Introduction Numerous review articles have described variations to the branching pattern of the vasculature [3, 8, 10] and innervation [1, 4,] in the upper limbs of cadavers. The classification of the arterial patterns that we used for this report corresponded to McCormick et al.’s [8] description of radial artery origin proximal to the intercondylar line. Multiple names have been given to this...

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and time series data can be used for forecasting methods well. is a method whose working principle adapted from mathematical model in humans or biological nerves. networks are characterized by; (1) the pattern of connections between neurons (called architecture), (2) determining weight connection training learning), (3) activation function. The research objective...

One of the most common diseases in tropical countries is Hansen's disease. Mainly presents as Tuberculoid and lepromatous leprosy apart from its sub classification. Neuritic disease one commonly seen cases by neurologists. It can present mononeuritic form or mononeuritis multiplex with without dermatologic manifestations. Among peripheral nerves involved are greater auricular, ulnar,superficial...

objective(s) achillea genius is widely used in traditional medicine for gastrointestinal disorders. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aqueous-ethanol extract of achillea wilhelmsii on rat’s gastric motility in basal and vagal stimulated conditions. materials and methods twenty four wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: control and test. the extract was prepare...

The ability to investigate microstructural properties of the central nervous system with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been shown in many studies. More recently, DTI is being applied outside the brain showing promising results, for instance, for investigating muscle tissue. In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and fiber tractography to study the ne...

Spherical bodies, roughly 10 micro m in diameter, which have not been reported before, were found in the peripheral nerve axons of specimens collected during post-mortem examination of leprosy patients. These bodies were found in the fascicles of all peripheral nerves of the extremities examined (median, radial, ulnar, peroneal and sciatic nerves). Their incidence was not related to the type of...

BACKGROUND Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are characterised by lower limb spasticity due to degeneration of the corticospinal tract. We set out for an electrophysiological characterisation of motor and sensory tracts in patients with HSP. METHODS We clinically and electrophysiologically examined a cohort of 128 patients with genetically confirmed or clinically probable HSP. Motor evoke...

BACKGROUND The ability to explore the anatomy has improved our appreciation of the brachial anatomy and the quality of regional anesthesia. Using real-time ultrasonography, we investigated the cross-sectional anatomy of the brachial plexus and of vessels at the axillary fossa in Koreans. METHODS One hundred and thirty-one patients scheduled to undergo surgery in the region below the elbow wer...

background: the present study was designed to ascertain serial changes on distal radius radiographic parameters attributable to aging.       methods: in this prospective study, the sample consisted of 120 healthy individuals who were divided into four age groups each containing 15 males and 15 females. in the two below-20-year-old groups, only ulnar variance could be investigated. wrist radiogr...
