Nerve Conduction: A Comparative Study in Males and Females of Haryana
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nerve conduction studies have become an important non invasive tool for diagnosis of nerve lesions. Among the various factors affecting nerve conduction gender may have a significant role. This study was planned to study the effect of gender on various parameters of nerve conduction. Nerve conduction study data of 30 males and female subject was obtained retrospectively from the lab records and analyzed. The motor nerve conduction studies for median and ulnar nerve revealed a statistically significant difference in distal motor latency and amplitude in ulnar nerve on both the sides. The amplitude was non significantly higher in females than males in both the limbs for both the nerves. Difference in conduction velocity for both the nerves on either side was obvious but not statistically significant. It was higher in females than in males.

Background: The pneumatic tourniquet (PT) is routinely used in upper and lower limb operations by most orthopaedic surgeons. The silicone ring tourniquet (SRT) was introduced in clinical practice the last decade. Clinical as well comparative studies in volunteers concerning its safety and efficacy have been published. The aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative effect of the si...

Background: Nerve conduction velocities (NCV) represent the most accurate methods to study the peripheral nerves owing to their ability in diagnosing nerve-related conditions. It helps to distinguish between a true nerve disorder and conditions where muscles are affected due to a nerve injury. However, there are considerable differences in reference values for NCV in different nerves with respe...

Endoscopic radial artery harvesting (ERAH) is a feasible and attractive minimally invasive approach for conduit procurement, however there have been concerns about a potential neurological damage occurring at the harvest limb site secondary to injury of the radial nerve during endoscopic harvesting. We present a case of ERAH in which we evaluated intraoperatively the characteristics of radial n...

Abstract Introduction: neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nervous system is disrupted. The study of the effects of antioxidants on the performance improvement of this system is vital. This study was aimed at the investigation of the effects of date extract on nerve conduction velocity, distal latency, and wave height of the sciatic nerve in male rats. Materials and Methods: thi...
متن کاملMedian nerve F wave conduction in healthy subjects over age sixty-five.
Parameters of the median nerve F wave and peripheral motor nerve conduction in 51 healthy male and female human subjects 67 to 89 years of age are described. F wave responses were elicited by stimulation of the nerve at the wrist. Motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) was determined for the forearm segment. Major results of this study of an older group of subjects demonstrate that: 1) the shor...
