ABSTRACT
Analysis of the measurement of the humeral shaft fracture in roentgenograms of 19 adults with radial nerve injuries and 27 adults without radial nerve injuries, included types, sites of fractures and the position of the tips of the upper and lower fragments as well as the analysis of the measurement of the humeral length and the pathway of the radial nerve that lies on the shaft of the humerus. After comparing and studying the correlation coefficient of each other in every category, it was found that there was no correlation between the type, sites of the tip of the proximal and distal fragment of fractures and the pathway of the radial nerve, but there is one statistically significant difference at the site of the fracture between the humeral shaft fracture with and without radial nerve injury. The average measurement of the humeral shaft fracture with radial nerve injury is 15.03 centimeters from the tip of the greater tuberosity to the tip of the proximal fragment and 9.17 centimeters from the lateral epicondyle to the tip of the distal fragment. The average length of these fractures is 4.51 centimeters.
ABSTRACT
Examination of 330 patients with pyuria, aged 18 months to 84 years, who attended the Outpatient Department of Siriraj Hospital during the period 1984 to 1988, disclosed proteinuria, and blood leukocytosis with neutrophilia in 70, 55 and 20 percent, respectively. Haemoglobin concentration and haematocrit value were decreased in 59 and 50 percent of the patients. Urine specimens containing over 30 white blood cells / high dry field yielded positive protein test. Nevertheless, there were no correlation between the number of white blood cells in urine and amount of urine protein, white blood cells and neutrophil in blood (correlation coefficient 0.37, 0.17 and 0.21, respectively); neither were correlation between the number of white blood cells in urine, haemoglobin and haematocrit (correlation coefficient – 0.14 and – 0.17, respectively).
