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...

Palmaris profundus: one name, several subtypes, and a shared potential for nerve compression.

30 Aug 2009 The palmaris profundus is a rare, but known anatomic variation which may lead to compression of the median nerve and/or its branches. Two patients with carpal tunnel syndrome are presented in whom a palmaris profundus was discovered at operation. In ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Median Nerve'

Definition: 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.
