numerous causes are reported for ulnar nerve compression at the wrist, known as guyon's tunnel syndrome. in the present article, a patient with guyon's tunnel syndrome during pregnancy concomitant with an anomaly of ulnar nerve is described. a 29-year-old iranian woman presented with clinical features of guyon's tunnel syndrome (pain and paresthesia in the fifth finger of the left hand and atro...

AIM The aim of this study was to try to find parametric ratios for the diagnosis and pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome using MR. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dominant side wrist MRI examinations of 27 female carpal tunnel patients and 21 normal females were compared. The carpal tunnel contents area / carpal tunnel cross section area ratio was defined, analysed and discussed with the literatur...

in this paper, a systematic approach is presented for optimal design of tunnel support lining using two-dimensional finite element analysis models of soil-structure interaction developed in abaqus software and the modified colliding bodies optimization (mcbo) algorithm implemented in matlab environment. this approach is then employed to study the influence of variable geometrical and geo-mechan...

conclusion the anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome is a known disease. a high index of clinical suspicion is required while dealing with the chronic cases. a detailed history to rule out any traumatic event is necessary too. timely investigations and surgical release give dramatic relief. case presentation a 40 -year-old male patient was presented with the history of persistent pain along the dorsa...

How to make IPv4 users utilize IPv6 applications is a typical scenario of the IPv4/IPv6 inter-operation. Nowadays, Tunnel Broker and 6to4 tunnel mechanisms are the popular solutions for this problem. This paper proposes a multihoming based algorithm MI46 to integrate Tunnel Broker and 6to4 tunnel mechanism. It overcomes the shortcomings of both Tunnel Broker and the 6to4 tunnel mechanism to for...

The boundary element technique is a practical problem-solving tool and useful in comparison to other currently popular alternatives. In this paper, a circular tunnel of a diameter 3.4 m is to be excavated through a clayey soil and surrounded by concrete lining of a thickness 0.2 m, so the clear internal diameter is 3.0 m. A plane strain analysis is adopted for such problem and the soil is assum...

In this thesis innovative tunnel devices based on new architectures, new fabrication approaches and novel material combinations are fabricated and investigated in detail. In particular, nanowire homoand heterojunction tunnel diodes based on Si and InAs-Si have been demonstrated for the rst time. The gained knowledge and understanding of tunnel diodes is applied to design and fabricate InAs-Si h...

tehran shomal highway passes through alborz mountains with a tunnel length of 6400 meters. there are two main tunnels. a full three-dimensional (3d) numerical analysis coupled with elasto-plastic material models was conducted on the inclined access tunnel. bending moment, axial force and the lining displacements due to the internal forces applied on the shotcrete lining are calculated. axial fo...

PURPOSE Tunnel widening after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a frequently described phenomenon. The possible etiology is multi-factorial with some mechanical and biological factors. Among those, we intended to determine the relation between the location and orientation of the femoral tunnel and the femoral tunnel enlargement after outside-in single-bundle ACL reconstruction....
