OBJECTIVE Prevalence of Martin-Gruber anastomosis, an anomalous median-to-ulnar forearm communication, is well reported in literature while Marinacci communication, the reverse of Martin-Gruber with a forearm ulnar-to-median communication is under-recognized. We systematically evaluated the presence of Marinacci communication in a series of patients referred for electrophysiological studies. ...

Median–ulnar anastomosis [Martin–Gruber anastomosis (MGA)] is a common anatomic variant. The crossover often occurs in mid-forearm. Median fibers that have crossed then run with distal ulnar nerve to innervate any of following ulnar muscle: (i) Abductor digiti minimi (ADM), (ii) first dorsal interosseous (FDI), (iii) adductor pollicis, (iv) deep head of flexor pollicis brevis, or (v) combinatio...

BACKGROUND The ulnar free forearm flap (UFFF) represents a variant of soft tissue transplants for orofacial reconstruction with specific topographic anatomy of the donor-site, which has to be considered during flap raising. METHODS Analysis of intraoperative findings during harvest of 322 UFFFs for head and neck reconstruction was performed. Harvest technique in view of variations of skin fla...

An oligopoly model with endogenous sunk costs illustrates the trade off between ex ante extraction of oligopoly rents and market entry of firms in the mobile telecommunications industry. Competitive bidding for radio frequency licences provides scope for setting market structure endogenously: the higher the licence fee, the lower the number of competitive firms sustained by the market. High lic...

Background In this study, given the importance of gastrointestinal anastomosis in surgical procedures, attempts have been made to compare the results of employing magnetic compression anastomosis and magnetic coils in intestinal anastomosis of rats. Materials and Methods This study was an experimental trial on 60 rats which had been randomly divided into two experiment (30) and control (30) gro...

Managing usage SLAs within large environments that integrate participants and resources spanning multiple physical institutions is a challenging problem. Maintaining a single unified usage SLA management decision point over hundreds to thousands of jobs and sites can quickly become a bottleneck in terms of reliability as well as performance. DI-GRUBER, an extension to GRUBER, was developed as a...
