Twenty four cadavers used for dissection for the first year medical students of Amrita School of Medicine, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences were studied serially in the years 2011-14. The flexor compartment was dissected using standard procedure based on Cunninghams Dissection Manual Volume I [6]. The presence, absence and morphological variations of palmaris longus, its nerve supply and its relation to flexor retinaculum and neighbouring structures were noted.
Of the forty eight limbs studied, thirty nine showed the classical textbook description (Figure 1) and in four specimens there was complete agenesis. The other morphological types there numbers and percentage are presented in Table 1.
In all cases it was supplied by the median nerve.
Agenesis of palmaris longus (Figure 2) are said to follow Mendialian

Reverse palmaris longus was first described by Captain John T. Morrison in 1916 as an incidental post amputation finding [11].It may cause compartment syndrome in the Carpal tunnel and Guyons canal. The patient will present with pain and edema in the wrist region. This is an occupational hazard in people whose work involves repetitive wrist movements as it will result in hypertrophy and cause compression of median nerve and or ulnar nerve. This makes the modern day computer professional particularly vulnerable. Symptomatic patients presenting with a palpable volar swelling should be examined for variations in the palmaris longus. In an asymptomatic subject a hypertrophied muscle will obstruct and result in hazy interpretation of radiological assessment of this region. Difficulties in endoscopic procedure and electro myographic studies may also result from such a reversal
The Neovison vison dissection lab was intended so students could study the external and internal anatomy and physiology of the Neovison vison. Once the Neovison vison was dissected, students could see the similar and different characteristics of the Neovison vison that are present within the human body. Students were able to identify muscles, bones, organs, tissues, insertion points, and origin points within the body of the animal. Reflection on skeletal and muscular structure was also studied throughout the dissection lab. Although the muscles within the Neovison vison and the skeletal structure of the Neovison vison are highly similar to those in a human body, this dissection lab made it known that there truly are anatomical differences within
Cranial nerves continue intact, including the extraocular eye movements being intact without nystagmus. Visual fields are full in both eyes. He had no papilledema or atrophy of either optic disc. Pupils react from 4 down to 2 mm, bilaterally brisk and round to light and accommodation. He continues to have good strength with normal bulk and tone throughout his extremities.
Range of motion is limited with flexion and extension of 20 degrees limited by pain. Spurling test is positive. Sensation is diminished C5-C6 bilaterally. Diagnoses are cervical strain, bilateral C5-C6 cervical radiculopathy, and diminished sensation, C6 reflex bilaterally.
DOI: 7/28/2014. Patient is a 33-year old male laborer who sustained injury when his left wrist twisted and snapped while using a drill. Per OMNI, he was initially diagnosed with dislocation of the left wrist. He underwent a tendon graft reconstruction on 08/07/14 and hardware removal on 09/11/14.
It may also be caused by medial epicondylitis, bony spurs, osteoarthritis, cubitus valgus, tumors, bending the elbow excessively, or subluxation of the nerve on the medial epicondyle. Additionally, cubital tunnel syndrome may occur if the humerus or ulna is
ODG states that it is not recommended. Manipulation has not been proven effective in high quality studies for patients with pain in the hand, wrist, or forearm, but smaller studies have shown comparable effectiveness to other conservative therapies. Review of medical records indicates that the patient is s/p left thumb surgery He had neuropathic pain distally. He was unable to hold onto any objects. The provider prescribed Lidopro and terocin patch to minimize usage of narcotics for his pain.
• breasts are shown in profile (cf. Hapi) or infrontal view [1]. The lower body is again represented in profile and often shown striding. • Limbs, hands and feet had until the Amarna Period the same handedness or perhaps rather no handedness at all. But even under Akhenaten limbs were often represented traditionally
After reviewing the agency’s quarterly Workers Compensation reports from the past two years, an alarming pattern regarding carpal tunnel claims among employees was discovered. In the past two years the amount of employees with carpal tunnel claims has more than tripled. The majority of the work being done within this agency takes place in front of a computer. With the constant typing and repetitive computer work, our employees are at a higher risk for carpal tunnel.
Good morning Bruce, I received word from your office that the orthopedic IME reports say that I am fine for full duty and expected to return to full duty on tomorrow morning. I will not be returning to work as I have not been released by Dr. Hogans. She has only cleared me to work for 2 hours a day from home. If I need to go back to work without pay status then that is what I will have to do. I need you to see if you can get this hearing expedited as I am being denied all of my medical care again.
From King Kong to G-Unit, Gorillas have always had a nefarious image in society. Their stature alone strikes fear to most humans and is a key reason why Gorillas play a villainous role in films and movies. A book should not be judged by its cover and neither should the world’s largest apes. In order to gain a further understanding of Gorillas and their locomotive forces, a brief look into their evolutionary and phylogenetic history is necessary. The order primate is divided into two distinct subcategories consisting of prosimians and anthropoids.
In the first amputation site, anterior regeneration started with invagination then blastemal formation and patterning which led to the development of the prostomium and later, resegmentation. Posterior regeneration was slow and incomplete as the body end remained in the invagination stage with no further regeneration. In the second amputation site, anterior regeneration materialized differently than the other two sites because it began slowly at first with only a few segments visible, but eventually additional segments were added sequentially after some time. Posterior regeneration occurred faster than in the first amputation site, however, it occurred in different rates and some remained in the invagination stage without any signs of blastema formation. In the third amputation site, anterior regeneration is similar to that of the second amputation site, but no more segments were added within a month.

Digit formation appeared to follow a graded pattern in response to the grafts at various locations (Table 1). Contrary to this evidence for a concentration gradient signalling system, research conducted on cockroach legs, Drosophila imaginal dicks, and amphibian limbs was put forth that suggested

The fibres first pass in a dorsomedial direction and then loop over the abducent nerve and produce a small round swelling in the floor of the 4th ventricle. The superior salivary and lacrimatory nuclei of the facial nerve are also present in the lower half of the of pons. These nuclei are small collections of cholinergic nerve cells in dorso-lateral reticular formation. The neuron of these two nuclei seems to be intermingled with each other.
