Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment compressive neuropathy in the upper limbs. It is often correlated with personal factors of individuals, not only with certain medical conditions and jobs. The study aimed at clarifying the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with anthropometric characteristics of the hand and body mass index (BMI) as independent risk factor...

The paper is devoted to the study of an algorithm for optimization of inhibitory rules relative to the length. Such rules on the right-hand side have a relation "attribute value". The considered algorithm is based on an extension of dynamic programming. After the procedure of optimization relative to length, we obtain a graph (T) which describes all nonredundant inhibitory rules with minimum le...

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of different seasons on length and duration of estrus as well as to observe the behavioral changes and physiological peculiarities during estrus period. Three climatic seasons and age groups were considered: summer (March-June), rainy (July-October) and winter (November-February); A (6-9 month), B (9-12 month) and C (>12 month). Estrus...

Data collection was carried out early January 2021, which took place at campus Jakarta State University Cricket Arena. The method research used this is survey with path analysis technique or analysis. sample amounted 18 people who came from ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Historically, nephrectomy for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease was performed by an open technique. We performed this study to compare outcomes in hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy with open nephrectomy in this population. METHODS Charts of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who underwent nephrectomy by a transplant surgeon fro...

In man, the dominant right hand is often larger than the nondominant left hand. However, in horses, skeletal asymmetry has not previously been reported. Skeletal asymmetry in the racehorse may influence the way it races and affect the incidence of lameness. The growth in length of the third metacarpal bone (McIII) in the horse has ceased by age 10 weeks (Fretz et al. 1984) and its length should...

BACKGROUND Hyperactivity of depressor septi nasi muscle leads to smiling deformity and nasal tip depression. Lateral fascicles of this muscle help in widening the nostrils. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the nasal length changes and the alar base and the alar flaring changes during smile. METHODS Standard photographs are performed in the face and lat...

Present data on carpal kinematics and carpal ligament behaviour are limited to flexion and deviation movements of the hand. These motions do not represent all the wrist-joint motions which are important for the activities of daily living. The goal of this project was to obtain insight into carpal kinematics and carpal ligament behaviour during motions of the hand covering the full range of moti...
