Median Nerve - Physiopathology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Median Nerve'A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand.

Somatosensory evoked potentials during mild hypothermia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Nov 2009 
OBJECTIVE: In patients who remain in a coma after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the bilateral absence of cortical N20 responses of median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) 24 hours after admission invariably correlates with a poor ... Read more...
Minimally invasive carpal tunnel release.
29 Sep 2009 We prospectively compared the safety and effectiveness of mini-incision (group A) and a limited open technique (group B) for carpal tunnel release (CTR) in 185 consecutive patients operated between November 1999 and May 2001, with a 5-year minimum ... Read more...
30 Aug 2009 AIM: To assess the significance of the second lumbrical-interosseous latency (2LI-DML) comparison in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We examined 150 consecutive hands of patients referred with suspected CTS, ... Read more...
