Outcomes after occupational therapy intervention for traumatic brachial plexus injury: A prospective longitudinal cohort study

Study DesignProspective longitudinal cohort study.IntroductionTraumatic brachial plexus injuries (BPIs) can be devastating and negatively impact daily function and quality of life. Occupational therapists play an important role in rehabilitation; however, studies identifying outcomes are lacking.PurposeThis study aims to describe outcomes including motor recovery, upper limb function, participation, pain, and quality of life for people receiving occupational therapy intervention.MethodsA convenience sample of English-speaking adults (n = 30) with a traumatic BPI, attending the clinic between December 1, 2014, to November 30, 2016, participated. Participants received occupational therapy focusing on sensorimotor retraining and activity-based rehabilitation. Data on active range of motion (goniometry), strength (Medical Research Council (MRC)), upper-limb function (UEFI15, QuickDASH), participation (PSFS), pain (Brief Pain Inventory), and quality of life (EQ-5D-3L) were collected at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.ResultsElbow flexion strength showed significant improvement at all time-points, average increase 2.17 (MRC) (95% confidence interval: 1.29-3.04; P < .001) and mean final MRC grading 3.86 (standard error: 0.44). Significant improvements at 12 months were seen in: shoulder abduction strength and range, flexion strength and range, external rotation range; elbow extension strength and flexion range; thumb flexion and extension strength. Upper limb function (QuickDASH) showed significant improvement (mean change = 18.85; 95% confidence interval: 4.12-33.59; P = .02). Forearm protonation range and finger flexion strength were significantly worse. Remaining outcomes did not show significant improvement.ConclusionsOccupational therapy with surgical intervention can improve strength, range, and upper limb function with people following traumatic BPI. Further investigations into impact on participation, pain, and quality of life are required.

Inherited focal, episodic neuropathies

Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP; also called tomaculous neuropathy) is an autosomal-dominant disorder that produces a painless episodic, recurrent, focal demyelinating neuropathy. HNPP generally develops during adolescence, and may cause attacks of numbness, muscular weakness, and atrophy. Peroneal palsies, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other entrapment neuropathies may be frequent manifestations of HNPP. Motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities may be reduced in clinically affected patients, as well as in asymptomatic gene carriers. The histopathological changes observed in peripheral nerves of HNPP patients include segmental demyelination and tomaculous or “sausage-like” formations. Mild overlap of clinical features with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease type 1 (CMT1) may lead patients with HNPP to be misdiagnosed as having CMT1. HNPP and CMT1 are both demyelinating neuropathies, however, their clinical, pathological, and electrophysiological features are quite distinct. HNPP is most frequently associated with a 1.4-Mb pair deletion on chromosome 17p12. A duplication of the identical region leads to CMT1A. Both HNPP and CMT1A result from a dosage effect of the PMP22 gene, which is contained within the deleted/duplicated region. This is reflected in reduced mRNA and protein levels in sural nerve biopsy samples from HNPP patients. Treatment for HNPP consists of preventative and symptom-easing measures. Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA; also called familial brachial plexus neuropathy) is an autosomal-dominant disorder causing episodes of paralysis and muscle weakness initiated by severe pain. Individuals with HNA may suffer repeated episodes of intense pain, paralysis, and sensory disturbances in an affected limb. The onset of HNA is at birth or later in childhood with prognosis for recovery usually favorable; however, persons with HNA may have permanent residual neurological dysfunction following attack(s). Episodes are often triggered by infections, immunizations, the puerperium, and stress. Electrophysiological studies show normal or mildly prolonged motor nerve conduction velocities distal to the affected brachial plexus. Pathological studies have found axonal degeneration in nerves examined distal to the plexus abnormality. In some HNA pedigrees there are characteristic facial features, including hypotelorism. The prognosis for recovery of normal function of affected limbs in HNA is good, although recurrent episodes may cause residual deficits. HNA is genetically linked to chromosome 17q25, where mutations in the septin-9 (SEPT9) gene have been found.     

臂丛神经阻滞加用地塞米松和小剂量吗啡用于术后镇痛的效果观察

目的 观察臂丛神经阻滞的局麻药液中加入地塞米松和小剂量吗啡用于术后镇痛的效果和副作用。方法 80例患者随机分为A、B、C、D四组。全部用肌间沟法臂丛神经阻滞，A组（n=20)注入0.5%布比卡因、2%利多卡因等量混合液25ml；B组（n=20)注入A组用药加地塞米松10mg(2ml)；C组（n=20)注入A组用药加吗啡2mg(0.2ml)；D组（n=20)注入A组用药加地塞米松10mg(2ml)、吗啡2mg(0.2ml)。结果 B、C、D组与A组相比起效时间显著缩短、镇痛时间显著延长，差异非常显著（P＜0.01)；而D组和B、C组相比镇痛时间又明显延长，差异非常显著（P＜0.01)；C组中有1例（5％）因发生恶心呕吐，其余多组无并发症发生。结论 臂丛神经阻滞的局麻药液中加入地塞米松和小剂量吗啡用于术后镇痛，镇痛时间长，效果可靠，副作用少，操作方便，经济实用。     

Focal vulnerability of developing brain: CT studies on disproportionally dilated lateral ventricles

Summary Cranial computed tomography (CT) of 108 cases with dilated lateral ventricles was reviewed to elucidate the relationship between focal vulnerability of developing brain and disproportional dilatation of lateral ventricles. CT findings of 108 cases with symmetrical dilatation of lateral ventricles were classified into three types by morphometry of lateral ventricles: anterior horn predominant type (31 cases), diffuse type (36 cases), posterior horn predominant type (41 cases). Posterior horn predominant type has a tendency to occur in congenital anomalies and premature brain damage, and anterior horn predominant type in infantile brain damage. This disproportional dilatation of anterior or posterior horns suggests a vulnerability of periventricular structure in developing brain.     

影响终末期肾衰竭患者心脏扩大的因素

目的了解成都铁路分局医院血液进化中心终末期肾衰竭并维持性血液透析患者心脏扩大的影响因素,以便提高患者的血液透析质量和生存率。方法回顾本血液净化中心收治的216例终末期肾衰竭并维持性血液透析2月以上患者,根据心脏彩色多普勒检查,分为心脏扩大与心脏未扩大2组,对可能影响心脏扩大的因素:年龄、血液透析病程、每周血液透析时间、高血压、容量超负荷、血红蛋白水平、低蛋白血症等用SPSS10.0软件作Logistic回归分析。结果终末期肾衰竭并维持性血液透析患者216例,心脏扩大者183例,未扩大者33例,心脏扩大的发生率为84.72%。心脏扩大与容量超负荷呈显著正相关,P=0.002,OR值42.619;心脏扩大与高血压呈正相关,P=0.026,OR值15.353;心脏扩大与血红蛋白水平呈负相关,P=0.043,OR值0.934。心脏扩大与年龄、血液透析病程、每周血液透析时间和低蛋白血症无相关关系。结论终未期肾衰竭并维持性血液透析患者心脏扩大发生率高,而容量超负荷、高血压、血红蛋白水平是影响它的关键,高血压及容量超负荷是促进心脏扩大的独立危险因素,血红蛋白水平下降亦是促进心脏扩大的独立危险因素。
