Abstract

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Background: Muscle weakness and fatigue are two factors that cause muscle injuries. The roll of motor control is important in regulation and reduction of this effect. Repetition of motion after muscle fatigue is due to the significant role of motor control system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of roll control of central nervous system following fatigue in order to answer primary questions in therapeutic exercises.
Methods: Twenty voluntary healthy subjects participated in this study. Dominant abductor policis brevis after surface electromyography (SEMG) of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) fatigued by maximum three minutes isometric contraction in specific hand splint monitored by dynamometer until reduction of activities to 50% MVC. Before and immediately after fatigue test, 5 dynamic full range of motion in abduction direction performed without resistance and muscle activities recorded by SEMG. Three middle muscle activities selected for comparison of Symmetrical Index (SI) as specificity of motor control assessment. Fatigue indicators were percentage of reduction of MVC and median and mean frequency of power spectrum of MVC before and after fatigue test.
Results: Significant reduction of MVC (46.77%), median (13.03%) and mean (12.20%) frequency were showed (p=0.001), whereas significant increase of SI (10.76%) appeared (p=0.000), following fatigue test.
Conclusion: Fatigue reduces muscle contraction velocity, therefore median and mean frequency decrease. Also after muscle fatigue reduces of muscle proprioception sense appears, that can cause slow dynamic joint motion. Upper central control systems try to correct this situation by involving new motor units and changes of muscle timing. Synchronization of primary and new motor units plays an important role in increase of SI.

Volume 79, Issue 1 (April 2021)
Abstract
Background: The Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus (ECRL) and the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (ECRB) are muscles of the posterior forearm compartment. variations in this area of the forearm are common and are usually diagnosed during surgery. Sometimes these variations are symptomatic and can be helpful in clinical procedures such as surgery. Diagnosis and identification of abnormalities can be used in academic studies to evaluate limb function. Reporting such variations is important in clinical practice and will help treat limb dysfunction. In this report, we report two cases of ECRL and ECRB muscle tendon variations in the upper third of the forearm.
Case presentation: During routine dissection of the body of a 70-year-old man fixed in 10% formalin in the Department of Biology and Anatomy, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, two cases of ECRL and ECRB muscle tendon variations were observed in the upper third of the left forearm. The fascia of the ECRL and ECRB muscles were separated, and following the ECRL muscle from the external epicondyle of the humerus to the outer third of the forearm, we observed that the tendon of this muscle was divided into two branches. We also observed that the ECRB muscle tendon split into two branches slightly below its origin. The branch had moved obliquely toward the lower end of the radius. at the lower end of the forearm, this tendon was connected to the ECRL muscle tendon by passing over the sub-branch of the ECRL muscle tendon and the depth of the retinaculum extensor. The submandibular tendon was attached to the base of the second Metacarpal bone along with the ECRL muscle tendon. The main branch of this muscle also had its main path to the lower end of the forearm. The lower end of the forearm was connected to the dorsal base of the second and third metacarpals by passing under the retinaculum extensor.
Conclusion: Knowing these variations can help radiologists and surgeons in diagnosis and treatment.

Variation in median nerve nutritional artery at the distal end of forearm: case report

Volume 79, Issue 4 (July 2021)
Abstract
Background: The median nerve is one of the most important branches of the brachial plexus. Due to the role of the median nerve in sensory and motor innervation of the forearm and hand in the upper limbs, its blood supply is very important. Awareness of variations in the blood supply pattern to this nerve reduces the incidence of necrosis and ischemia of the nerve during surgical and diagnostic procedures.
Case Presentation: During routine dissection of the cadaver of a 65-year-old man fixed in formalin (10%), in the Department of Anatomy and Reproductive Biology, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, a rare variation was observed in the median nerve nutritional artery at the distal end of the left forearm. After dissection of the skin, superficial and deep fascia, anterior compartment forearm muscles, nerves and blood vessels were exposed from surrounding tissues. The median nerve passed through the two heads of the pronator teres muscle and left the cubital fossa in the depth of the flexor digitorum superficialis and the surface of the flexor digitorum profundus in the forearm. It was observed that at the distal end of the left forearm between the flexor carpi radialis and the flexor digitorum superficialis, a relatively thick branch originates from the radial artery and supplies blood to the median nerve. This branch was separated from the radial artery (before the artery enters the anatomical snuffbox) and crossed the surface of the flexor carpi radialis muscle and inserted into the median nerve sheath. In the forearm, this branch was the only artery supplying blood to the median nerve.
Conclusion: Due to the superficial position of the median nerve at the distal end of the forearm, physical damage to the nerve and its nutritional artery leads to necrosis and ischemia of the nerve, and ultimately disturbed the transmission of sensory and motor messages.

Frequency of causes of otalgia in patients referred to the ENT clinic: a brief report

Volume 81, Issue 6 (September 2023)
Abstract
Background: Otalgia is defined as pain localizing in the ear that can be primary or referred. By careful history and physical examination, all causes in this extensive differential diagnosis can be excluded. Given that otalgia is one of the most common causes for patients to visit the clinic and has a wide variety of differential diagnosis, the purpose of this study is to investigate the frequency of different etiologies of ear pain in patients referred to referral clinic.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on patients presenting with otalgia. After entering the study, the patient underwent a thorough examination of the ear, nose, throat, head and neck, teeth and salivary glands by a resident under the supervision of a senior otologist, and based on the findings, relevant para clinical procedures such as x-ray, CT scan or stroboscopy were performed. Data collection was done based on a data log check list. Samples were collected during six months. SPSS software version 20 was used for analyses.
Results: The most common causes of otalgia were acute otitis media 29%, external otitis 17% and chronic otitis media 15%. Cerumen and referral ear pain were next in line (13.5%). There was significant relationship between otalgia with age groups (The age between 13 and 30 years were the most referred due to otalgia). There was no significant relationship between otalgia and gender, underlying disease, economic status, smoking and opium use.
Conclusion: Given that otalgia is a common complaint in patients referred to the clinic, knowing its causes and origin is useful in diagnosing, proper treating it and avoiding unnecessary para clinical procedures and empirical treatment. The most common causes of otalgia in this study were acute otitis media, otitis externa and chronic otitis media, respectively. Referral otalgia and cerumen impaction were the next causes. Among the age groups, the age between 13 and 30 years were the most referred due to otalgia, but there was no significant relationship with any of the variables of gender, economic status and smoking and opium use.
