Consistent high quality MR imaging of the fingers and toes present a challenge for even the newest of high performance MR technologies. Consistent delineation of fine anatomic detail is accomplished utilizing small fields of view, high performance high field strength MRI systems and dedicated quadrature coils. Referrals from hand surgeons and foot surgeons for MR imaging of the fingers and toes...

A macro vascular embolism is a well-known emergency. In contrast, cutaneous microembolism is a lesser known symptom. However, cutaneous microembolism of fingers and toes is a red flag symptom for vascular emergencies. The underlying cause may involve infectious, immunological, metabolic and physical disorders, coagulation disorders and malignancies. Early recognition can help to live safe.

The groundwork of this book was a course ol lectures delivered by Mr. Anderson, at the Royal College of Surgeons, in 1891. It is a valuable contribution to the surgery 01 deformities. The important subject of Dupuytren's contraction of the palmar fascia is fully considered, and the various forms of contraction of the fingers described. The very common affection of the great toe known as Hallux ...

The importance of well-functioning toes has long been recognised but has not previously been assessed in biomechanical studies. We have examined the weight-bearing function of the foot in 160 normal subjects by use of the pedobarograph. The function of the toes was assessed by reference to the time they were in contact with the ground and the peak pressures they exerted individually in comparis...

Herein we report a 6-year-old Afghans patient referred to Department of Dermatology, St. AL-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan with ulcerative and nodular lesions disseminated over the face, arms, buttocks, pelvic girdle and legs in 2002. Direct smears of the lesions were positive for Leishman bodies. Leishmanin skin test was negative. He also had dactylitis in some digits and toes. PCR from bone biopsy...

The craniosynostoses, the premature closure of the cranial sutures, are a common heterogeneous group of disorders, affecting about 1 in 2000 children at birth. About 20% have a distinct syndrome defined on clinical and family grounds. The delineation of these syndromes has become more precise with molecular analysis. Mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, 2, 3 loci have been iden...
