Syndactyly and split hand. Supplement.

Abstract

In a series of studies of clinical and radiological features of hand anomalies, the author has recently encountered cases which may be explained by reference to the relationship between syndactyly and split hand. These cases suggested how the typical split hand is formed prenatally, and it is concluded that the typical split hand should not be classed as "Arrest of Development of Parts" due to embryonal failures.

High resolution MRI of the normal finger at 0.1 T: anatomic correlations.

MR images of the fingers are obtained in a 128 x 128 or 256 x 256 matrix format using a prototype of a mini imager dedicated to the hand. The vertical field of 0.1 T is provided by an electro-magnet with an air gap of 15 cm equipped with a single solenoidal coil. No Faraday cage is used. The maximum in plane pixel resolution of 100 mu is obtained for a field of view of 2.5 cm with a slice thickness of 2 mm. The identification of fine structures of the finger is demonstrated by the anatomical and histological correlations. This type of imager which is adapted to very limited field of views demonstrate that high resolution MRI of limb extremities can be achieved at 0.1 T.

In vitro performance test system for pulse oximeters.

An in vitro system was developed capable of testing the accuracy and reproducibility of pulse oximeter readings. The pulse oximeter probe receives signals through a pulsating blood cuvette. The development of the design of the cuvette is described. Using the final design (or 'model finger'), a comparison is made between readings from a Datex Satlite pulse oximeter (SpO2) and saturation values obtained by use of a multi-wavelength bench oximeter (SaO2). Linear regression analysis of the data gives SpO2 = 0.88 SaO2 + 11.2 (r = 0.979, p < 0.001).

Normal sympathetic nerve activity in a reflex sympathetic dystrophy with marked skin vasoconstriction.

Intraneural recording in skin fascicles of the left ulnar nerve was performed in a 51 year old patient with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (allodynia, marked vasoconstriction in the ulnar part of the left hand) following Vth finger amputation. Skin sympathetic activity showed normal characteristics with a weak discharge at rest whereas bursts of impulses could be evoked by sympatho-excitatory stimuli. Sympathetic bursts induced by painful stimuli were few, also during long-lasting allodynic pain. Sympathetic bursts induced by inspiratory gasps were not associated with excacerbation of pain. The discrepancy between the marked skin vasoconstriction and the low resting sympathetic discharge underlines the fact that sympathetic effector organ hyperactivity (i.e. vasoconstriction and/or hyperhidrosis) cannot be taken as evidence for increased sympathetic discharge. In the present case, the neuropathic pain syndrome cannot be considered as maintained by an increased sympathetic neural discharge to the symptomatic limb.
