The somatosensory cortex of primates contains patch- and bandlike aggregates of neurons that are dominantly activated by cutaneous inputs from the radial, median, and ulnar nerves to the hand. In the present study, the area 3b hand cortex of adult monkeys was mapped immediately before and after combined median and ulnar nerve transection to evaluate the consistency, extent, and location of earl...

In this study, 40 healthy control group and 40 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Doppler signal from radial artery of the left and right hand were recorded. This non-parametric Welch Periodogram method to signal attributes of the signs were removed and the artificial neural network (ANN) classification method was utilized in order to recognize diseased and healthy control group indivi...

Background: Reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the hand possesses a challenge to the plastic and reconstructive surgeons. In recent years, the radial forearm fasciocutaneous flap has been used extensively to cover hand soft tissue defects. With the routine use of this flap some drawbacks have become apparent. The need to sacrifice the radial artery during the harvest of the flap and the d...

In cylindrical continua, hoop stresses are induced due to the circumferential failure. This mainly happens when the cylinder is subjected to mechanical loads which vary in the circumferential directions. On the other hand, radial stress is stress in the direction of or opposite to the central axis of a cylindrical body. In the present study, the influence of curvilinear anisotropy on the radial...

Abstract A central goal in neuroscience is the development of a comprehensive mapping between structural and functional brain features which facilitates mechanistic interpretation function. However, interpretability structure-function models remains limited by lack biological detail. Here, we characterize human networks weighted multiple white matter microstructural including total intra-axonal...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate muscle force of the hand, thumb, and forefinger in patients with prolonged radial occlusion after transradial percutaneous coronary procedures. BACKGROUND There are no data on hand strength and function in patients with prolonged radial occlusion after percutaneous coronary procedures. METHODS Elective patients with chronic stable...

The prominence of the hand function is underlined fundamentally by its rich vascular system. The superficial palmar arch incredibly provides hand with the blood supply, which is normally formed by the ulnar artery and superficial palmar branch of the radial artery. In the current case, the unilateral absence of superficial palmar arch with the rare presence of the median artery was reported, wh...
