This report describes the diagnosis and management of repetitive stress-related injury (RSRI) of the proximal metacarpus in a seven-year old Thoroughbred racehorse. Intra-articular analgesia of the middle carpal joint (MCJ) as well as perineural analgesia of the lateral palmar nerve (LPN) abolished lameness and a diagnosis of RSRI of the proximopalmar metacarpus was made after nuclear scintigra...

In the last few years the research community has witnessed significant progress in biometric technology, due to the availability of a wide variety of databases. However, the available databases that are currently available present significant setbacks in terms of restricted access to data, low-resolution and restrictions imposed on individuals during the acquisition phase. In this paper, two ne...

The vascular anatomy of the human hand is known to be of outstanding importance in medical, surgical and radiological sciences (Coleman and Anson, 1961; Kenesi et al., 1967; Braun et al., 1977), as well as in comparative anatomy and primatology (Manners-Smith, 1910; Sakka, 1972). The constitution, relationship and common abnormalities of both arterial palmar arches make their dissection difficu...

The socially embarrassing disorder of excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, and its treatment options are gaining widespread attention. In order of frequency, palmar-plantar, palmar-axillary, Isolated axillary, and cranlofacial hyperhidrosis are distinct disorders of sudomotor regulation. A common link among these disorders is an excessive, nonthermoregulatory sweat response often to emotional ...

BACKGROUND Elevated concentrations of doxorubicin are found in eccrine sweat glands of the palms and soles. We therefore evaluated an antiperspirant as preventive treatment for palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (hand-foot syndrome) in patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. PATIENTS AND METHODS An antiperspirant containing aluminum chlorohydrate or...

OBJECTIVE To correlate morphological findings of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with the function of the median nerve. METHODS In this study, 105 wrists of 105 women patients with idiopathic CTS, and 36 wrists of 36 female volunteers were subjected to nerve conduction studies and MRI. Cross sectional area, signal intensity ratio, and the flattening ratio of the median nerve, carpal t...

The fibrous components of the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint including the palmar plate, the collateral ligament and the dorsal plate were studied with particular attention paid to the fibrous structure of the fibrous tendon sheath and the deep transverse metacarpal ligament. The tough fibrillar structure around the MP joint, especially the force nucleus, consisted of three types of mixed fiber...
