[Translated article] Paresthesias on the lateral face of the forearm: A nervous injury that is difficult to recognize.

The lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LACN) is the sensory branch of the musculocutaneous nerve and usually innervates the lateral aspect of the forearm. Isolated lesions are rare, of varied aetiology and generally underdiagnosed. We present a retrospective descriptive study of electromyography performed at the General University Hospital of Castellón in the last 20 years with isolated NCAL lesion.

Trends for Admission and Mortality in Peptic Ulcers at a Tertiary Referral Hospital During the 2017-2021 Period.

The incidence of peptic ulcers has decreased during the last decades; the COVID-19 pandemic may have influenced the peptic ulcer hospitalizations. The study aimed to assess the admissions and mortality for complicated and uncomplicated peptic ulcers and the influence of the pandemic period. Material and We performed an observational study at a tertiary academic center, including all patients admitted for peptic ulcers between 2017-2021.

Neurophysiological study of the radial nerve variant in the innervation of the dorsomedial surface of the hand.

Introduction: Sensory innervation of the dorsomedial surface of the hand usually depends on the dorsal ulnar nerve (DUN). Innervation in this area by the superficial radial nerve (SRN) has been described as a normal variant.

Methods: We studied 358 patients using nerve conduction of the DUN and SRN with dorsomedial recording.

SPONTANEOUS CONCEPTION AND TERM DELIVERY IN A WOMAN WITH UNCONTROLLED ACROMEGALY AND HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM.

Background: Patients with acromegaly (caused by growth-hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas) are at increased risk of hypopituitarism, in particular hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, before and after multimodal therapy. In affected women of reproductive age, fertility is impaired and complex fertility treatments are needed to achieve conception.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a young woman with acromegaly caused by a GH-secreting macroadenoma with suprasellar and bilateral cavernous sinus extension; hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and secondary hypothyroidism were present from the initial evaluation.

Designing biocompatible Ti-based metallic glasses for implant applications.

Ti-based metallic glasses show high potential for implant applications; they overcome in several crucial respects their well-established biocompatible crystalline counterparts, e.g. improved corrosion properties, higher fracture strength and wear resistance, increased elastic strain range and lower Young's modulus.
