The split-elbow index: A biomarker of the split elbow sign in ALS
Objective: The split elbow sign is a clinical feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), characterised by preferential weakness of biceps brachii muscle compared to triceps.

Split hand syndrome and the split hand index in ALS patients [PDF]
Our objective has been a review of the recent data available in reference to the split hand clinical sign in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and its novel electrophysiological counterpart the split hand index (SHI).

Exploring the split hand phenomenon with the neurophysiological index
In 164 subjects of different age groups, we studied the neurophysiological index (NI) ([CMAP amplitude/Distal motor latency] *[F-wave frequency]; CMAP=compound muscle action potential) for three hand muscles (APB= abductor pollicis brevis; FDI= first dorsal interosseous; ADM= abductor digiti minimi). A split hand index based on CMAP amplitude (SHI_CMAP)

The Index and Split Forms of Linear Differential-Algebraic Equations
We consider linear systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE) with rectangular matrices of coefficients, including the case when the matrix before the derivative of the desired vector function is not full rank for all argument values from the ...

Inconsistency was more prevalent than reported: an empirical study of 57 networks with multiple treatments using the node-splitting approach and a novel interpretation index [PDF]
Background Inconsistency has been reported to be ubiquitous in network meta-analysis. However, this evidence is based on statistical tests for inconsistency with well-documented power limitations.

Split limb phenomenon in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: electrophysiologic study
Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disease that affects the upper and lower motor neurons. The onset of the disease is frequently focal, usually involving the distal segments of the extremities.

We set out to assess the diagnostic utility of the split hand index (SHI) for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and also to see if and how it can be applied to severely atrophied muscles, a frequent finding in this setting. We enrolled 38 patients from

A method for searching splitting surface considering network splitting adaptation index
Abstract As an effective control measure to ensure uninterrupted power supply to critical loads under extreme faults, network splitting is of great significance for maintaining system safety and stability. The purpose of this study is to develop a method to accurately and quickly find a reasonable splitting surface and reliably ...
