Metal Stamping

Occupational health is considered as a crucial element in almost every Small and Medium Industries (SMIs) and it is believed to be one of vital challenges that can influence productivity and competitiveness. It has been known that the metal stamping industry involved a lot of materials handling tasks such as carrying stamped parts from machine to packaging section, transferring moulds from tools store to machines, sorting the finished products and others. Appropriate materials handling equipments are not often provided in SMIs because of the limitation of capital and lack of ergonomics awareness. The workers have to handle the materials and goods manually. These practices may lead to occupational injuries particularly back pain and musculoskeletal injuries. The objectives of the research are to assess and analyze the muscles activity of workers in metal stamping industry. Three male workers who performed metal stamping process using manual technique were participated in the research. Ergonomic assessment associated with Surface Electromyography (SEMG) was used to capture and interpret the data related to muscles activity at before and after the ergonomic intervention. For the purpose of muscle activity assessment, SEMG electrodes were attached to eight critical muscles: deltoid muscle-medial part (left), deltoid muscle-medial part (right), trapezius muscle (left), trapezius muscle (right), erector spinae muscle (left), erector spinae muscle (right), gastrocnemius muscle (left) and gastrocnemius muscle (right). An ergonomically designed workstation has improved working posture and reduced the total muscle work/loading by about 43 % if it is properly utilized. This design approach can be adopted to improve the working conditions of industrial workers and thus enhance the occupational health practices.

Human hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease caused by the larvae of the Echinococcus species, most commonly the Echinococcus granulosus. Although hydatid cyst can cause disease almost anywhere in the human body, it most commonly affects the liver and lungs. Primary musculoskeletal hydatid involvement is a very rare occurrence even in endemic regions. Musculoskeletal hydatid disease shows no pathognomonic clinical signs and symptoms. And the contribution of serology to the diagnosis is negligible due to the high rate of false-negative results. Therefore, radiological imaging studies have a critical role in the diagnosis of the disease. To the best of our knowledge, there are only a few case reports of primary hydatid involvement of the adductor magnus muscle in the current literature. Here we present a 55-year-old female patient with primary hydatid cyst in the adductor magnus muscle and discuss the case in terms of imaging.

Introduction: Adductor hiatus (AH), an osseo- muscular or osseo- fibrous space between adductor magnus muscle or aponeurosis and the shaft of femur has been classified into four different types. The interest in the hiatus is due to the large vascular structures that traverses the hiatus which is of concern to the surgeons. Materials and Methods: A total of 61 embalmed cadavers (102 limbs), 35 female lower limbs and 67 male lower limbs were dissected to show AH. Results: The bridging fibrous which shows the highest frequency was observed in 44 limbs. It exhibited incidence of 43.1% prevalence of AH shape on both sexes. The incidence in male was 27.5% while in female it was 15.7%. The bridging muscular type, the least occurrence shows incidence of 17.6% in both sexes; in males, 13.7% and in females, 3.9%. Oval fibrous type shows a prevalence of 20.5% in both sexes, 12.7% in males and 7.8% in females. Oval muscular type shows 18.6% incidence in both sexes. In males, 11.8% and in females, 6.9%. The distance from the apex of AH to the adductor tubercle was measured and shows a range of 5.0cm-17.0cm with a mean distance of 10.3cm. Conclusion: The result of this study showed that bridging fibrous AH type exhibited the highest prevalence depicting variation from another racial study. Therefore to adopt an appropriate surgical intervention in a situation of adductor canal outlet syndrome, the surgeon has to be aware of the population variations. KEY WORDS: Adductor hiatus, Adductor magnus, femoropopliteal compression, Nigerians.
