The posterior interosseus nerve (PIN) courses in close proximity to the bicipital tuberosity and is at potential risk of injury during distal biceps tendon repair using a single-incision technique with bicortical suspensory button, which has recently gained popularity. Axial non-fat suppressed T1-weighted MRI images elbow obtained ten patients, mean age 39 (range 16-70 years), were used measure...

We report concentrations and isotopic compositions of He, Ne, and Ar measured with high spatial resolution along a radial traverse of a silicon carbide (SiC) quadrant of the Genesis mission concentrator target. The Ne isotopic composition maps instrumental fractionation as a function of radial position in the target: the maximum observed isotopic fractionation is approximately 33& per mass unit...

Several methods for obtaining radial nerve sensory responses have been compared. A technique for antidromic latency measurement over a fixed distance most consistently produced responses which were easy to obtain, reliable and well tolerated by the subjects.

We have determined the radial velocities of the [O iii]-emitting gas in the inner narrow-line region of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068, along a slit at position angle 202 degrees, from STIS observations at a spatial resolution of 0&farcs;1 and a spectral resolving power of lambda&solm0;Deltalambda approximately 1000. We use these data to investigate the kinematics of the narrow-line region withi...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the new sensory restoration technique in radial nerve injury using the first branch of dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve as the donor sensory nerve. MATERIAL AND METHOD Forty formalin-preserved cadavers (18 males and 22 females) were used as the subjects of the present study. The localization of the origin of first branch of dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve was performed. The ...

OBJECTIVE The transradial catheterization (TRC) is becoming widespread, primarily for neurointerventions. Therefore, the evaluation of radial artery puncture in clinical practice and a better understanding of the anatomy are important to improve the safety of neuroendovascular surgery. METHODS Ten formalin-fixed adult Korean cadavers were dissected to expose radial artery (RA), brachial arter...

The average track model describes the response of physical and biological systems using radial dose distribution as the key physical descriptor. We report on an extension of this model to describe the average distribution of electron spectra as a function of radial distance from an ion. We present calculations of these spectra for ions of identical linear energy transfer (LET), but dissimilar c...

The specificity of learning in speed discrimination was examined in three psychophysical experiments. In Experiment 1, half of the observers trained with inward motion direction on a speed discrimination task, whereas the other half trained on the same task but with outward motion direction. The results indicated that significant training-based improvement transferred from a trained radial dire...
