MUSCULO-SPIRAL NERVE DISABILITIES

Musculo-Spiral Nerve Paralysis Following an Intramuscular Injection of Quinine

seen by me on the 20th July, 1927, (70 days after the lesion). The boy refused prolonged treatment at the time, but came back on the 12th September, 1927, (122 days after the lesion). In addition to the wristdrop there was wasting of all the extensor muscles of the forearm, the supinator longus being particularly atrophied. There was no sensory change. The wrist was fixed in a hyper-extended po...

Whole Nerve Recordings with the Spiral Nerve Cuff Electrode

The feasibility of whole nerve recordings from the hypoglossal (HG) nerve is demonstrated in acute cats using the spiral nerve cuff electrode. A good contact between the nerve and the electrodes, provided by the spiral nerve cuff due to its self-coiling property, should improve the signal-tonoise ratio. An instrumentation amplifier with very low input noise characteristics is also utilized. The...

Spiral nerve cuff electrode for recordings of respiratory output.

The feasibility of using the spiral nerve cuff electrode design for recordings of respiratory output from the hypoglossal (HG) and phrenic nerves is demonstrated in anesthetized, paralyzed, and artificially ventilated cats. Raw neural discharges of the HG nerve were analyzed in terms of signal-to-noise ratios and frequency spectra. The rectified and integrated moving average activity of the HG ...

Musculo-skeletal ultrasound in rheumatology practice.

In rheumatology ultrasound is a relatively new but rapidly developing field, and now forms an important part of curriculum of rheumatology training programs in European countries. Ultrasound is now an accepted procedure to differentiate between arthralgia and arthritis, to look for erosions in early arthritis which is otherwise not visible on plain radiographs, to scan tendons in enthesopathies...
