Until 1993, the term multi-infarct dementia was used to distinguish dementia caused by one or more infarctions from Alzheimer disease. 1 Research on cognitive functioning aimed at obvious cognitive impairment after a stroke, t...

B UNNELL in tile United States and Hilgenfeldt in (3ermanv long ago stressed the fact that any grip with normal sensory function, even if weak, is preferred to a prosthesis. This fact is evident and easy to demonstrate by cases from one's own experience. A lack of sensibility only on the radial side of an index finger greatly impairs the facility to obtain a satisfactory result after a free ten...

This qualitative study focused on proxemic feelings and feelings of detachment and ambiguity among professors-nurses concerning their experiences. This study aimed to reveal the meanings of sensibility held by being-professor-nurse in teaching and learning to be and do nursing. The theoretical-philosophical support is based on Merleau-Ponty's existential phenomenological approach and the hermen...

Interoception refers to the sensing of internal bodily changes. Interoception interacts with cognition and emotion, making measurement of individual differences in interoceptive ability broadly relevant to neuropsychology. However, inconsistency in how interoception is defined and quantified led to a three-dimensional model. Here, we provide empirical support for dissociation between dimensions...

Selective peripheral nerve transfers represent an emerging reconstructive strategy in the management of both pediatric and adult brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries. Transfer of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve of the forearm into the distal ulnar nerve is a useful means to restore sensibility to the ulnar side of the hand when indicated. This technique is particularly valuabl...
