Figure 1. Left small finger amputation site with small round tender mass (white arrow) on ulnar aspect. DESCRIPTION A 54-year-old man with an extensive history of burns to more than 60% of his body, some years ago, complained of a sharp, unremitting pain in the ulnar distribution of the left hand. Physical examination revealed a previously amputated left small finger with exquisite point tender...

constipation is a common complaint affecting a considerable part of the population in the western world [1]. compared to men, women suffer more from this ailment [2]. usually, more than one factor is involved. lack of fiber in the diet, the presence of hemorrhoids or rectocele have all been incriminated to cause constipation or else exacerbate it. while bearing down causes some degree of perine...

DESCRIPTION Patient is a 65-year-old right-hand-dominant man. He presents with a 15-year history of progressive left small finger contracture with occasional palmar pain. On examination, he has a palpable palmar cord. Contraction of left small finger metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint was noted to be 60 • .

abstract   background: traumatic or congenital events can result in injury and functional deficiency in the hand and we need to reconstruct the fingers at times. studies are available in the pediatric and adult age groups to assess the length of the thumb. but to the best our knowledge no measurement of the relative clinical length of all fingers has been reported in the literature. we performe...

bilateral finger and palm prints of 500 males and 500 females of the caucasian origin in south iran have been collected and analyzed for both qualitative and quantitative dermatoglyhic features. results show that most of the qualitative features on bilateral and bisexual differences are not significant. however, quantitative features frequently showed significant differences both bilaterally an...

The embodied cognition framework suggests that neural systems for perception and action are engaged during higher cognitive processes. In an event-related fMRI study, we tested this claim for the abstract domain of numerical symbol processing: is the human cortical motor system part of the representation of numbers, and is organization of numerical knowledge influenced by individual finger coun...

The main goal of this paper is to provide an integrated design of the artificial index finger and to present the result of human like behavior. The big advantages of the prosthetic index finger are their incredible small size, volume and weight, their low cost .This paper describes our implementation of one finger of a future biomechatronic hand and remote control .This index finger captures th...

Cross-finger flaps still represent a viable option to reconstruct small- to medium-sized full-thickness finger defects but they are not commonly used if larger areas have to be covered. We present 2 cases showing a simple and pragmatic approach with homodigital double cross-finger flaps to reconstruct extensive volar finger soft-tissue defects. We observed very low donor-site morbidity and exce...
