Flexor tendon entrapment after a pediatric forearm fracture is a rarely reported complication that is often diagnosed late. Flexor tendon entrapment is more frequently reported after distal forearm fractures, and possible etiologies include fibrosis secondary to hemorrhage at the fracture site and simple entrapment of the muscle belly.This article describes a case of ring finger flexor digitoru...

BACKGROUND Prior research has validated the construct of a suicide crisis syndrome (SCS), a specific psychological state that precedes and may precipitate suicidal behavior. The feeling of entrapment is a central concept of the SCS as well as of several other recent models of suicide. However, its exact relationship with suicidality is not fully understood. In efforts to clarify the exact role ...

A novel bio nanocomposite of Carboxymethyl Starch (CMS)-Chitosan (CS)-Montmorillonite (MMT) was developed for Curcumin delivery. To improve Curcumin entrapment into Cs-CMS-MMT, different ratios of Chitosan (Cs), Carboxymethyl Starch (CMS) and MMT were used. Particle size and Curcumin entrapment efficiency (EE) were highly affected by different formulation variables. Polysaccharide concentration...

The purpose of this article is to provide information that facilitates the critical evaluation of the thoracic outlet syndrome and other nerve entrapment syndromes in the regions of the posterior cervical triangle and the shoulder. General comments regarding entrapment are followed by discussions of specific entrapment sites. Each discussion stresses the anatomic view and includes comments on c...

The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether a group of university students would report role entrapment of people who stutter (PWS) in the form of occupational stereotyping. The study also examined whether severity of stuttering (mild or severe) and level of therapy involvement (choosing or not choosing to attend therapy) affected the perceptions of role entrapment. To examine thes...

RESULTS: 152 patients with 159 orbital floor fractures were included. 122 (80.3%) patients were male, and the mean age was 12.2 years. Twelve patients (7.9%) sustained orbital floor fractures with tissue entrapment. At presentation extraocular movement (EOM) restriction, diplopia, nausea, and vomiting were all associated with tissue entrapment (P<0.001). Amongst patients with trapdoor fractures...
