Claude had a case of a soldier with right-sided brachial monoplegia, which had lasted for 18 months and defied efforts to cure.
According to Roussy and Lhermitte, crural monoplegia is less frequent than brachial monoplegia.
Re brachial monoplegia, the hysterotraumatic form first observed by Charcot has an anesthesia with the shoulder of mutton distribution, slightly affecting the thorax in front and behind, in addition to the paralysis.
When selecting thebrachial and femoral arteries always raise them at a place below the point where collateral circulation is given off or in other words raise them in the middle third.
The deepbrachial veins or the vena comites, two in number, which follow the brachial artery, run into the basilic vein.
It is accompanied by the venae comites or deep brachial veins, the one to the inner side of the artery about one-third to one-half the size of the artery, the other about one-half its size lies directly underneath.
The natural position will be, the artery on top, the larger deep brachial vein to the inner side and the smaller one underneath.
The value of this artery is in the embalming of ladies, where the body has been dressed and the sleeve cannot be removed to use the brachial artery without material inconvenience and annoyance.
The vein is quite superficial, just below it and to the upper part of the incision is the brachial plexus of nerves, which surrounds the artery.
It is very necessary to remove these deep brachial veins, for the reason that if they are not, in cutting the artery for injection, they will be cut also, resulting in a flow of venous blood into the incision.
After leaving the axillary space, the artery passes down the arm and is known as the brachial artery.
Coming off thebrachial are the deep brachial arteries and the anastomotica magna arteries which anastomose and give collateral circulation to the forearm, by means of the recurrent radial and ulnar arteries.
The course of the brachialartery may be marked out by drawing a line from the middle of the axillary space (arm pit) to the center of the elbow, provided the palm of the hand be turned upward.
The brachial Malacopterygii include most of the Flat Fish; as the Turbot, Plaice, Sole, &c.
However, as even this has proved ineffectual, and the interosseous has proved sufficient to continue the bleeding, ligature of the brachial at once is preferable to ligature of so many branches in the fore-arm.
The pulsation of the vessel between the forefinger and the first rib will prove a great assistance; yet care is required, lest one of the branches of the brachial plexus be secured instead of the artery.
In those cases (once much more frequent than at present) where an aneurism has formed after a wound of the brachial at the bend of the arm in venesection, the aneurism may be either circumscribed or diffuse.
If circumscribed, it is advised by some surgeons, specially by the late Professor Colles of Dublin, that the brachial should be tied immediately above the tumour.
Two brachial veins accompany and wind round the vessel, occasionally interlacing.
The lowest cord of the brachial plexus lies immediately behind the artery, between it and the middle scalenus.
If the right arm has to be amputated, the operator standing at the inner side raises the anterior muscles with his left hand, and enters the knife just in front of the brachial vessels (Plate I.
IN THE UPPER ARM, the Brachial Artery lies on inner side of arm, in a line with seam on coat sleeve—from inner fold of armpit to middle of bend of elbow.
Compress Brachial artery in the upper arm by a tourniquet, or place a pad in hollow of elbow and bend fore-arm against arm.
In this development of brachial extensions of the theca the genital organs were involved, and their ripe products formed at the ends of the brachia or in the branches therefrom.
RR separated by a heptagonal anal; firstbrachial usually quadrangular.
RR separated by a hexagonal anal; first brachialusually hexagonal.
RR in contact all round; first brachial usually quadrangular.
The fibro-osseous ring thus formed gives passage to the brachial artery and the median nerve, or in case of a premature division of this artery to the ulnar branch of the same.
The brachial artery and median nerve pass through the foramen.
The Right Axillary and Brachial Arteries, with Some of their Main Branches.
Dotted Line showing the Course of the Brachial Artery.
Showing how Digital Compression should be applied to the Brachial Artery.
In this case, without doubt, the subject originally suffered a sub-periosteal fracture of the bone and because the animal was a good self nurse, the brachial fascia supported the radius until the periosteum gave way and the leg dangled.
Therefore, in many instances, lameness is more pronounced in contusions of the anterior brachial region than where tissues have been divided more or less keenly.
The adjacent brachial nerve plexus is so very apt to become involved, if not actually injured at the time fracture occurs, that paralysis is a probable complication.
Where a contusion of the anterior brachial structures occurs, there is, in addition to lameness, swelling which is painful because of the pressure occasioned by the heavy non-yielding brachial fascia.
