The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Distal Biceps Rupture The distal biceps tendon was not palpable at its insertion. Distal biceps brachii tendon rupture from the radial tuberosity (bicipital tuberosity) occurs far less frequently than its proximal counterpart, though the true prevalence is unknown.

Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Structures that are close to the center of the body are proximal or central, while ones far removed are distal or peripheral. For example, the hands are at the distal end of the arms, while the shoulders are at the proximal ends. Distal to the carpal joint, the term dorsal replaces cranial and palmar replaces caudal. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Distal   (1330 words)

Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (interventional procedures consultation) Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is the removal of the left part of the pancreas (an organ in the upper abdomen that is involved in digestion and produces insulin). Current evidence on the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy appears adequate to support the use of this procedure provided that normal arrangements are in place for consent, audit and clinical governance. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy should only be performed in centres specialising in pancreatic surgery and with appropriate expertise in advanced laparoscopic techniques, and in the context of a multidisciplinary team, which should usually include a pancreatic surgeon, a gastroenterologist, an endocrinologist and a pathologist. www.nice.org.uk /article.aspx?mode=text&o=ip315consultation   (952 words)

Advances in Distal Radius Fixation Because the distal radial metaphysis consists of soft spongy bone and often becomes highly comminuted, internal fixation of this part of the human anatomy was difficult if not impossible to perform using conventional techniques. The second great obstacle to stable internal fixation of distal radius fractures is the soft tissue problems resulting usually from the application of large metallic implants on the dorsum of the distal radius. The volar plate should have a volar buttress extension distal to the origin of the pegs for stabilization of volar marginal fragments; this is especially important for the stabilization of the comminuted lunate fossa. www.orthopedictechreview.com /issues/marapr03/pg30.htm   (1765 words)

The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Osteolysis of the Distal Clavicle In Brief: Osteolysis of the distal clavicle is a pathologic process involving resorption of the distal clavicle and is usually posttraumatic or caused by the repetitive microtrauma of weight lifting. Osteolysis of the distal clavicle is typically associated with AC pain and, on radiographs, a loss of subchondral bone detail, AC separation, and cystic changes (1).

Distal Muscular Dystrophy Distal muscular dystrophy is the rarest type of muscular dystrophy (MD). The distal muscles are those of the extremities, (distal meaning farthest from the center) and include muscles in the hands, forearms, lower legs, and feet. The onset of distal MD generally occurs between the ages of 40 and 60, and the primary symptom is weakness in the hands and other affected muscles. clevelandclinic.org /health/health-info/docs/2100/2107.asp?index=8879   (820 words)

Role of endogenous cortisol in basal liquid clearance from distal air spaces in adult guinea-pigs -- Norlin et al. 519 ... Distal air space liquid clearance was measured in all animals as described in 'General experimental protocol'. This suggested that the decrease in distal air space liquid clearance after cortisol inhibition was indeed related to a decrease in amiloride-sensitive Na uptake pathways across the distal air space epithelium. The failure of propranolol to decrease distal air space liquid clearance could, however, be due to the fact that propranolol is given into the distal air spaces, since circulating catecholamines act on basolateral adrenergic receptors. jp.physoc.org /cgi/content/full/519/1/261   (8139 words)

Distal spinal muscular atrophy, type V - Genetics Home Reference How common is distal spinal muscular atrophy, type V? The incidence of distal spinal muscular atrophy, type V is unknown; only a small number of cases have been reported. What genes are related to distal spinal muscular atrophy, type V? Mutations in the GARS gene cause distal spinal muscular atrophy, type V. Although the consequences of an altered GARS gene are not clearly understood, the function of the nerve fiber (axon) is probably disturbed. How do people inherit distal spinal muscular atrophy, type V? This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. ghr.nlm.nih.gov /ghr/disease/distalspinalmuscularatrophytypev   (544 words)

DistAl Simulator The DistAl algorithm was particularly interesting because, unlike many other Instance Based Learning approaches, DistAl only computes inter-pattern distances once, resulting in improved time efficiency. Implements the DistAl algorithm as described by Yang, Parekh, and Honavar. Specifically, you would alter the train method in DistAl to build the distance matrix (using only Comparable attributes, not necessarily all the attributes in the feature vector), ensure that the sort on the DistanceABMatrix correctly sorts by a priori class, and look for class clusters in the columns. sean-janus.optionpc.com /truman/summer-research/software/distal-sim.html   (791 words)
