triphalangeal thumb is characterized by the interposition of an extra-phalanx between two normal ones. in this article the authors present the case of a 24-year-old man with bilateral triphalangeal thumb of opposable type, without any other associated anomaly or genetic syndrome. the patient had triangular delta extra-phalanxes that caused ulnar deviation of both thumbs. surgical procedure for ...

Recent Semantic Web research has been largely focused on precise ontologies and knowledge representation, leaving only little space for imprecise knowledge such as rules of thumb. The result is a Semantic Web which can answer requests almost perfectly with respect to precision, but provides only a low recall. In this position paper, we envision to address this issue with a stack of Semantic Web...

osteoid osteomata are rarely found in the distal phalanges of the hand. the usual presenting features are chronic pain, nail enlargement and increase in size of the terminal part of the digit. diagnosis is difficult but surgical excision is effective for treating the patients’pain. we reported this tumor in distal phalanx of the middle finger.

In traumatic amputations in the upper extremities, replantation has been commonly attempted with high success rates. However, successful implies both maintenance of length and good functional outcomes restored hand. Since thumb accounts for 40% to 50% hand function, utmost priority is on salvage thumb. cases when not feasible, various efforts have made replace thumb, including pollicization ind...

Muscles for hand functions and movements play a major role in basic daily activities such aswriting lifting objects. The main digit of the finger differentiating gesture is thumb its muscles are intrinsic muscles. However, transradial amputees, despite loss access to muscles, any information from extrinsic would be paramount non-negotiablein creating perfect prosthesis. As such, research dedica...

The crystal structure of a ternary complex of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) heterodimer (p66/p51), a 19-base/18-base double-stranded DNA template-primer, and a monoclonal antibody Fab fragment has been determined at 3.0 A resolution. The four individual subdomains of RT that make up the polymerase domains of p66 and p51 are named fingers, palm, thumb, and ...

Software architects use a number of commonly-recognized “styles” to guide their design of system structures. Each of these is appropriate for some classes of problems, but none is suitable for all problems. How, then, does a software designer choose an architecture suitable for the problem at hand? Two kinds of information are required: (1) careful discrimination among the candidate architectur...

Measurement of the pressure applied to the anterior region of the palate and incisor region of the mandible during thumb-sucking was carried out 3 female children. A polyethylene bag embedded with a high-sensitivity small pressure sensor was fixed on the ventral side of the thumb so that the baroreceptor could be interposed between the thumb and palate during thumb-sucking. The children were al...
