Abstract

New developments in EPG3 software are described including: a three-dimensional display of the electrodes on the palate in the form of a wire frame representation; a facility for annotating EPG3 files; and a new data management system. Recent methods of EPG data reduction are also described, including numerical indices for representing tongue-palate contact profiles. A new clinical version of the Reading EPG system, EPG4, is introduced.

Extracting quantitative information from digital electrogastrograms.

Cutaneous recordings of gastric electrical activity (electrogastrography (EGG)) could become a valuable non-invasive tool for recognising gastric electrical abnormalities. Although signals obtained with internally implanted electrodes deliver quantitative information, this technique cannot be used for diagnostic purposes because of its invasive nature. On the other hand, the objectivity of electrogastrography is still in question. The aims of this work are to develop computer techniques for extracting quantitative information from digital electrogastrograms, and to evaluate quantitatively EGG recordings from healthy volunteers. The dynamics of all four EGG parameters are studied: amplitude, frequency, time shift between different channels, and waveform. Four separate two-dimensional computer plots are developed using specially designed digital signal-processing procedures. Each parameter is evaluated in a study of 20 healthy volunteers. Frequency is found to be the only EGG parameter that shows quantitative consistency and merit.

Thoracic outlet syndrome.

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is the term commonly used to describe patients with symptoms attributed to compression of the brachial plexus and subclavian vein and artery in the region of the thoracic inlet/outlet. TOS remains extremely controversial with respect to its existence, diagnosis, conservative management, and surgical treatment. The diagnosis is based upon clinical evaluation, reproduction of patient symptoms with arm elevation, and the absence of other relevant pathology. Conservative management should be directed towards correction of postural abnormalities and muscle imbalance in the cervicoscapular region. Patient education compliance to a home exercise program and behavioral modification at home, work, and sleep is necessary for a successful outcome. Surgical decompression of the brachial plexus is best achieved through a supraclavicular approach and should be reserved for the few patients in which conservative management has failed to improve symptoms.
