Introduction: The evaluation of musculoskeletal system in horse veterinary medicine is very important because of its effect on equine performance. The current study provided an ultrasonography description of the palmar tendons and ligaments of the metacarpus in pure Persian Arabian horses. Methods: The metacarpal regions of 10 healthy mare pure Persian Arabian horses were prepared for ultrason...

Costello syndrome is a rare, distinctive, multiple congenital anomaly syndrome, characterized by soft, loose skin with deep palmar and plantar creases, loose joints, distinctive coarse facial features and skeletal and cardiac abnormalities. The affected patients have a predisposition to develop malignancy, developmental delays and mental retardation. Recently, a 7-year-old male child born to no...

Lipomas are common tumors that arise from mesenchymal fibrofatty tissue. They are the single most common soft tissue tumor1 and can involve any part of the body. The most common clinical presentation is a gradually progressive, soft and nontender mass. However, their presentation in the hand is infrequent. Some lipomas can grow considerably and their presence in the hand is associated with a va...

OBJECTIVE To correlate morphological findings of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with the function of the median nerve. METHODS In this study, 105 wrists of 105 women patients with idiopathic CTS, and 36 wrists of 36 female volunteers were subjected to nerve conduction studies and MRI. Cross sectional area, signal intensity ratio, and the flattening ratio of the median nerve, carpal t...

Magnetic resonance imaging can demonstrate core lesions, dorsal tears, and sagittal splits in the deep digital flexor tendon within the hoof capsule in horses with unilateral or bilateral palmar foot pain. Abnormalities of the navicular bone can be seen in horses with no detectable radiological abnormality. Lesions of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone of the distal interphalangeal jo...

The objective of this study was to evaluate relative echogenicity of superficial and deep digital flexor tendons, the accessory ligament of the deep digital flexor tendon and interosseous muscle of the metacarpal region in foals ages 1 week to 4 months; and assess the association between echogenicity and sex or side/laterality. Seven Standardbred trotter foals were examined. Right and left meta...

We previously predicted filaggrin gene (FLG) loss-of-function mutation status from palmar images using textural features (histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) and Haralick). In this study, we used a convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict FLG larger cohort images. Images were available the Tower Hamlets Eczema Assessment study for individuals Bangladeshi origin aged ≤30 years with atopic...
