Subluxation of the distal radio-ulnar joint by hyperpronation.

Abstract: 1. Six cases of subluxation of the distal radio-ulnar joint by a probable hyperpronation injury are described. In five of the six patients, there is an unusual type of trauma producing the injury; and, in the sixth patient, the presence of severe neuromuscular disease is noted. 2. The injury is a rotatory subluxation of the distal end of the radius on the ulna without evidence of rupture of the dorsal and volar radiocarpal ligaments or the triangular cartilage. 3. The characteristic roentgenographic sign is apparent shifting of the ulnar styloid process laterally when roentgenograms are made in pronation. 4. Possible errors in the making of the roentgenograms at the time of injury are described. 5. Follow-up examination of an untreated injury showed definite disability in the wrist one and a half years later with some limitations of motion. 6. Treatment by closed reduction and immobilization in supination is recommended. 7. An additional case is presented of a three-year-old child who showed all the clinical findings but, because of the lack of ossification in the distal ulnar epiphysis, the roentgenographic diagnosis could not be made.

Visualizing, Querying and Summarizing Individual Spatio-Temporal Behaviour

Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter describes various efforts to visualize, query, and summarize personal spatiotemporal data. A highly interactive approach that allows the simultaneous manipulation of space and time can offer insight at the exploratory stage of work and altering the spatial and temporal scales of analysis can reveal different processes that may drive or constrain individual behavior. The spatial history explorer (SHE) has been developed specifically to analyze datasets in a highly interactive environment that places equal importance upon both the spatial and temporal location of data. Approaches for interactive spatio-temporal querying, visualizing mobility attributes, and representing the cyclical nature of time are suggested. This approach of linking spatial and temporal representations is then contrasted with a single 3D spatiotemporal representation based upon a time geography approach. Several surface representations that summarize large volumes of point data are also described, in particular for identifying interesting locations associated with destinations, transport links and constraints. The insight gained from these techniques has led to several approaches to improve the way in which mobile individuals access digital information; this work is ongoing and described briefly in the conclusion.
