The article presents current views about upper limb neuropathies, their treatment and clinical manifestations. The following conditions are described: carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS), cubital tunnel syndrome(CUTS), radial tunnel syndrome, and posterior nervus interosseus syndrome.

BACKGROUND Bone tunnel enlargement is a phenomenon present in all anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)- reconstruction techniques. It was hypothesized that press-fit fixation using a free autograft bone plug reduces the overall tunnel size in the tibial tunnel. METHODS In a prospective cohort study twelve patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction using an autologous quadriceps tendon graf...

Purpose: To examine the effect of diverse incision techniques in carpal tunnel decompression on patients’ postoperative pain and degree of satisfaction. Materials and Methods: This study concerned 134 cases of 97 patients who were diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome from January 2010 to May 2012 and underwent carpal tunnel decompression surgery at our hospital. The average follow-up period wa...

Legend: O-CTR= open carpal tunnel release, E-CTR= endoscopic carpal tunnel release, CSA= cross sectional area, MN-UA: distance between the median nerve and ulnar neurovascular bundle, US= ultrasound, SD=standard deviation, p values < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant and are highlighted with bold. Table 1. Overview of the data from the preoperative ultrasound evaluation of the p...

An open-jet wind tunnel operating within an anechoic chamber was developed for the purpose of the study of V/STOL noise mechanisms. An existing low-speed conventional hardwalled wind tunnel was modified to operate as an open-jet tunnel; an anechoic chamber was then constructed around the test section. The resulting aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics of the tunnel are discussed. This work ...

Tunneling is commonly used in several transition mechanisms. Some of the mechanisms discover the tunnel endpoint automatically by their own means. This paper describes several tunnel discovery mechanisms for IPv6 traversal beyond IPv4 legacy networks and suggests a new mechanism by which the DHCPv4 server can automatically provide configuration information about IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel. Dual stack ...

Carpal tunnel syndrome and Raynaud’s phenomena are common diseases and coexist in some patients while in others Raynaud’s phenomenon may be a clinical feature of carpal tunnel syndrome. I describe an interesting case with Raynaud’s phenomenon as a predominant presenting clinical feature due to an underlying mild carpal tunnel syndrome with preferential involvement of the autonomic fibers. Noctu...

In recent years, the volume of traffic is rapidly increasing. When vehicles running through the tunnel are more intensive or move slowly, the tunnel environment occurs deteriorated sharply, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle in the tunnel. This paper uses the result of previous mining association rules to select feature items and to establish four training samples divided by time...

During construction of the Šentvid tunnel a unique opportunity arose to measure the 3D displacements ahead of the motorway tunnel excavation face, since the exploratory tunnel was already constructed in the axis of the main tunnel. According to reviewed literature such measurements had not been performed yet and several problems regarding equipment and complete scheme of the experiment needed t...

BACKGROUND Tunnel enlargement and coalition following double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon autografts has not yet been sufficiently studied. HYPOTHESIS The incidence and the degree of femoral tunnel enlargement will be significantly greater than those for tibial tunnel enlargement after anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction using hamstring te...
