Frequency of median mononeuropathy in patients with mild diabetic neuropathy in the early diabetes intervention trial (EDIT)
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996-02)
We used electrophysiologic criteria to identify median mononeuropathy (MM) of the nondominant wrist among 414 patients enrolled in a multicenter study of patients with mild diabetic neuropathy, according to consensus ...
X-linked bulbospinomuscular atrophy (Kennedy's disease) masquerading as lead neuropathy

A 43-year-old male was referred by a veterinarian who evaluated his dog for a seizure and suspected a toxic lead exposure for both. He refurbished houses, removing old paint, and complained of decreased cognition, fatigue, ...
Chronic electrical stimulation reverses deafness-related depression of electrically evoked 2-deoxyglucose activity in the guinea pig inferior colliculus
(Elsevier, 1993-11)
The [14C]-2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) autoradiographic technique was used to study how auditory-related metabolic activity changes with deafness, and how chronic electrical stimulation of the deafened system may modify these ...
Nonsurgical management of the boutonniere deformity

The relationship between body mass index and the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-06)
Increased weignt and, more recently, body mass index (BMI), have been suggested as risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). In an effort to determine the relative risk (RR) of obesity in the development of CTS, 949 ...
Metabolic reduction in the posterior cingulate cortex in very early Alzheimer's disease

This study investigated cerebral glucose metabolism in very early Alzheimer's disease, before a clinical diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease is possible, using [ 18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. ...
Anxiety and cerebral cortical metabolism in normal persons
(Elsevier, 1990-04)
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was administered to 43 normal volunteers immediately before and after a positron emission tomography (PET) procedure with [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG). High traitanxious ...
