BACKGROUND Median and ulnar nerve injuries are common, whether isolated or combined injury of both nerve. A nerve graft, if performed in a tensionless manner, has been shown to generally have better results than an end-to-end approximation performed under tension. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to analyze the long-term results of sensory recovery after secondary reconstruction median and ...

The forerunner of the heterodigital flaps was the standard cross-finger flap [1]. For a long time it was considered a random pattern regional flap, which employed the dorsal skin of an adjacent finger to provide soft tissue coverage for a volar defect including pulp defect. The conventional cross-finger flap provides stable padding, but sensory recovery is prolonged and often does not restore t...

This paper describes experiences gained from the implementation and evaluation of an XML-based integration system in a real case. The prototype was designed to support electronic data exchange in a supply chain. The purpose of the prototype was to study the properties of the integration system from both a development and usage perspective . In particular , the study outlined how and in which ci...

146 words; Main text: 4,724 words Finger Counting Habits 3 Our ability to precisely quantify arbitrarily large sets of objects is a key cultural achievement. At the root of this ability may be an evolutionarily inherited “number sense” that allows us to tell rapidly and effortlessly the precise numerosity of small sets. But this basic sense of quantity is assisted by acquired counting skills as...
