Men’s Planet Bike ARS Seat: Competition or Standard?

I’m trying to find a replacement seat for for my road bike which I plan to use on use on century rides. Did one century last year on the stock saddle that wasn’t too kind on my backside.

I’ve narrowed down to two choices in Planet Bike’s Mens A.R.S. anatomical seats. The problem is, I can’t seem to tell the differences. Any help would be appreciated!

http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Bike-5022-Competition-Anatomic/dp/B0015RA1TW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1230320052&sr=1-5

Typically, the differences comparing a racing saddle, versus a regular saddle, is the racing are a bit narrower in the thigh area so there’s lower chance of friction in that area. Think of it as if it fits someone with really big thighs. Also, the area where the sit bones are, the racing is shaped for a position less upright than the standard. They’re also thinner on the padding and lighter too, appeasing to the gram counters.

But, since everyone’s buttocks is different, definitely try both and see what fits better. Thinner padding doesn’t mean less comfortable, as I have two bikes and the one with the thinner padding fits me better. Too thick padding, as in some comfort bikes, are actually not good for long rides since your sit bones sinks into the saddles and restrict some blood flow.

If I have the choice of these two, I would probably pick the competition fit, since it looks like its more for road bikes; the other one seemed more for hybrid/mountain bikes. But, again, I would much prefer to test them out first before I buy.

Anatomical Pathology


Anatomical Pathology


$78.07


Anatomical pathology (Commonwealth) or Anatomic pathology (U.S.) is a medical specialty that is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the gross, microscopic, chemical, immunologic and molecular examination of organs, tissues, and whole bodies (autopsy). Anatomical pathology is itself divided in subspecialties, the main ones being surgical pathology, cytopathology and forensic pathology. To be licensed to practice pathology, one has to complete medical school and secure a license to practice medicine. An approved residency program and certification (in the U.S., the American board of Pathology or the American Osteopathic Board of Pathology) is usually required to obtain employment or hospital privileges. Anatomical pathology is one of two branches of pathology, the other being clinical pathology, the diagnosis of disease through the laboratory analysis of bodily fluids and/or tissues. Often, pathologists practice both anatomical and clinical pathology, a combination known as general pathology.

Addressing acupuncture from a unique perspective, Acupuncture: An Anatomical Approach abandons the traditional oriental medicine approach in favor of a carefully analytic scientific presentation. The tightly-focused book describes the progression of chronic pain in the peripheral nervous system, demonstrates that points conducting pain impulses through the peripheral nerves become more tender to palpation throughout life in response to episodes of pain, and they do this in a predictable sequence. This sequence, expressed as a …pain quantification,… has important prognostic significance to the person’s response, not just to acupuncture, but also to any other intervention. Describing the progression of chronic pain in the peripheral nervous system,

Anatomical Terms And Their Derivation


Anatomical Terms And Their Derivation


$36.4


Anatomical terms are the vocabulary of medicine. Anatomy began as a descriptive science in the days when Latin was the universal scientific language. Early anatomists described the structures they saw in that language, comparing them to common and familiar objects, or borrowing terms from the Greek and Arabic masters before them. In anatomic terminology, common Latin or Greek words are used as such for any part of the body for which the ancients had a name. For many other structures, scientific names have been invented either by using certain classical words which appear to be descriptive of the part concerned, or commonly, by combining Greek or Latin roots to form a new compound term. Memorization of such terms without understanding their meaning can lead to mental indigestion. As an aid to comprehension, this book also presents the roots from which many of these descriptive terms and compounds are derived. For practical convenience, the book is organized into abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes, general terms common to all body regions, short lists for each major body part, and an alphabetical list covering the entire body. This pocket-sized handbook is essential for anyone wishing to learn and understand medical terms.

Anatomical Guide for the Electromyographer


Anatomical Guide for the Electromyographer


$49.95


This invaluable book for the electromyographer dispenses the latest techniques detailing methods of intramuscular electrode placement. The author examines the basic principles in electromyography (EMG) and includes updated information for the appendicular and axial muscles. It is divided into 14 sections organized by anatomical region: the muscles of the hand, forearm, arm, shoulder girdle, foot, leg, thigh, pelvis, hip joint, perineal region, paraspinal region, abdominal wall, the intercostals and diaphragm regions, along with the muscles innervated by cranial nerves. This information includes the innervations and attachments of each muscle, how to position the patient for examination, the appropriate site for insertion of the electrode, the depth of insertion for the electrode, and the action that the patient should perform to activate the muscle. The descriptions of the techniques used for rarely examined muscles are sufficient for a clinician to have the confidence needed to perform the procedure. Common errors in electrode placement and clinically relevant comments are illustrated and discussed, including cross-sectional illustrations on the appendicular muscles. A particularly useful inclusion is “Pitfalls” that describes which muscle the electrode will record if the needle is placed too deep, not deep enough, or not at the location described. The text contains a useful appendix, providing dermatomes of the limb and trunk, cutaneous innervations of the head, and excellent illustrations of both the brachial plexus and the lumbo-sacral-coccygeal plexus. The appendix also contains a useful table listing all muscles that are presented in the text with innervations from the peripheral nerve to the mixed spinal nerve root. Well organized, clearly and concisely written, this book remains a learning tool and excellent reference for electromyographers and for healthcare practitioners who are expanding their practice skills to include diagnostic EMG, as well as for graduate students who use EMG as part of their research.
