(5) Retroperitoneal hematoma with lumbar plexopathy was suspected, but a computerized tomographic scan revealed instead hemorrhage into the gluteal muscles.
(6) Prevention of sciatic injection neuropathy can best be accomplished by teaching that the injection should be made into the gluteal mass in the upper outer quadrant rather than the buttock, and that the needle should be introduced in a plane perpendicular to the surface of the bed when the patient is lying prone.
(7) Three of these four patients revealed a decrease of gluteal muscle volume.
(8) This case also stresses the importance of inspection of the tongue, and palpation of the gluteal region for masses, in the assessment of patients with dialysis arthropathy.
(9) Gluteal adipose tissue was examined in 13 patients with generalized adiposis dolorosa, a clinical condition characterized by painful adiposity with a chronic intractable course.
(10) During operation the insertion of the gluteal minimus muscle to the trochanter was carefully detached in a way that only the fibres of the gluteus medius remained on the bone.
(11) Following dapsone injection in gluteal subcutaneous adipose tissue, a sufficiently sustained absorption for this purpose has been reported.
(12) Metastases were demonstrated in the psoas, iliac, and middle gluteal muscles.
(13) The anatomy of the caudal gluteal artery and vein, as well as the arterial blood flow, were studied.
(14) Large defects in the lumbosacral and perineal regions were reconstructed with bilateral gluteal thigh flaps.
(15) Gluteal adipocytes in the newborn show a rise in carnitine content and in the activity of carnitine transferases soon after birth, when values are higher than in the adult.
(16) Because these granulomas resemble granuloma gluteale infantum, but occurred in adults rather than in the aged or infants, we propose to call this condition "granuloma gluteale adultorum."
(17) Paralytic drop foot was diagnosed on an average of 5.5 months after intra-gluteal injections.
(18) Our studies on the gluteal (Tuttle et al., '78) and thigh muscles of African apes partly confirm Kummer's ('75) prediction that considerable gluteal and hamstring activity would be required in order for them to stand bipedally with flexed hip and knee joints.
(19) It can be designed on the musculocutaneous perforators of the gluteal system alone or on its dual circulation.
(20) The triceps and gluteal muscle samples were also serially sectioned and stained for myofibrillar actomyosin adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity after alkaline (pH 10.3) and sequential acidic (pH 4.34) ATPase inactivation.
