INTRODUCTION Doing repetitive push-ups is among the most common exercise for the upper body and shoulder stabiliser muscle strength training. However, adverse effects such as neck pain, back pain, palmar pain and wrist pain have been reported. To date, to our knowledge, palmar pressure when performing push-ups has not been previously reported. We hypothesised that various hand positions during ...

The objective of this report was to provide an anatomic description of the equine palmar lateral outpouching of the middle carpal joint by comparing its arthroscopic and magnetic resonance (MR) contrast arthrography appearance and to define the structures within the palmar lateral outpouching of the middle carpal joint that can be assessed arthroscopically. MR contrast arthrography was performe...

measurements of the tilt angle of potential fields can be a useful aid to their interpretation. there are several varieties of the methods in use, such as tilt angle, and the derivative of tilt angle. tilt angle filters are used for exact edge detection of the rectangular bodies artificially by writing a matlab code. the gravity effects of these models are computed by standard algorithms. the e...

Palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that has been reported mainly for ovarian cancers. It is thought to be a tumour-associated autoimmune disorder. It is associated with polyarthritis and rapid flexion contractures of hands with palmar nodules due to palmar fasciitis. Similar paraneoplastic features in gastric cancers have seldom been reported. Here, I ...

Background: Distal radius fractures constitute 17% of all fractures and 75% of forearm fractures in adults. Due to the vital role of the hands in a wide range of daily tasks, quick recovery and fewer complications for the patients are important. The purpose of this study was to compare the two common treatments of distal radius fractures namely, percutaneous pinning and pin-in-plaster. Methods...

Introduction. The Integrated Management of Childhood and Neonatal Illness (IMNCI) recommends the use palmar pallor to diagnose anaemia. Earlier studies to validate palmar pallor as clinical sign for anaemia were largely done in African context. There was a need to test validity of palmar pallor to detect anemia in different settings. Objective. To study the validity and interobserver agreement ...

A randomised, double-blinded, controlled trial was performed to compare traditional digital blocks with single subcutaneous palmar injection blocks at the base of the finger. A search for randomised controlled trials of digital blocks through MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register and CBM was conducted and a meta-analysis including the current trial was performed. The current tria...

The adductor pollicis muscle was studied in fifty hands of Japanese adult cadavers of both sexes. The radial portion of the oblique head of the adductor pollicis muscle has carpal and metacarpal origins and an insertion into the wing tendon of the extensor apparatus. This portion was located dorsal to the palmar metacarpophalangeal articular nerve and superficial palmar metacarpal artery. Thus,...

Palmar erythema is a very unusual manifestation of sarcoidosis. We report on a patient whose presenting features of sarcoidosis were palmar erythema and a hoarse voice. The diagnosis was confirmed by palmar skin biopsy and the patient responded well to treatment with prednisolone.

Palmar ganglion is rare. Deep palmar ganglion usually arises from the wrist joint and may cause compression neuropathy. Superficial palmar ganglion may arise from the flexor tendons of the wrist. The chance of compression neuropathy is expected to be less than deep palmar ganglion. However, there is a higher chance of perforation through the skin and the ganglion may affect hand grip. Open rese...
