BACKGROUND Previous work has shown an association between restricted wrist range of motion (ROM) and upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders in computer users. We compared the prevalence of MRI-identified wrist abnormalities and wrist ROM between asymptomatic and symptomatic computer users. METHODS MR images at 1.5 T of both wrists were obtained from 10 asymptomatic controls (8 F, 2 M) and ...

BACKGROUND Jaw bones might be potential locations for different lesions. Differences in prevalence and the type of lesions can help in designing and programming prevention procedures in health care centers. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of intraosseous lesions in the jaws of patients referred to diagnostic and therapeutic centers in Hamadan during 1990...

OBJECTIVE This study was done, using a swine model of prolonged ventricular fibrillation out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, to determine the feasibility of inducing therapeutic hypothermia after successful resuscitation by giving an intraosseous infusion of iced saline. METHODS This study was IACUC approved. Liter bags of normal saline, after being refrigerated for at least 24h, were placed in a...

BACKGROUND Intraosseous ganglion (IOG) cysts rarely have been reported in the carpal bones and lunate is the most common area of involvement. They can present as chronic wrist pain accompanied by a radiolucent lytic lesion in the lunate bone. We provided a retrospective review of six cases of intraosseous ganglion cysts within the lunate bones that all of the patients presented with chronic wri...

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with intraosseous vacuum phenomena could cause persistent back pains in patients, even after receiving conservative treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of using high-viscosity bone cement via bilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty in treating patients who have osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with intraosseous vac...

PURPOSE In percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), intraosseous venography is performed using water-soluble ionic iodinated contrast media (iodine contrast media) before injecting bone cement. However, because of contrast medium remaining in the fractured cleft, we experienced the persistence of intravertebral opacification that obscured visualization of the cement under X-ray fluoroscopy. To solve ...

this prospective study aimed to compare the intraosseous (io) and intravenous (iv) effects of propofol on selected blood parameters and physiological variables during general anesthesia in rabbits. thirty new zealand white rabbits were studied. six rabbits received iv propofol (group 1) and another 6 rabbits, were injected propofol intraosseously (group 2) for 30 minutes (experimental groups). ...

INTRODUCTION Leiomyoma is benign smooth-muscle tumor most commonly arising in the uterus, the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin. Leiomyomata are infrequently seen in the extremities and rarely seen in the bone. It is usually presented by a gradually increasing pain with nonspecific radiological findings, and could be a differential diagnosis for wide range of bone tumors. CASE PRESENTATION...
