Jellyfish Envenomation Resulting In Vascular Insufficiency And Neurogenic Injury of Upper Limb

Following a week after a jellyfish sting, a young man presented with regional cyanosis and threat of distal gangrene secondary to vascular spasm in the forearm. The patient also suffered from transient paresis and numbness of the affected upper limb. Contrasted imaging revealed unopacified vessels in the distal forearm and worsening swelling warranted emergency surgical fasciotomy for impending...

Vascular insufficiency complicating trauma to the lower limb.

The determination of correlation between total length of upper limb and length of upper limb segments in students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences

Introduction & Objective Estimating limb length based on the remaining parts of each limb is one of the most important challenges among anatomists and forensic specialists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between upper limb length and length of upper limb segments to derive a regression formula for estimating upper limb length. Methods Four parameter of upper limb length,...
