Background: Carpal tunnel release outcomes in diabetic and non-diabetic patients are conflicting, possibly due to lack of differentiating patients with axonal neuropathy and those without axonal neuropathy.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-five diabetic and 106 non-diabetic patients who failed conservative treatment and then underwent carpal tunnel release from 2015 to 2022 were selected from a hand surgeon's patient database. Diagnosis was established with parameters established with the CTS-6 Evaluation Tool, and electrodiagnosis when indicated.
Background: Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant, small biothiol antioxidant. GSH redox state (E) supports developmental processes, yet with disrupted GSH E, poor developmental outcomes may occur. The role of subcellular, compartmentalized redox environments in the context of redox regulation of differentiation is not well understood.

- Arthroscopic and open surgeries for distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability can lead to dissatisfaction and recurrence, suggesting limited open approaches with bone anchors as a better option.
- A study reviewed 58 patients with type 1B Palmer rupture of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) treated with two types of bone anchors, showing significant improvements in pain and function post-surgery.
- Both Stryker Sonic and Depuy Mitek anchors provided similar outcomes with no recurrence after three years, indicating that cost and surgeon preference are key factors in anchor selection.
Objectives: Peripheral neuropathic pain is a common and disabling problem after traumatic brachial plexus injury with global plexopathy secondary to C5 rupture and avulsion of C6, C7, C8, and T1. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate restoration of sensation and pain levels before and after targeted muscle reinnervation to the hand using contralateral C7 nerve transfers in patients who have traumatic brachial plexus injuries with C5 rupture and avulsion of C6, C7, C8, and T1.
Patients And Methods: This paper presents a retrospective review of the outcomes of the surgical management of 11 patients with global plexopathy with C5 rupture and avulsion from C6 to T1 roots.
Lecanosticta acicola is a heterothallic ascomycete that causes brown spot needle blight on native and nonnative Pinus spp. in many regions of the world. In this study we investigated the origin of European L.
