Use of machine learning methods in diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition diagnosed using physical exams and electromyography (EMG) data. This study aimed to classify CTS severity using machine learning techniques. EMG data from 154 patients, including measurements of motor and sensory latency, velocity, and amplitude, were used to form a six-dimensional feature space.

Effects of spinal mobilisation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A randomised controlled trial.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of spinal mobilisation on curvature magnitude, angle of trunk rotation (ATR) and pulmonary function in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Methods: Conducted as a double-blind randomised controlled trial, the study included 40 patients with AIS (Cobb angles 10°-25°) randomised to experimental (n = 20; female = 12, male = 8; age = 12.9 ± 1.

Traction therapy in lumbar disc hernias: A finite element analysis study.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the results of lumbar traction treatment at different traction angles and different traction forces using the finite element analysis (FEA).

Materials And Methods: Computed tomography (CT) images of a healthy 35-year-old male patient who had no history of trauma or fracture were modeled in three-dimensional (3D) with Mimics® software for the lumbosacral spine model. Ligaments and discs were created on the 3D spine model in the SolidWorks® program.

3D volumetric evaluation of the diagnosis and severity of carpal tunnel syndrome using MRI.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve compression syndrome. The usage of clinical tests and nerve conduction studies (NCS), as well as ultrasonography and magnetic resonance images (MRI), have recently become widespread to diagnose CTS. This study aims to determine the alteration of the carpal tunnel volume based on disease seriousness by MIMICS 19.

The relationship between vitamin D, vertebral deformity and quality of life in psoriatic arthritis.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between vitamin D levels, vertebral deformities, functional status, quality of life, acute phase reactants and enthesopathy in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Patients And Methods: Fifty-two patients with PsA and 52 controls were enrolled to the study. Routine blood tests and serums 25-(OH)D3 were measured.

Common extensor tendon thickness measurements at the radiocapitellar region in diagnosis of lateral elbow tendinopathy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the value of measuring common extensor tendon (CET) thickness at the radiocapitellar and capitellar regions with qualitative ultrasonographic findings in the diagnosis of lateral elbow tendinopathy.

Materials And Methods: The study included 164 lateral elbow tendinopathy patients (84 bilateral, 80 unilateral) matched by age, gender, and body mass index with 80 normal subjects. CET was examined using gray-scale and Doppler ultrasonography for tendinopathy, and tendon thickness was measured at two landmark locations: capitellar and radiocapitellar.
