Two cases of an enormous single-lung metastasis from synovial sarcoma.

30 Oct 2009 Synovial sarcoma constitutes 8% to 10% of all sarcomas, and most commonly it affects adults in the third to fifth decades of life. This malignancy usually involves the extremities, and although local control by curative resection and adjuvant ... Read more...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over bilateral hemispheres enhances motor function and training effect of paretic hand in patients after stroke.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: The interhemispheric competition model proposes that the functional recovery of motor deficits in patients after stroke can be achieved by increasing the excitability of the affected hemisphere or decreasing the excitability of the ... Read more...

Functional sensibility assessment. Part II: Effects of sensory improvement on precise pinch force modulation after transverse carpal tunnel release.

30 Oct 2009 Patients with median nerve compression at the carpal tunnel often have poor sensory afferents. Without adequate sensory modulation control, these patients frequently exhibit clumsy performance and excessive force output in the affected hand. We ... Read more...
