Tunnel Syndrome

Anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve is a widely used treatment for cubital tunnel syndrome, but neurolysis performed at the time of surgery may impair the blood supply to the ulnar nerve. This study compared the results of intramuscular anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve with or without preserving the extrinsic vessels of the ulnar nerve in 35 patients. The postoperative nerve conduction velocity and the clinical results were better in the group in which the extrinsic vessels were presented.

Low Level Laser Irradiation

Low level laser therapy is widely used in managing pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal ailments. Its effect on Peripheral nervous system and its function is not yet clearly studied. Objective: To analyze the neurophysiological effect of Low level laser irradiation on ulnar  nerve MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty healthy subjects with age group between 20-30 years of both genders were recruited in this experimental study design.. The procedure was clearly explained  to the subjects and informed consent was obtained. They were  assigned randomly to either Ga. As.Laser group or Sham laser group. All the subject’s were positioned in supine lying with the irradiated dominant hand kept at  135 degrees  of flexion. Ground electrode was placed over the thenar eminence. The subject's skin (electrode placement area) was degreased for proper transmission of laser. Nerve conduction velocity was recorded Antidromically. A 904nm diode  laser was  used to irradiate the skin overlying the ulnar nerve behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus for 20 secs. The laser was set to deliver  continuous energy at 4.0 J/cm².Antidromically  action potential, peak to peak amplitude, onset latency, nerve conduction velocity was recorded before and after irradiation of  the ulnar nerve.            RESULT: The study  revealed that there was a significant difference in onset Latency (P=0.0021) but there was no significant difference in Nerve conduction velocity (P=0.2738) and PPA (P=1.0000) between laser group and sham laser group. CONCLUSIONS: Low level laser irradiation of skin overlying the ulnar nerve resulted in a significant increase in latency in this study. This increase in latency corresponds to a decrease in sensory nerve conduction velocity and could help explain the alleged pain relieving effects of low level laser irradiation.

Background: Pesticides are very harmful for human health especially for farmers who are more in contact with them. Objective: To compare Nerve Conduction Test among agricultural workers exposed to pesticide and non-agricultural workers. Method: A sample size of 83 in each group was selected. A pretested questionnaire was prepared comprising of socio-demographic profile, work practices followed by agricultural pesticide sprayers, detail clinical history & findings of Nerve Conduction Test. Result: The mean Latency in occasional pesticide sprayer was 3.12 ± 0.95 and in regular pesticide sprayer was 3.88 ± 1.08, on applying student t test the result was observed to be significant. The mean conduction velocity in occasional pesticide sprayer was 52.95 ± 11.28 and regular pesticide sprayer was 43.96 ± 12.34, on applying student t test the result was significant.  Conclusion: agricultural workers, pesticide sprayers, nerve conduction test, occupational health  Keywords: Pesticide, agriculture workers, Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) test, Personal Protective Equipments (PPE).
