We report a rare combination of variations in the upper limb of a human cadaver. Accessory flexor carpi ulnaris with absent palmaris longus was observed in the left forearm during routine dissection of a male cadaver. Variant vascular pattern was observed bilaterally. Brachial artery bifurcated at a higher level. Ulnar artery gave rise to persistent median artery (PMA) which pierced the median ...

Topical solutions containing aluminum chloride are known to be the first line of therapy for hyperhidrosis. Palmar hyperhidrosis however, is less responsive to aluminum chloride therapy and successful treatment may require 6-8 h application of high concentrations up to 30% that commonly leads to skin irritation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 30 min iontophoretic appl...

Leg amputees who can't use prostheses and patients with arthritis are often dependent on crutches. Their chronic use can exert significant friction forces. The palmar skin will respond by forming a hyperkeratotic callus. We report for the first time unilateral palmar callus formation caused by friction from using crutches. Another possible adverse effect is the triggering of irritant contact de...

False aneurysms of the palmar arteries are rare. They are usually associated with traumatic injuries to the hand vasculature. We present a case of superficial palmar arch aneurysm (SPAA), complicating carpal tunnel decompression which presented as a pulsatile mass at the site of previous surgery. Initial diagnosis was made on clinical examination and confirmed on doppler ultrasound (US) and com...

The palm print contains a great deal of information which is of great research and application value. This paper provides palm print research methods, application, and the relationship between the palm print and cancer.

T deep palmar arterial arch on the arteriogram was absent (Fig. 4, white arrowhead [dashes indicate the normal position of the deep palmar arch]) with little contrast medium flowing distally beyond the intermediate phalanx of the middle and ring fingers (Fig. 5, arrowheads). On the basis of the patient’s unilateral symptoms, the history of repetitive trauma and the angiographic findings, a diag...
