Precision of ultrasound-guided versus anatomical palpation-guided needle placement of the ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel: a cadaveric study [PDF]
Percutaneous electrical stimulation has been performed for years with only the assistance of anatomical landmarks. The development of real-time ultrasonography guidance has improved the precision and safety of these percutaneous interventions.

CUBIT: Capacitive qUantum BIT [PDF]
In this letter, it is proposed that cryogenic quantum bits can operate based on the nonlinearity due to the quantum capacitance of two-dimensional Dirac materials, and in particular graphene. The anharmonicity of a typical superconducting quantum bit is calculated, and the sensitivity of quantum bit frequency and anharmonicity with respect to ...

Multiple Regression Analysis for Grading and Prognosis of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome:Assessment of Akahori’s Classification [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate Akahori's preoperative classification of cubital tunnel syndrome. We analyzed the results for 57 elbows that were treated by a simple decompression procedure from 1997 to 2004.

CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME: REVIEW OF 14 ANTERIOR SUBCUTANEOUS TRANSPOSITIONS OF THE VASCULARIZED ULNAR NERVE [PDF]
Anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve is widely implemented for treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. However, preservation of the extrinsic blood supply of the ulnar nerve may result in better clinical outcomes.

Cubital tunnel syndrome in Noonan syndrome secondary to hypoplasia of the humeral trochlea
This report describes the case of a 45-year-old woman with Noonan syndrome who developed cubital tunnel syndrome secondary to hypoplasia of the humeral trochlea. Cubital tunnel syndrome, the second-most common peripheral compression neuropathy, is caused

Evaluation and Management of Sleep Disorders in the Hand Surgery Patient. [PDF]
Despite posing a significant public health threat, sleep disorders remain poorly understood and often underdiagnosed and mismanaged. Although sleep disorders are seemingly unrelated, hand surgeons should be mindful of these because numerous conditions of

Future considerations in the diagnosis and treatment of compressive neuropathies of the upper extremity [PDF]
Compressive neuropathies of the upper extremity are among the most common conditions seen by hand surgeons. The diagnoses of carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome have traditionally been made by a combination of history, physical examination,

Management of cubital tunnel syndrome by anterior trans-muscular transposition of the ulnar nerve
Background Various surgical options are used for the treatment of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow. In this study, anterior trans-muscular transposition of the ulnar nerve was used for the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome.
