osteoid osteomata are rarely found in the distal phalanges of the hand. the usual presenting features are chronic pain, nail enlargement and increase in size of the terminal part of the digit. diagnosis is difficult but surgical excision is effective for treating the patients’pain. we reported this tumor in distal phalanx of the middle finger.

In traumatic amputations in the upper extremities, replantation has been commonly attempted with high success rates. However, successful implies both maintenance of length and good functional outcomes restored hand. Since thumb accounts for 40% to 50% hand function, utmost priority is on salvage thumb. cases when not feasible, various efforts have made replace thumb, including pollicization ind...

In this paper there suggested is a bifurcated (or multiple) input-queued ATM switch in which a buffer for each input port is divided into multiple (m) buffer blocks, i.e., bifurcated buffers, for enhancement of the limited throughput of the ordinary input-queued switch using a single FIFO. As the contention/arbitration rule for the bifurcated input-queued switching scheme, free and restricted c...

OBJECTIVE To determine factors that may influence the perioperative mortality after endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs) using metaregression analysis. METHODS A meta-analysis of all English-language literature with information on mortality rates after endovascular repair of RAAAs was conducted. A metaregression was subsequently performed to determine the impact ...

Measurement of the pressure applied to the anterior region of the palate and incisor region of the mandible during thumb-sucking was carried out 3 female children. A polyethylene bag embedded with a high-sensitivity small pressure sensor was fixed on the ventral side of the thumb so that the baroreceptor could be interposed between the thumb and palate during thumb-sucking. The children were al...

INTRODUCTION Congenital trigger thumb is an uncommon anomaly of children. Its management is controversial, ranging from observation to extensive surgical release. We report a case of delayed presentation of bilateral trigger thumb along with a brief review of past literature. CASE REPORT A six year old girl presented with fixed flexion deformity of interphalangeal joints of both thumbs and No...

Wnt-4 (wingless mouse mammary tumor virus integration site-4) protein is involved in many crucial embryonic pathways regulating essential processes. Aberrant Wnt-4 activity causes various anomalies leading to gastric, colon, or breast cancer. Wnt-4 is a conserved protein in structure and sequence. All Wnt proteins contain an unusual fold comprising of a thumb (or N-terminal domain) and index fi...
