 The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Wrist Pain From Overuse
Intersection syndrome is a tendinitis or friction tendinitis in the first and second dorsal compartments (figure 1) (3).
Intersection syndrome has also been described as a stenosing tenosynovitis of the sheath of the second compartment (the radial extensors) where it traverses the muscle bellies of the first compartment (the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis) (1).
Intersection syndrome has also been described in rowers, indoor racket players, canoeists, and weight lifters who overuse their radial extensor of the wrist by excessive curling.

In mathematics, the intersection of two sets A and B is the set that contains all elements of A that also belong to B (or equivalently, all elements of B that also belong to A), but no other elements.
The intersection of A and B is written "A ∩B".
If the intersection of two sets A and B is empty, that is they have no elements in common, then they are said to be disjoint, denoted: A ∩B = Ø.

 Repetitive strain injury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Repetitive strain injury, also called repetitive stress injury or typing injury, is an occupational overuse syndrome affecting muscles, tendons and nerves in the arms and upper back.
It occurs when muscles in these areas are kept tense for very long periods of time, due to poor posture and/or repetitive motions.
The most famous repetitive strain injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, which is common among assembly line workers but relatively rare among computer users: computer-related arm pain is generally caused by another specific condition.

Because her physician concluded that the left and right wrist conditions were related, employer, rather than reopening the closed left wrist claim, treated the left wrist condition as part of the open right wrist claim.
He explained that, although he had found no objective findings of anything that was a direct residual of the intersection syndrome, he had not attempted to determine the source of the reduced range of motion in the left wrist.
Even if the Board properly accepted his tentative conclusion concerning the residual effect of the intersection syndrome, Nathan did not foreclose the possibility that the reduced range of motion was the result of the tendinitis.

Past ASRS research has documented that the "hurry-up syndrome" — any situation in which pilot performance is degraded by a perceived or actual need to rush the completion of cockpit tasks — often results in downstream safety incidents.
In practical terms, this means that omissions or oversights made during pre-flight and taxi-out often manifest themselves during takeoff and departure.

This intersection occurs dorsoradially at the junction of the middle and distal thirds of the forearm, just proximal to the extensor retinaculum.
If the physician suspects a radial sensory nerve neuropraxia rather than intersection syndrome as the cause of the patient's symptoms, nerve conduction studies may be helpful.
In the author's experience, nonoperative treatment of intersection syndrome is successful in approximately 75% of cases; surgical decompression of the second extensor compartment is effective in the remainder of patients.

Because the QT-interval is variable and other typical signs of long QT syndrome are subtle, the diagnosis from a ECG can be difficult.
In this nomogram, representative QT and R-R intervals are measured in millimeters on a routine 25mm/sec ECG and their intersection plotted using the graph.
If the intersection lies in the borderline or greater than 0.46 range, the QT interval is considered prolonged.

A. Initial nonsurgical management is appropriate for all patients with nerve entrapment syndromes, except as specified in subitem (2), and must be the first phase of treatment.
(3) The only surgical procedures indicated for patients with shoulder impingement syndrome and related conditions are rotator cuff repair, acromioplasty, excision of distal clavicle, excision of bursa, removal of adhesion, or repair of proximal biceps tendon, all of which must meet the parameters of part 5221.6500, subpart 3.
C. If the patient continues with symptoms and objective physical findings after surgery, or the patient refused surgery or was not a candidate for surgery, and if the patient's condition prevents the resumption of the regular activities of daily life including regular vocational activities, then the patient may be a candidate for chronic management.
