Universal tunneling time for all fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Tunneling is an important physical process. The observation that particles surmount a high mountain in spite of the fact that they don't have the necessary energy cannot be explained by classical physics. However, this so called tunneling became allowed by quantum mechanics. Experimental tunneling studies with different photonic barriers from microwave

Exploring Divergent Electrodiagnostic and Sonographic Findings in Patients With Suspected Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Role of Median Nerve Cross‐Sectional Area

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Evaluate electrophysiologic and sonographic findings in hands with divergent electrodiagnostic and ultrasound imaging examinations in patients with suspected carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve cross‐section area was the most reliable and clinically meaningful factor in hands with divergent electrodiagnostic and ultrasound imaging examination ...

Novel Quantum Spin Assisted Tunneling in Half Metallic Manganite Tunnel Junctions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The electron tunneling in half metallic manganite tunnel junctions is studied by using a quantum mechanically treated double exchange model. We show that the stimulation of spin excitations, caused by the strong Hund's coupling between the conduction $e_g$ electrons and the localized quantum spins of the manganite ions, would assist electrons to tunnel

Association between smartphone use, sleep deprivation, and self‐rated health outcomes: A retrospective observational survey in rural Japan

open access: yesJournal of General and Family Medicine, EarlyView.
Our study aimed to investigate the association among good SRH outcomes, sleep deprivation, and smartphone overuse. Good SRH outcomes were negatively associated with sleep deprivation and smartphone overuse. The group that used their smartphones for more than 1 h slept approximately 0.12–0.13 h less than within 1 h.

Carpal tunnel syndrome in wheelchair users

open access: yesطب جانباز, 2010
Background: Compression of median nerve at carpal tunnel or carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy. Due to over use of hand in wheelchair users, it is possible that carpal tunnel syndrome be more prevalent in them ...

Splinting or surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome? Design of a randomized controlled trial [ISRCTN18853827]

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2001
Background Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common disorder, which can be treated with surgery or conservative options. However, there is insufficient evidence and no consensus among physicians with regard to the preferred treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Investigating the Mechanism of Conditioning Versus Postoperative Electrical Stimulation to Enhance Nerve Regeneration: One Therapy, Two Distinct Effects

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regeneration after peripheral nerve injury is often insufficient for functional recovery. Postoperative electrical stimulation (PES) following injury and repair significantly improves clinical outcomes; recently, conditioning electrical stimulation (CES), delivered before nerve injury, has been introduced as a candidate for clinical ...

Sickness absence from work among persons with new physician-diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome: a population-based matched-cohort study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Carpal tunnel syndrome is common among employed persons. Data on sickness absence from work in relation to carpal tunnel syndrome have been usually based on self-report and derived from clinical or occupational populations. We aimed to determine sickness

Peripheral Nervous System Involvement of Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis in the United States: A Multi‐Center Perspective

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder that occurs worldwide. The most common mutation in the United States, V142I, has previously been described as having a primarily cardiac presentation.

Sonographic Imaging of the Superficial Radial Nerve and its Branches: A Pictorial Review

open access: yesSonography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Entrapment of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) can be a source of radial wrist, dorsal hand, and thumb pain which can be challenging to clinically differentiate from other pathological entities. Ultrasound allows direct visualization of the SRN and its branches as well as the assessment of the site, extent, and type of nerve injury or ...
