Article Synopsis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that arises from nerve compression, and accurately grading its severity is crucial for treatment decisions.
- This study examined 50 patients experiencing CTS, analyzing their electrodiagnostic results and using ultrasound to measure the cross-sectional area of the median nerve at the wrist.
- The results indicated a significant correlation between the severity of CTS and the findings from both ultrasound and electrodiagnosis, showing that the mean measurements increase as the severity of the condition worsens.
Safety and efficacy of placental mesenchymal stromal cells-derived extracellular vesicles in knee osteoarthritis: a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the safety and effectiveness of injecting placental mesenchymal stromal cells-derived extracellular vesicles into knees of patients with osteoarthritis, comparing it to a control group who received saline injections.
- - In a triple-blind, randomized clinical trial involving 62 knees (31 patients), various measures, including pain and function assessments, were taken before and after the treatment, but no significant improvements were found between the two groups after 2 and 6 months.
- - The conclusion highlighted that while the injection was safe with no severe reactions observed, it did not lead to any clinical improvement in knee osteoarthritis symptoms or MRI findings.
Objectives: The aim of the study is to evaluate muscles with more prominent needle electromyographic findings to optimize needle electromyography screening of isolated C6 radiculopathy in patients with C6 root lesions.
Design: This prospective clinical study was performed on 39 patients with isolated and unilateral cervical radiculopathy selected from all referrals of 1733 patients to the electrodiagnosis unit of the physical medicine and rehabilitation department of a tertiary medical center (from April 2021 to December 2021). The presence of fibrillation potentials, positive sharp waves, and/or neurogenic motor action potentials that occurred in isolation or combination with selected muscles was considered an abnormal finding.
