Abstract The paper develops a prediction model based on the surface electromyography (sEMG) signals to recognize five different arm-related motions. We collect 100 groups of three-channels Biceps, Triceps, Brachioradialis as raw data set. Then we extract four features from describe characteristics motions in In pre-processing stage, compare three types EMD-based filtration methods denoise and c...

Background: Several studies have identified the radial nerve in arm using different anatomic landmarks, however, acontroversy remains. Deltoid tuberosity (DT) and brachioradialis (BR) are reproducible landmarks that can be used toidentify the radial nerve (RN) during fracture surgery.Methods: Dissection of RN was carried out in 17 fresh frozen adult cadavers. Using a calibrate...

BACKGROUND It is still unclear when latent myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) develop during early life. This study is designed to investigate the mechanical pain sensitivity of deep tissues in children in order to see the possible timing of the development of latent MTrPs and attachment trigger points (A-TrPs) in school children. METHODS Five hundreds and five healthy school children (age 4- ...

INTRODUCTION Symptomatic hyperparathyroidism (HPT) refractory to medical management requires surgical intervention with subtotal parathyroidectomy. Primary HPT commonly manifests as a parathyroid adenoma affecting a single gland and can be treated with excision of this single gland. However, secondary HPT in the setting of renal failure or familial diseases often presents with multiglandular hy...

Monomelic amyotrophy, also known as Hirayama disease, is a rare lower motor neuron syndrome due to localized loss in the spinal cord at cervical level. Clinically, monomelic amyotrophy defined by insidious onset of unilateral atrophy and weakness involving hand forearm, typically beginning second or third decade life. We report 19-year-old man with two years history slowly progressive his right...
