Is the left/right judgment task performance altered in unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome: And associated with symptom severity?

Background: Left/right judgment task performance (LRJT) is impaired in severe neuropathic pain conditions. However, comparison of LRJT performance in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with a control group with similar cognitive functions has not been investigated.

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the LRJT performance of CTS patients with healthy controls and the unaffected side.

Horner's Syndrome and Vertebral Artery Occlusion Concomitant With Brachial Plexus Injury in a Patient With Anterior Approach Cervical Disc Herniation Surgery.

Horner's syndrome is one of the rare complications after anterior approach intervertebral disc herniation surgery. Here, we described a 35-year-old male patient with Horner's syndrome accompanied by brachial plexus injury at the upper trunk level and vertebral artery occlusion after anterior ipsilateral approach cervical discectomy and cervical disc prosthesis operation. We are not aware of a similar case of these complications after this operation in the literature.

Assessment of subclinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with healthy controls with respect to subclinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Methods: A total of 44 patients with AS with no history of CVD, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and lipid-lowering drug use were compared with 40 age- and sex-matched healthy controls with respect to carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and pulse wave velocity (PWV), which are surrogate markers of subclinical atherosclerosis. Correlation analysis was also performed to examine the association between surrogate markers and disease activity with inflammation [Ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score with C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP)].
