  2. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

    Conduction velocity is derived by measuring the limb length, D, in millimeters from the stimulation site to the corresponding spinal segment (C7 spinous process to wrist crease for median nerve). This is multiplied by two as it goes to the cord and returns to the muscle (2D). 2D is divided by the latency difference between mean F and M and 1 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-combatant_Casualty_Value

    2009 Joint Chiefs of Staff memo CJCSI 3160-01, which described the NCV. Non-combatant casualty value (NCV), also known as the non-combatant and civilian casualty cut-off value (NCV or NCCV), is a military rule of engagement which provides an estimate of the worth placed on the lives of non-combatants, i.e. civilians or non-military individuals within a conflict zone.

  4. Nerve conduction velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_velocity

    Motor nerve conduction velocity studies revealed that conductance in diabetic rats was about 30% lower than that of the non-diabetic control group. In addition, activity along the Schmidt-Lanterman incisures was non-continuous and non-linear in the diabetic group, but linear and continuous in the control.

    NCV may refer to: Net calorific value, a synonym for "lower heating value" Nerve conduction velocity, a measurement performed in neurophysiological tests; New Century Version, an English translation of the Christian Bible; Chinese New Version, formerly known as New Chinese Version, a Chinese translation of the Christian Bible

  6. Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh - Wikipedia

    The lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (also called the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) is a cutaneous nerve of the thigh.It originates from the dorsal divisions of the second and third lumbar nerves from the lumbar plexus.

  7. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_inflammatory_de...

    Problems with gripping objects, tying shoe laces, and using utensils can all be brought on by upper limb involvement. Proximal limb weakness is a fundamental clinical characteristic that sets apart chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy from the vast majority of distal polyneuropathies, which are far more common.

  8. Electromyoneurography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyoneurography

    Electromyoneurography (EMNG) is the combined use of electromyography and electroneurography [1] This technique allows for the measurement of a peripheral nerve's conduction velocity upon stimulation (electroneurography) alongside electrical recording of muscular activity (electromyography).

  9. Nerve decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_decompression

    A nerve decompression is a neurosurgical procedure to relieve chronic, direct pressure on a nerve to treat nerve entrapment, a pain syndrome characterized by severe chronic pain and muscle weakness.
