Finkelstein's test was described by Harry Finkelstein (1865–1939), an American surgeon, in 1930. [5]A similar test was previously described by Eichhoff, in which the thumb is placed in the palm of the hand and held with the fingers, and the hand is then ulnar deviated (see images), causing intense pain over the radial styloid which disappears if the thumb is released.
De Quervain syndrome occurs when two tendons that control movement of the thumb become constricted by their tendon sheath in the wrist. [3] [5] [6] This results in pain and tenderness on the thumb side of the wrist. [3] Radial abduction of the thumb is painful. [6] On some occasions, there is uneven movement or triggering of the thumb with ...
Two eponymous diseases are named after Quervain: De Quervain's thyroiditis: Subacute, non-bacterial inflammation of the thyroid gland, often after viral infection of respiratory tract. De Quervain's disease: inflammation of the sheath or tunnel that surrounds two tendons that control movement of the thumb. Sometimes called "washer woman's sprain".
De Quervain's thyroiditis, also known as subacute granulomatous thyroiditis or giant cell thyroiditis, is a self-limiting inflammatory illness of the thyroid gland. [1] De Quervain thyroiditis is characterized by fever , flu-like symptoms , a painful goiter , and neck pain .
De Quervain syndrome a form of tendinosis, named after Fritz de Quervain De Quervain's thyroiditis , named after Fritz de Quervain Topics referred to by the same term
RSIs are assessed using a number of objective clinical measures. These include effort-based tests such as grip and pinch strength, diagnostic tests such as Finkelstein's test for De Quervain's tendinitis, Phalen's contortion, Tinel's percussion for carpal tunnel syndrome, and nerve conduction velocity tests that show nerve compression in the wrist.
Gold Medal is the sixth studio album by American rock band the Donnas, released on 26 October 2004 through Atlantic Records.Leading up to an appearance at the Lollapalooza 2003 festival, drummer Torry Castellano suffered from De Quervain Tendonitis, prompting wrist surgery.
In 2007, de Quervain has shown that a deletion variant of the alpha2b-adrenoceptor is related to enhanced emotional memory in Europeans and Africans. [15] Furthermore, using genome mapping, de Quervain has found that the receptor HRH1 can be targeted with drugs to hamper memory. When HRH1 was targeted with drugs, a single administration of the ...
