An established lipopolysaccharide (LPS) model previously described in Warmbloods, was inconsistent Standardbred horses, where lameness not detected despite the presence of synovitis. The present study aimed to determine dose LPS from E. coli O55:B5 required induce mild moderate following middle carpal joint injection horses and quantitate induced over time, with without anti-inflammatory pre-tr...

that results from compression of the median nerve at the wrist.1–3 The syndrome is characterized by pain that begins in the distal arm or wrist and radiates into the thumb, index finger, and middle finger.3 Patients may also complain of numbness and tingling in the distribution of the median nerve, as well as nocturnal pain, which occurs in as many as 95% of patients.4 Diagnosis is usually base...

The manipulation mechanism of the giant panda (Ailuropida melanoleuca) was examined by means of CT (computed tomography) and 3-dimensional (3-D) Volume Rendering techniques. In the 3-D images of the giant panda hand, not only the bones but also the muscular system was visualised. Sections of the articulated skeleton were obtained. It was demonstrated that the hand of the panda is equipped with ...

Goals of reducing wrist pain, allowing a stable active wrist range of motion, and retarding degenerative changes make arthrodesis of the scapho-trapezio-trapezoid joint a popular treatment for chronic static and dynamic scapho-lunate instability; however, pitfalls and complications have not been well studied. Forty-seven wrists in 46 patients over a 10-year period revealed a complication rate o...

We report a case of acute carpal tunnel syndrome caused by periarticular calcification (hydroxyapatite deposition disease) around the wrist joint in a 64-year-old woman. She had acute severe pain, exacerbated by wrist movements and extension of the fingers. Her full blood count, urea, electrolytes, uric acid, calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and thyroid function levels were all within ...

To identify a safe entry point for needle insertion in patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), cross-sectional images of the wrist MRI of 45 normal volunteers and 180 consecutive patients with idiopathic CTS were reviewed. Insertion of the needle from the five different entry points into the carpal tunnel was simulated by drawing a 1-pixel line, and the incidence of contact with ...

Computer assisted surgical interventions and research in joint kinematics rely heavily on the accurate registration of three-dimensional bone surface models reconstructed from various imaging technologies. Anomalous results were seen in a kinematic study of carpal bones using a principal axes alignment approach for the registration. The study was repeated using an iterative closest point algori...

Complete, displaced radial fractures carry a poor prognosis in adult horses. In foals and ponies, fracture repair may have good outcome following internal fixation. Distal are difficult to stabilise due limited bony purchase. Therefore, carpal arthrodesis provide viable option for salvaging the horse. this report, we describe pan-carpal as treatment distal an pony. A 12-year-old pony, 180 kg bo...
