background: electrophysiologic (edx) study is the most valuable method in grading the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (cts), but it is invasive and painful. we evaluated the efficacy of ultrasound for this purpose. materials and methods: eighty-one wrists of 52 consecutive patients with clinical evidences of cts, confirmed and graded by edx as mild, moderate, and severe, were examined by ult...

The purpose of this paper is to design a Conformance Test Suite(CTS) for BSPs(Biometric Service Provider) based upon the BioAPI (Biometric Application Programming Interface) v2.0, an international standard by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC37. The proposed BioAPI CTS enables users to test BSPs without depending on various frameworks. In this paper, a test scheduling tool has been embodied in order to use Test ...

INTRODUCTION: The most common histological finding of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is non-inflammatory fibrosis of the subsynovial connective tissue (SSCT) in the carpal tunnel. The etiology of this finding and its relationship to the development of CTS remain poorly understood. Myofibroblasts, contractile fibroblasts which express alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), have a key role in wound hea...

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) remains a puzzling and disabling condition present in 3.8% of the general population. CTS is the most well-known and frequent form of median nerve entrapment, and accounts for 90% of all entrapment neuropathies. This review aims to provide an overview of this common condition, with an emphasis on the pathophysiology involved in CTS. The clinical presentation and ris...

Abstract Cu 2 SnS 3 (CTS) semiconductor material owns very interesting absorbing properties that allow it to be effectively utilized in many thin‐film‐based heterojunction solar cells. In this work, using the ball milling method, a mixture of pure elemental powders is used synthesize CTS material. Homemade undoped and Li‐doped target pellets are form CTS‐doped CTS‐undoped thin films. The crysta...

1 Tokamak fuelling using high velocity compact torus (CTs). Compact toroids (CTs) are self-organized magnetized plasmoids in a nearly force-free Taylor state. In the laboratory, CTs can be formed using coaxial electrodes and a solenoid magnetic field coil. The resultant CT equilibrium is sufficiently robust that it can withstand extremely large acceleration (>1 x 10 g) and can achieve high fina...

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common and costly disease among working-aged adults, and a leading cause of work-related disability, 1 affected almost 5 million U.S. workers, with prevalence estimated between 3.1% and 7.8%.2 While prognosis following surgery has been described,34 many questions exist about predictors of CTS prognosis in working populations.5 The presence of ulnar symptoms or ...

The purpose of this paper is to describe a modular framework for text mining that uses Canonical Text Service (CTS) as a data source. By combining standardized functionalities with standardized access to text data, this framework intends to reduce the heterogeneity of workflows in today’s Digital Humanities and act as an important element of a text research infrastructure. For this work the imp...

This prospective study measured and compared the diagnostic performance characteristics of various clinical signs and physical examination manoeuvres for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), including the scratch collapse test. Eighty-eight adult patients that were prescribed electrophysiological testing to diagnose CTS were enrolled in the study. Attending surgeons documented symptoms and results of ...
