The investigation revealed anatomical variations including supernumerary heads (20%) and 'fusion' of the muscle proximal to tendon formation and a spiralling arrangement of the tendon in its approach to the radial tuberosity. The data from the present study was reviewed in the context of previous studies on the anatomy of this muscle and speculation on the evolutionary basis of the variations and their clinical implications are discussed.
15.2% of patient presentations over the study week were alcohol-related. These patients were more likely to present with injury; one in five having injuries suspected to be caused by a third party affected by alcohol. This is a significant public health problem.
The top 5 emergency medicine research priorities nominated by patients in ED were cardiology, trauma, ED processes, mental health and haematology/oncology, although many 'system priorities' were identified as well. These priorities were generally consistent with ACEM researchers, but patients also suggested alternative directions for future research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
