Triceps to axillary nerve transfer is used in partial plexus injuries where the C5/6 component is damaged and the C7/8 and T1 are intact. The typical indication is in the C5 or C5/6 avulsion injury but it may also be used in cases of C5/6 rupture where presentation is delayed, grafting of the upper trunk has not been successful or in continuity lesions of the upper trunk that failed to reinnervate. It may also be used to salvage the axillary nerve rupture at the quadrilateral space associated with high energy shoulder dislocation or the rare non-recovering isolated lesion in continuity of the axillary nerve following a low energy shoulder dislocation.

There are many different types of conditions that cause back pain. Like most medical conditions, back pain is treatable through several methodologies. Determining what condition you have is the key to determining the right treatment option for you. Back pain comes in many forms, lower back pain, middle back pain, and upper back pain are just a few of the symptoms associated with spinalconditions. You may also have pain or tingling in your extremities that may be indications of spinal conditions. Feel free to browse through our articles about conditions. Contact your doctor to set up an appointment to start your road to recovery.
Every person is different, so symptoms of conditions may present
differently for different people. Symptoms also vary depending on the
condition, its severity, location, and other factors.
The Oberlin transfers are useful for reinnervation of the biceps and brachialis in C5/6 avulsion injuries when there is a complete loss of elbow flexion (brachioradialis also denervated) or when recovery is poor following nerve grafting of upper trunk, lateral cord or musculocutaneous nerve ruptures or neuromata in continuity. An isolated nerve transfer to brachialis may be used when there is recovery expected to biceps but the time-distance phenomenon renders the more distally placed brachialis recovery potential limited.

Mountain Valley Pipeline, Analysis of Environmental IssuesJacqueline Tkac
The following report addresses the impacts of highest concern from residential community members as well as the scientific community. The primary focus of the report is on environmental impacts, especially relating to karst topography, but also addresses four non-environmental concerns of significant importance. These include economic issues, eminent domain, Appalachian culture, and community engagement. Our conclusions are based on a set of ten recommendations to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), LLC that outline the need for oversight, mitigation, community engagement, and cumulative impact analysis. The approval of the Mountain Valley Pipeline should be contingent on these recommendations.
The Yuan’s Rise as an International CurrencyBloomberg LP
China’s share of total payments processed on the Swift network continues to edge up. As of February 2015, the yuan accounted for 1.8 percent of total payments, up from 1.4 percent a year earlier. That makes the yuan the seventh most used global currency, fractionally behind the Canadian dollar and the Swiss franc. The jump to overtake the Japanese yen, which accounts for 2.8 percent of global payments, may take a while longer.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Somsak nerve transfer
1. Instructions for Somsak
Nerve transfer
N to long head of triceps to
anterior division of the
axillary nerve
Compiled by Dr S Selvaganesh
Hand Surgery Fellow KTPH
7. Incision
• Specimen in prone position
• Make a 10cm longitudinal curvilinear incision on the posterior arm.
• From the level of the quadrilateral space following the posterior order
of deltoid and continuing distally along the midpoint of triceps.
8.
9.
10.
11. Superficial dissection
• Lift up the skin flaps - look for the upper lateral cutaneous nerve of
the arm (ULCNA) – will guide to the posterior division
• This branch can be confirmed by gentle traction, which dimples the
skin
12.
13.
14.
15.
16. Deep dissection
• Split the fascia at the point where the ULCNA pierces - trace this back
to the posterior division of the axillary nerve - loop
• Follow the posterior division deep until the anterior division is
identified - trace distally to the deltoid muscle
• (The anatomy in the space may be difficult to define and axillary
vessels may cross the nerve branches)
24. Deep dissection
• If ULCNA unidentified, identify the anterior division
• Anterior division – passes deep to the posterior border of the deltoid
muscle - 5cm distal to the postero-lateral corner of the acromion
• There are usually two main branches and lifting the deltoid using a
retractor placed more proximally facilitates this exposure without
risking damage to the nerve branches
• Use a rubber surgical loop to tag the anterior and posterior divisions
of the axillary nerve
29. Deep dissection – between long & lateral
heads of triceps
• Identify a fat streak on the triceps
• Develop the plane between the long and lateral heads of triceps -
gentle finger dissection
• Carefully place a self-retaining retractor in this interval – avoid
damage to the triceps branches
• The white tendon of latissimus dorsi – between quadranqular (axillary
nerve) & triangular spaces (RN & Branches)
• Tag each nerve with surgical loops
30.
31.
32.
33.
34.
35.
36.
37. Recipient Division
• Divide the axillary nerve as proximally as possible – gentle loop
surgical traction
• Separation of the anterior and posterior divisions by endoneurolysis
• (Avoid injury to the axillary artery or vein branches in the
quadrilateral space)
• Select a donor muscle branch from triceps long head (Somsak) or
medial head branch
38.
39.
40.
41. Donor Division
• The posterior cutaneous nerve of the arm lies on top of the main
radial nerve – can confuse
• Trace the branch distally to see where the motor branch enters the
muscle & confirm with the faculty
• Divide donor distally – external neurolysis using gentle surgical loop
retraction
42.
43.
44. Coaptation
• Coapt using 9’0 nylon 2 - 3 sutures - use microscope
• (May be supported with Tisseel fibrin glue)
• Ensure tension free and remain tension free throughout a full passive
range of shoulder motion
