Portable devices have been developed to provide point-of-care nerve conductions studies. These devices have computational algorithms that are able to drive stimulus delivery, measure and analyze the response, and provide a report of study results. Automated nerve conduction could be used in various settings, including primary care, without the need for specialized training or equipment. DESCRIP...

Meralgia paraesthetica is a condition which presents with pain and paresthesia over the anterolateral thigh, due to entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Our local experience of 12 cases highlights the usefulness of antidromic sensory nerve conductions in the diagnostic and prognostic aspects of this condition. Follow-up studies suggest that patients with initial reduction rather t...

After a period of 45 years as a member of the ''brary staff it was felt that I ought to put on record sOme account of the growth of the library during that ,irne. I would like, if I may, to go further back and say something too about the origins of the library. But first may I refer to Bristol and its medical conductions which, so to speak, set the scene for the Establishment of the library. I ...
