The Role of Ultrasound across the Continuum of Care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common upper limb entrapment neuropathy and a leading cause of pain, functional impairment, and surgical referral. This article demonstrates the central role of ultrasound (US) across the continuum of CTS care, both for confirming the CTS diagnosis and for guiding treatments ranging from perineural injections to

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

BMC 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.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Molecular Staging, Risk Factors, Therapeutics, and Emerging Trends

Med Research, EarlyView.
The heterogeneous landscape of DPN can be unified through a tripartite pathogenic model encompassing progressive stages of metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and overt neuronal damage. Within this framework, six clinical subtypes were identified, namely, hyperglycemia‐driven, dyslipidemia‐driven, inflammation‐driven, dysvascularity‐driven ...

Carpal tunnel syndrome in wheelchair users

طب 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 ...

Investigating transthyretin variants H88R and I107V in amyloid priming: From destabilization to complete dissociation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Investigated mutations in transthyretin (TTR) disrupt the F87‐centered hydrophobic core that stabilizes its tetrameric structure. The mild I107V mutation weakens inter‐chain packing, while H88R fully abolishes tetramer formation, yielding a monomeric, aggregation‐prone form. Structural, biophysical, and computational analyses reveal that both mutations

The Underscreening of Cardiac Amyloidosis in Patients With Pacemakers—A Single Centre Retrospective Audit

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiac amyloidosis is commonly associated with cardiac conduction disease. We sought to determine the prevalence of advanced conduction disease requiring a pacemaker in patients with known cardiac amyloidosis to evaluate current screening practices among patients receiving pacemakers.

Effect of Setup Configurations of Split Computer Keyboards on Wrist Angle [PDF]

, 2001
Alternative computer keyboards whose halves can be slanted toward each other can reduce a risk factor (ulnar deviation) for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) affecting the upper limbs. Two questions that computer keyboard operators face when

Patient-Reported Disability Measures Do Not Correlate with Electrodiagnostic Severity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Electrophysiologic studies including electromyography and nerve conduction studies play a role in the evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), despite evidence that these studies do not correlate with CTS-specific symptom scores.

Soft tissue abnormalities in the congenital limb malformation radial dysplasia (RD): Their clinical impact and treatment significance

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We review the characteristic changes to the limb soft tissue and neurovascular abnormalities that have been described in the congenital limb birth defect, Radial Dysplasia. These include consistent changes in muscle anatomy or absence of specific muscles, persistent median arteries and absent radial arteries and consistent alterations in neural ...
