As explained by Wolff’s law and the mechanostat hypothesis, mechanical stimulation can be used to promote bone formation. Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a source of mechanical stimulation that can activate the integrin/phosphatidylinositol 3-OH kinase/Akt pathway and upregulate osteogenic...
The superficial temporal artery branches into the terminal frontal branch near the level of the tragus [20,32]. The frontal branch travels anteriorly to supply the lateral frontal region. The transducer is placed over the lateral part of the forehead, slightly cranial to the eyebrows. The fronta...
Moving the transducer more distally, the palmar ulnar cutaneous nerve can be seen as a single hypoechoic fascicle departing from the radial side of the main trunk near the bifurcating point for the dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve (Figure 18A). It is crucial to apply light touch without compressing...
