Electromyography and conduction studies in motor and sensory fibres were performed in 58 patients with different types of radial nerve injury. The site of nerve injury was predicted by clinical and electromyographic findings and correlated with changes in conduction, thereby permitting a more exact classification of the type of nerve injury. In patients with Saturday-night palsy, there was cons...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to calculate central motor conduction time (CMCT) of median and ulnar nerves in normal volunteers. Conduction time across the lower part of the brachial plexus was measured by using magnetic stimulation over the motor cortex and brachial plexus and recording the evoked response in hand muscles. DESIGN This descriptive study was done on 112 upper limbs...

This report describes a 55-year-old woman in whom yellow scorpion sting resulted in the development of Mobitz type 1 and transient complete heart blocks unresponsive to atropine administration.  It might be concluded that although autonomic involvement including parasympathetic overactivity is present in such cases, other factors such as toxic damage to the cardiac conduction system may play a ...

BACKGROUND It is well known that reducing tissue temperature changes sensory and motor nerve conduction. However, few studies have compared the effect of different cold modalities on nerve conduction parameters. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of ice pack, ice massage, and cold water immersion on the conduction parameters of the sural (sensorial) and tibial moto...

Background: A nerve conduction velocity test measures how quickly electrical impulses move along a nerve in order to exclude or detect muscle disorders. The objective of this study was to study the pattern of electrophysiological variables in motor nerves for detection of neuropathy. Methods: This experimental study was carried out in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Jinn...

abstract background: different adjuvant drugs have been used with local anesthetics in order to decrease the time of onset and elongate the duration and quality of regional blocks. this study was performed to study the effects of one of the adjuvants, verapamil, in supraclavicular block. methods: in this double blinded clinical trial, we divided 60 asa class i and ii patients who were to underg...

examination unremarkable except for some skin changes in the previously irradiated area. Chest x ray and bone scan were normal. Myelography revealed minor posterior pro-trusion of L5/S1 disc on flexion of the back. Cerebrospinal fluid contained normal cellular constituents but elevated protein at 0-8 g/litre. Motor conduction velocities in left posterior tibial and both lateral popliteal nerves...

OBJECTIVE The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate the complications, particularly conduction blocks, subsequent morbidity and mortality, and effect of thrombolytic therapy in Indian patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI). METHODS This was a prospective, observational, single-center study conducted at LPS Institute of Cardiology, Kanpur, from December 2011 to May...

thermal resistance of the external walls of buildings is highly important for reducing and optimizing the energy consumption needed for heating and cooling the buildings. identifying and evaluation of the thermal performance of common external wall systems can be very effective in improving the heat resistance. the hollow clay- block system extremely are in use in the iran construction system, ...
