  The pelvis is a complex, bony structure located at the base of the spine and serves as a connection between the axial skeleton and the lower limbs. It plays a vital role in supporting the weight of the upper body, providing stability during movement, and protecting the pelvic organs . Here, we will discuss the anatomy of the pelvis along with a brief description of the figures. Bony Pelvis The bony pelvis consists of four bones: Two hip bones (also called os coxae or innominate bones ) - one on each side The sacrum The coccyx Hip Bones Each hip bone is formed by the fusion of three bones during adolescence: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. The hip bones join together at the symphysis pubis anteriorly and with the sacrum posteriorly at the sacroiliac joints . Ilium: The largest and most superior part of the hip bone Consists of a body and a wing-like ala The iliac crest forms the superior border of the ala The anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the posterior su...

Title : Targeting cancer stem cells in carcinoma: an overview of recent trends and potential therapeutic options. Authors: Khwaja F, Tabassum S. Journal: Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets. 2021 Jul;25(7):705-717. Summary: This research review article provides an overview of recent trends in the targeting of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in carcinoma and potential therapeutic options. CSCs are a small population of cells within tumors that have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types, and they are thought to play a key role in tumor initiation, progression, and resistance to therapy. The article discusses various strategies for targeting CSCs, including the use of small molecule inhibitors, antibodies, and natural compounds. The authors also discuss the potential of combination therapies that target both CSCs and non-CSC tumor cells to improve treatment outcomes. Additionally, the article highlights the importance of understanding the complex mechanisms unde...

  Lecture: The Femur Bone Hello everyone, and welcome to today's lecture on the femur bone. The femur is the longest, largest, and strongest bone in the human body. It plays a crucial role in supporting our body weight and facilitating movement. Today, we will discuss the general features of the femur, its attachments, and I will provide some descriptive images. General Features of the Femur The femur is the thigh bone , and it spans from the hip to the knee. It is classified as a long bone and has three main parts: the proximal end, the shaft, and the distal end. Proximal End The proximal end of the femur consists of the head, neck, and the greater and lesser trochanters. Head The head of the femur is a large, smooth, and rounded structure that articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvic bone , forming the hip joint. The head has a small depression called the fovea capitis , where the ligamentum teres attaches, providing some stability to the hip joint. Neck Th...
