PURPOSE. To evaluate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). METHODS. Medical records of 30 women and 10 men aged 18 to 68 (mean, 38) years who presented with unilateral (n=35) and bilateral (n=5) TOS and underwent 42 surgical decompressions of the right (n=23) and left (n=19) sides were reviewed. MRI findings were compared with intra-operativ...

We proposed a Temporal Object System (TOS) which maintains changes to both the structure and the state of an object in a temporal fashion (Shah, 1992; Fotouhi et al, 1992a; Fotouhi, et al, 1992b; Fotouhi, et al, 1994). Objects in TOS are referred to as temporal objects and are allowed to evolve over time. A collection of temporal objects which share the same set of common properties is grouped ...

Veel kinderen met dyslexie en een taalontwikkelingsstoornis (TOS) hebben moeite spellen. Het is niet bekend of deze problemen hetzelfde zijn voor beide groepen,omdat er weinig directe spellingvergelijkingen tussen twee groepen gemaakt. In studie vergeleken we de woorddictee-uitkomsten foutenpatronen van (leeftijdsrange 8.2-10.4 jaar) (n=31), TOS (n=30) leeftijdsgematchtecontrolegroep (n=31). Da...

According to the literature, thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) secondary to the malunion of displaced fractures of the clavicle is rare. Various surgical methods, including simple neurolysis, resection of the first rib or clavicle and corrective osteotomy, have been reported. We report a case of TOS secondary to malunion of the clavicle that was treated by an anterior and middle scalenectomy witho...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence of false-positive findings of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) shoulder maneuvers, Adson's test (AT), costoclavicular maneuver (CCM), elevated arm stress test (EAST), and supraclavicular pressure (SCP) in healthy subjects. METHODS A cross-sectional, observational study was performed in a medical school and affiliated emergency medicine residency program setti...

A large-eddy simulation (LES) study is presented that investigates the spatial variability of temporal eddy covariance fluxes and the systematic underestimation of representative fluxes linked to them. It extends a prior numerical study by performing high resolution simulations that allow for virtual measurements down to 20m in a convective boundary layer, so that conditions for small tower mea...
