<p><strong>A new genus of Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera: Ensifera: Tettigoniidae) </strong><strong>from Central Africa</stro…
2014
The new genus Pseudoplangia is described for Plangia laminifera Karsch, 1896. Its general aspect is similar to that of the genus Plangia Stal, 1873, but it differs remarkably in the vertex width, in the shape of eyes, that are oval and elongate, in the length of mid femora, that are shorter than pronotum length, in the shape of fore and mid legs that are very much laterally compressed, and in the presence of broad-based spines on the hind tibiae.
Tarsal coalitions as a cause of pain in the foot of children: Therapeutic options
2021
Background and objective: The tarsal coalition can be a cause of mid-hindfoot pain in older children. The objective is to analyze the types of coalition treated in our hospital from 2010 to 2019 as well as the treatment carried out. Material and method: Observational, descriptive and retrospective study of 18 patients with tarsal coalition, 8 women and 10 men, aged 11.9±2.6 years. Epidemiological data, clinical findings and imaging tests, and treatment performed were collected. Results: Twenty-five feet (38.8% bilateral) were reviewed. The main symptom was pain. Sixty-four percent were associated with flat-valgus foot. Fifty-two percent were located in the calcaneal-scaphoid joint, and 40% …

Osteoma osteoide de radio proximal
2001
La localización del osteoma osteoide a nivel proximal del radio es excepcional. Su diagnóstico constituye un problema, precediendo al dolor a la aparición de signos radiográficos. Debe de incluirse en el diagnóstico diferencial de todo paciente con dolor en codo o antebrazo. Osteoid osteoma involving the proximal radius is uncommon and presents a dignostic problem. Pain precedes the radiographic appearance. It should be included in the differencial diagnosis when a patient has a radial forearm or elbow pain.

A possible susceptibility locus for bipolar affective disorder in chromosomal region 10q25--q26.
2000
In an attempt to identify susceptibility loci for bipolar affective disorder, we are currently conducting a systematic genome screen with highly polymorphic microsatellite markers at an average marker spacing of 10 cM in a series of 75 families, comprising 66 families from Germany, eight families from Israel, and one family from Italy. The families were ascertained through index cases with bipolar affective disorder. The distribution of diagnoses is as follows: 126 individuals with bipolar I disorder, 40 with bipolar II disorder, 14 with schizoaffective disorder of the bipolar type, 40 individuals with recurrent unipolar depression, 51 with a minor psychiatric diagnosis, and two individuals…
Influence of Aerobic Exercise After Static Stretching on Flexibility and Strength in Plantar Flexor Muscles
2020
Aerobic exercise could improve stretch-induced strength deficits. However, mechanisms of the improvement were unclear. The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of aerobic exercise after static stretching (SS) on flexibility and isometric strength in ankle plantar-flexor muscles. Fifteen healthy males received two interventions after SS of their ankle plantar-flexor muscles for 5 min. One was aerobic exercise for 10-min on a cycling ergometer, and the other was a 10-min rest as a control. Range of motion (ROM) of ankle dorsiflexion, passive torque at terminal ROM, muscle-tendon unit (MTU) stiffness, muscle tendon junction displacement, peak torque of ankle plantarflexion, and the …
CMC is more than a measure of corticospinal tract integrity in acute stroke patients
2021
In healthy subjects, motor cortex activity and electromyographic (EMG) signals from contracting contralateral muscle show coherence in the beta (15-30 Hz) range. Corticomuscular coherence (CMC) is considered a sign of functional coupling between muscle and brain. Based on prior studies, CMC is altered in stroke, but functional significance of this finding has remained unclear. Here, we examined CMC in acute stroke patients and correlated the results with clinical outcome measures and corticospinal tract (CST) integrity estimated with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). During isometric contraction of the extensor carpi radialis muscle, EMG and magnetoencephalographic oscillatory signals were re…
Ultrastructure of Dural Lesions Produced in Lumbar Punctures
2014
During lumbar puncture, the insertion of a single-use, short-beveled spinal needle produces a “tent-like” effect. The dura-arachnoid lesions produced by this Quincke type of needles show a “crescent moon” shape resembling the letter “U” or “V” (similar to the lid of a can), with clean-cut edges. As the needle tip advances, the cut fragment is folded inwards, while all dural and arachnoid layers are entirely severed and the edges of the lesion are displaced inwardly. As soon as the spinal needle is withdrawn, the edges of the lesion tend to retract, owing to the viscoelastic properties of the affected dura mater.
Ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal interventional procedures around the elbow, hand and wrist excluding carpal tunnel procedures.
2021
Ultrasound is a fast, reliable and radiation-free method for the assessment of a wide range of pathological conditions, as well as for the guidance of percutaneous interventional procedures around the elbow, hand and wrist. Intraarticular and periarticular interventional procedures can be easily performed under continuous ultrasound monitoring to ensure correct needle positioning and medication delivery to a specific target. The most common ultrasound-guided procedures performed around the elbow, wrist, and hand are described in this review, excluding carpal tunnel procedures. Specifically, elbow steroid injections are performed in patients with inflammatory disorders, while hyaluronic acid…
