A new ankylosaurid from the Upper Cretaceous Nemegt Formation of Mongolia and implications for paleoecology of armoured dinosaurs.

A new ankylosaurid dinosaur, Tarchia tumanovae sp. nov., has been recovered from the Upper Cretaceous Nemegt Formation of Mongolia.

Safe Approach for Flexor Digitorum Profundus I and II Using the Palmaris Longus Tendon.

Objective: To investigate a safe and accurate approach to achieve needle insertion for electromyography (EMG) of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) I and II muscles by identifying the anatomic relationship between the palmaris longus (PL) tendon, FDP muscle, and neurovascular bundle using ultrasonography.

Design: Descriptive study SETTING: Department of physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Participants: Healthy individuals (age, 20-70y) without any diseases (N=29; 15 men, 14 women; 58 forearms).

Lizards ran bipedally 110 million years ago.

Four heteropod lizard trackways discovered in the Hasandong Formation (Aptian-early Albian), South Korea assigned to Sauripes hadongensis, n. ichnogen., n.

Reappraisal of Supraorbital Sensory Nerve Conduction Recordings: Orthodromic and Antidromic Techniques.

Objective: To establish a supraorbital nerve sensory conduction recording method and assess its usefulness.

Methods: Thirty-one healthy subjects without a history of trauma or neurological disease were recruited. For the orthodromic procedure, the recording electrode was attached immediately superior to the supraorbital notch.

Resolving the long-standing enigmas of a giant ornithomimosaur Deinocheirus mirificus.

The holotype of Deinocheirus mirificus was collected by the 1965 Polish-Mongolian Palaeontological Expedition at Altan Uul III in the southern Gobi of Mongolia. Because the holotype consists mostly of giant forelimbs (2.4 m in length) with scapulocoracoids, for almost 50 years Deinocheirus has remained one of the most mysterious dinosaurs.

Sonography of the median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome with diabetic neuropathy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the criteria for ultrasonographic measurement of the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve and differential diagnosis of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with or without diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN).

Design: One hundred eighty-seven patients were divided into five groups: healthy controls, CTS, diabetes with CTS but without DPN, DPN only, and both DPN and CTS. The CSAs of the median nerve were measured at four levels, and cutoff values to diagnose CTS with DPN were obtained.

Neuroma of medial dorsal cutaneous nerve of superficial peroneal nerve after ankle arthroscopy.

Superficial peroneal neuropathy is a known complication of foot and ankle arthroscopy. A 27-year-old man developed pain and paresthesia on the medial side of the dorsum of his left foot after ankle arthroscopy. An electrodiagnostic study revealed conduction abnormality in the medial branch of superficial peroneal nerve, in which neuroma-in-continuity was subsequently detected by ultrasonography.

Ultrasonography of palm to elbow segment of median nerve in different degrees of diabetic polyneuropathy.

Objective: To identify the relationship between the ultrasonographic cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve and electrophysiologic findings in diabetic patients.

Methods: Sixty diabetic patients, 30 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and 30 healthy volunteers participated. The participants were divided into 4 groups: Control Group; Group I, diabetic patients without diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN); Group II, diabetic patients with DPN; and Group III, patients with CTS.

Reference values of fractionated neurography of the ulnar nerve at the wrist in healthy subjects.

Objective: This study is designed to derive a normative database for nerve conduction values of the ulnar nerve in the wrist.

Methods: Ulnar nerve study at the wrist (UNSW) was performed in 204 hands of 102 control subjects. The UNSW was composed of motor and sensory tests.
