Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed at investigating the effect of median nerve stimulation on ipsilateral cortical potentials evoked by contralateral median nerve electrical stimulation.
Methods: We recorded somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) from the left parietal cortex in 15 right-handed, healthy subjects. We administered bilateral median nerve stimulation, with the ipsilateral stimulation preceding the stimulation on the contralateral by intervals of 5, 10, 20, or 40 ms. We adjusted these intervals based on each individual's N20 latency. As a measure of S1 excitability, the amplitude of the N20 and the area of the High Frequency Oscillation (HFO) burst were analyzed for each condition.
Results: The results revealed significant inhibition of N20 amplitude by ipsilateral median nerve stimulation at interstimulus intervals (ISIs) between 5 and 40 ms. Late HFO burst was suppressed at short ISIs of 5 and 10 ms, pointing to a transcallosal inhibitory effect on S1 intracortical circuits.
Conclusions: Findings suggest interhemispheric interaction between the primary somatosensory areas, supporting the existence of transcallosal transfer of tactile information.
Significance: This study provides valuable insights into the interhemispheric connections between primary sensory areas and underscore the potential role of interhemispheric interactions in somatosensory processing.

Objective: To describe and compare arthroscopy-assisted (AA) with fluoroscopy-assisted (FA) minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for simple transverse acetabular fractures.
Study Design: Ex vivo cadaveric study.
Sample Population: A total of 10 canine cadavers (>20 kg) without coxofemoral joint disease.
Background: Ultrasound measurement of median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) is widely used in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) diagnosis. This study compared 3 common measurement methods: A-B, Ellipse, and Trace to evaluate their reliability and accuracy.
Methods: Two observers (experienced hand surgeon and orthopedic surgery resident) measured median nerve CSA in 10 patients with suspected CTS.

Objective: This study presents a comparative analysis of outcomes of lateral orbital wall decompression performed using ultrasonic bone removal with standard and modified techniques.
Material And Methods: The study included 78 patients (109 orbits) with exophthalmos without visual impairment (subgroups 1A and 1B) and with optic neuropathy (ON) due to thyroid eye disease (TED) (subgroups 2A and 2B). Lateral wall decompression (LWD) was performed using ultrasonic bone removal with a modified (=58, patient subgroups 1A and 2A) or standard (=51, subgroups 1B and 2B) technique.
