January 2001 Diagnosing Disorders Of The Hand Concepts and principles in the management of degenerative hand conditions and hand-injured patients are fast-changing. This is also the case with patterns of hand injury. As it is the primary health physician who usually has initial contact with the patient who has suffered a hand injury, we highlight here some conditions related to the hand. Ergonomics Of The Hand High-speed assembly line production methods and the widespread use of the computer have led to an evident increase in repetitive stress injury (RSI) amongst workers. They arise from ordinary movement such as gripping, tapping, twisting, reaching, etc. These activities will become hazardous when performed repeatedly in a forceful and awkward manner with no rest or sufficient recovery time. Ergonomics is an applied science concerned with the design of workplaces, tools and tasks to match the physiological, anatomical and psychological capabilities of the worker. The main objective of ergonomics in prevention of RSI of the hand is the reduction of extreme joint movement, excessive force and high repetitive movement. Principle of ergonomics are as follows: Design Of Workstations Placement of tools or materials according to frequency of use.

search the site Shoulder instability For serious and recreational athletes alike, the pain and instability that result from recurrent shoulder dislocation or subluxation (incomplete or partial dislocation) can jeopardize athletic careers and alter lifestyles. A traumatic blow to the shoulder, which frequently occurs in football, can cause an injury with an 80 percent chance of producing recurrent instability in young patients. Over time, the repetitive motions used by swimmers, tennis players, pitchers, and athletes involved in other throwing sports also can create shoulder instability. Shoulder subluxation is one of the most common shoulder injuries treated at the UPMC Center for Sports Medicine. More than 100 patients a year, most of them young athletes, come to the Center for Sports Medicine complaining of recurrent shoulder instability. Common elbow injuries in athletes The elbow is a hinge joint consisting of three bones that serve as the mechanical link between the upper arm and forearm. The normal range of motion of the elbow is zero degrees of extension (straightening) to 150 degrees of flexion (bending), although an arc of motion from 30 to 130 degrees is sufficient to perform most activities of daily life.

58. Trigeminal Neuralgia, Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia, And Hemifacial Spasm The operation for cranial nerve compression syndromes involves a small incisionbehind the ear, removal of a small amount of bone, and then moving the blood http://www.neurologicalsurgery.com/Trig.html

TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA, GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL NEURALGIA, AND HEMIFACIAL SPASM Before undergoing surgery for one of the cranial nerve decompression syndromes, the patient must undergo an MRI scan of the brain to rule out vascular malformation or tumor contributing to the syndrome. Furthermore in trigeminal neuralgia, multiple sclerosis should be excluded as a diagnosis prior to undergoing surgery. Usually a clinical history and a high quality MRI scan of the brain is sufficient to evaluate the patient prior to surgery. Routine tests, of course, are also indicated.

Contents Peripheral Neuropathies Fall 2002 Volume 13, Number 2 This Issue Contents Next Article MR Imaging of the Peripheral Nervous System: MR Neurography M.D. Solsberg, MD, FRCPC MRI imaging of peripheral nerves is useful in combination with clinical evaluation and electrophysiological studies in the diagnosis of a broad range of peripheral nerve disorders, including neoplasia, nerve root compression and entrapment syndromes, trauma, and unexplained plexopathy. MRI can define the specific location of nerve root pathology. MRI can also detect secondary findings of muscle denervation. Introduction . There have been dramatic improvements in the imaging of disorders of the central nervous system over the last 2 decades. Neuroradiologists routinely use advanced MR applications, such as diffusion and perfusion imaging for stroke assessment, high resolution imaging for inner ear abnormalities, functional MRI and spectroscopy for brain tumor evaluation. In the past, patients with disorders of the peripheral nervous system were diagnosed by history and physical findings in combination with electrophysiological studies. Nerve conduction studies are an excellent and sensitive test to evaluate patients with suspected peripheral neuropathy. These techniques however may not be able to define the exact anatomic location of the peripheral nerve problem.
