FIGO good practice recommendations: Assisted vaginal birth and the second stage of labor

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cesarean birth (CB) rates are increasing globally, with a current prevalence of 21.1% and a projected prevalence of 28.5% by 2030. Conversely, assisted vaginal birth (AVB) rates are declining, with reported rates of less than 10% in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) and 10%–15% in high‐income countries (HICs). In some African countries,

Sonographic localisation of lymph nodes suspicious of metastatic breast cancer to surgical axillary levels

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 119-138, March 2025.
Sonographic imaging is used to identify the presence, number and location of malignant lymph nodes. Axillary lymph nodes suspicious of harbouring breast cancer metastasis can be localised to three surgical axillary levels. This paper will unpack the axillary anatomy, muscular sonographic landmarks, surgical axillary lymph node levels and the ...

Brachial Plexus Injury in Adults

, 2017
Brachial plexus injury (BPI) is a severe peripheral nerve injury affecting upper extremities, causing functional damage and physical disability. The most common cause of adult BPI is a traffic accident, and the incidence has steadily increased since the ...

Clinical significance of cervical MRI in brachial plexus birth injury

Acta Orthopaedica, 2019
Background and purpose — Patient selection for nerve surgery in brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) is difficult. Decision to operate is mostly based on clinical findings. We assessed whether MRI improves patient selection.

High‐Resolution Ultrasound of Clinically Relevant Sensory Nerves of the Arm and the Forearm

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Technological advancements in ultrasound systems, particularly the development of high‐ and ultra‐high‐frequency transducers, now allow for the detailed evaluation of sub‐millimetric sensory nerves in the upper limb, extending to their distal branches. This provides invaluable insights in patients with suspected neuropathies.

Predictive Values of Preoperative Compound Muscle Action Potential Amplitude for Surgical Outcomes in Idiopathic Ulnar Neuropathy at the Elbow

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introductions/Aims Despite numerous studies on ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE), the predictive value of preoperative compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude for postoperative intrinsic function remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive values of preoperative CMAP amplitude for surgical outcomes in idiopathic ...

Ultrasonographic evaluation of ulnar innervated muscles in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Quantitative muscle ultrasound (qMUS) provides morphological measurements that can support clinical observation of muscle atrophy and weakness. As the use of qMUS continues to expand, and its potential for broader implementation in neuromuscular evaluation grows, there is a clear need for further validation, particularly in ...
