During routine dissection of upper extremity in the department, variation in formation of radial artery was observed in a male cadaver of about 55 years of age. On the left side radial artery has taken origin from 2nd part of axillary artery where as in right it has originated at its normal level. The variation in relation of median nerve with the axillary artery was also seen on the right side...

BACKGROUND Research on the accuracy and precision of noninvasive methods of measuring body temperature is equivocal. OBJECTIVES To determine accuracy and precision of oral, ear-based, temporal artery, and axillary temperature measurements compared with pulmonary artery temperature. METHODS Repeated-measures design conducted for 6 months. Sequential temperature measurements on the same side ...

OBJECTIVES To determine indications and results of axillary artery cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS From January 2005 through December 2008, axillary artery cannulation was used in 48 patients. Mean age was 62 +/- 11 years and 33 (69%) patients were males. Axillary artery was approached by infraclavicular incision and the cannula introduced in a 8 millimeter Dacron side graft. ...

Introduction: Median nerve (MN), one of terminal branches of brachial plexus, is commonly associated with several variations. This research aimed to review the literature related to the variations of MN from axillary region to cubital fossa. Methods: We searched Google Scholar, Science Direct, Springer, and PubMed electronic databases to compile reports related to the variation of MN published...

Endovascular repair with covered stents has been widely used to treat subclavian and axillary artery injuries and has produced promising early results. The possibility of a thromboembolism occurring in cerebral arteries during an endovascular procedure should be a cause for concern. In the case of endovascular management of arterial traumas, a prompt and sufficient period for check-up of the pa...

Introduction The brachial plexus is a complex structure which is divided into roots, trunks, divisions and cords. The brachial plexus is formed by the union of ventral rami of C5, C6, C7, C8 and greater part of T1.These ventral rami are the roots of brachial plexus, almost equal in size but variable in their mode of junction. Ventral rami of C5 and C6 unite at the lateral border of the scalenus...

We have assessed the final strength of the deltoid in 121 patients who had repair of isolated or combined lesions of the axillary (circumflex) nerve and were available for statistical analysis. Successful or useful results were achieved in 85% after grafting of isolated lesions. The strength was statistically better when patients had grafting of the axillary nerve within 5.3 months from the tim...
