Disease relevance of Coccyx

• RESULTS: Epidurally administered xylazine induced perineal analgesia and variable bilateral caudal analgesia extending from the coccyx to S3 dermatome, with minimal cardiovascular and respiratory depression, head ptosis, changes in position of pelvic limbs, and no urination in standing mares [1].

High impact information on Coccyx

• The expression profiles of TRAP, RANK, and RANKL proteins in the coccyx specimens were similar to the pattern of serum TRAP activity, while the profiles of the BAP and OPG proteins were similar to the pattern of serum BAP activity in OVX rats [2].
• All patients were studied with a large FOV (27 cm), covering from the coccyx to at least the body of T11 [3].
• The following items were recorded: presence of an initial traumatic event, elapsed time before investigation, body mass index, presence of an acute pain when passing from sitting to standing, effect of intradiscal steroid injection, and angle of the coccyx with respect to the seat [4].
• Epidurally administered detomidine induced perineal analgesia, variable bilateral analgesia with dermatomal spread ranging from coccyx to S3 and coccyx to T15, with cardiovascular depression, marked head ptosis, changes in position of pelvic limbs, and diuresis in standing mares [1].
• The procedure consisted of (1) natal cleft incision, (2) midline separation of the levator muscle, (3) dissection of two thirds of the circumference of the rectum, (4) plication of the posterior wall of the rectum using U-shaped mattress sutures, and (5) fixation of the sutures of the rectal wall to the coccyx [5].

Associations of Coccyx with chemical compounds

• Epidurally administered xylazine induced caudal analgesia (S3 to coccyx), as evaluated by no response to superficial and deep muscular pinprick, and induced sedation, cardiopulmonary depression, and inhibition of rumen motility, but all cattle remained standing [6].
• Tolazoline effectively reversed xylazine-induced rumen hypomotility, and partially antagonized xylazine-induced cardiopulmonary depression without affecting sedation and desirable local (S3 to coccyx) analgesic effects [6].

Gene context of Coccyx

• The superficial and deep layers of the external sphincter are identified by electrostimulation and split, with the coccyx, in the midline [7].
• A 57-year-old man presented with a classic chordoma in the coccyx [8].
• The Delta foam overlay produced comparable pressures to the Efica low-air-loss bed when measuring the coccyx and heel interface pressures [9].
