intraosseous ganglia can affect the carpal bones of the hand and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of wrist pain. a 38-year-old female presented with a 14-month history of left wrist pain and a radiolucent cystic lesion was seen computed tomography (ct) scanning. characteristic radiographic findings of a cyst in association with a fine sclerotic rim was apparent. we report an unu...

Traffic accidents on the highway are common. One of causes is fatigue factor driver so that his driving concentration will decrease. The condition in occurs due to decreased levels oxygen blood (SpO2). This application monitor driver's level done by installing a heart rate sensor and saturation (SpO2) wrist. measurement results displayed an OLED screen contains rate, fatigue. If at high then th...

The aetiology of painful dorsal wrist ganglia remains obscure. In a prospective study we investigated the link between a painful dorsal wrist ganglion and wrist joint abnormality with wrist arthroscopy before excision of the ganglion. Of 16 wrists arthroscoped 12 were abnormal, 10 had an abnormal scapholunate joint, and two had abnormal lunatetriquetral joints. We think that painful dorsal wris...

OBJECTIVE To systematically review studies that examined the effectiveness of wrist guards in preventing wrist injuries among snowboarders. DATA SOURCE MEDLINE (1966-March 2005), EMBASE (1988-March 2005), Cochrane (2005 Issue 1), Sport Discus (1975-March 2005) were searched using variations of the term "snowboard." PubMED was searched for the year 2005 to capture any recently published studie...

Wearable devices are becoming increasingly important, addressing needs in both the fitness and medical markets. In this paper, we describe a novel sensing platform based on hollow-core polyurethane optical fiber, operating through capillary guidance, that acts as conformal sensor of pressure or deformation. The novelty is achieved by combining simple structure (hollow capillary) detection techn...

Wrist fractures are common in postmenopausal women and are associated with functional decline. Fracture patterns after wrist fracture are unclear. The goal of this study was to determine the frequency and types of fractures that occur after a wrist fracture among postmenopausal women. We carried out a post hoc analysis of data from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study and Clinical ...