Thrombosis of the brachial artery or of its principal branches is of very rare occurrence in horses.
The heavy brachial fascia materially contributes to the support of the radius, and in cases where swelling is marked, crepitation may not be readily detected.
The radial nerve is a large branch of the brachial plexus and is chiefly derived from the first thoracic root of the plexus and is here situated posterior to the deep brachial artery.
A case has been reported in which there was a total lesion of the brachial plexus, including the muscles of the shoulder girdle.
In the course of the exudation and the contraction of the inflammatory exudate the brachial plexus is interfered with.
The direct reason for the late development of the disease is probably the ossification of the cervical rib and the pressure of this hard, bony substance upon the roots of the brachial plexus.
The arm, on examination, was found to be uninjured, but a ball had passed from right to left through his neck, and from its direction had no doubt struck some portion of the lower cervical or brachial plexus of nerves.
It will here perhaps be objected, that all these means would be to no purpose, if the brachial or crural arteries are wounded at a certain height, because, in such a case, the limb must waste away for want of nourishment.
The brachial ossicles represent the reduced and modified radiale and basalia of cartilaginous fish such as the dogfish.
Each of these consists of four small irregular bones, the =brachial ossicles= (fig.
Trousseau's sign is the production of tetany by applying firm and prolonged pressure to the brachial nerve in the upper arm.
In this space are three vertical structures--externally the tendon of the biceps, just internal to this the brachial artery, and still more internally the median nerve.
On each side of the biceps is the external and internal bicipital furrow, in the latter of which the brachial artery may be felt and compressed.
This can be demonstrated by the use of a cuff around the brachial artery and by varying the pressure.
The inner border of the biceps muscle is taken as a guide to the place of the brachial artery for the whole extent of its course in the arm.
The operation for tying thebrachial artery near the axilla.
At the bend of the elbow, the brachial artery usually occupies the middle point between e, the inner condyle of the humerus and the external margin of the supinator radii longus muscle, G.
The lower one of these embraces the vessel, A, and those nerves of the brachial plexus, I, which are in contact with it.
Or the brachial artery may take this latter position, while the median nerve stands alone at the position of D, Plate 16.
The axillary portion of the brachial artery cannot require to be tied for true aneurism.
A vessel removed from the inner side of the tendon of the biceps,—that is to say, not over or near the brachial artery,—is to be preferred.
Puncture of thebrachial artery, at the bend of the arm, is not uniformly followed by extravasation of blood, or by the formation of aneurism.
Spontaneous aneurism is of rare occurrence, lower in the brachial artery than its axillary portion.
Having advanced thus far, the cervical aponeurosis was detached from the clavicle by cautious strokes of the handle of the scalpel, which laid bare the brachial plexus of nerves and the omo-hyoid muscle.
Cut through this latter muscle at its anterior end, and fold it backwards to expose the underlying brachial vein.
The brachial vein going to the arm, near which may often be seen the white brachial nerve.
The subclavian vein, made up of a brachial vein from the arm, a cutaneous vein from the skin, and a muscular vein from the abdominal muscles.
The second and third nerves unite immediately after escaping from the spinal cord to form the brachial plexus, which supplies the muscles of the shoulder, and then extends along the arm.
Endeavour to trace the point of origin of the brachial, muscular, and cutaneous veins (or the brachial and musculo-cutaneous veins in the Frog) as shown in the figures.
The subclavian vein, formed by the brachial vein from the fore-limb and a musculo-cutaneous vein from the muscles of the body and from the skin.
In the example we are considering, the brachial muscle is attached about half an inch beyond the fulcrum at the elbow, while the total length of the lever, measured from the elbow to the palm, is 12 inches.
The power which we are to yoke to the lever is a strong muscular engine we have not mentioned before, called the brachialis anticus, or front brachial muscle.
We have just seen that the brachial muscle could at one time move the forearm and hand, but that when they are fixed it could then use the humerus as a lever and thereby lift the weight of the body.
The forearm is no longer the lever which the brachial muscle moves (Fig.
We also notice that the brachial muscle is attached a long way up the humerus, thus increasing its power very greatly, although the rate at which it helps in lifting the body is diminished.
Sketches of the sciatic nerve, brachial plexus, and of sections through the brain and spinal cord should be made.
From the brachial plexus trace out the nerves which pass to different parts of the fore leg.
These connect with each other, forming a network called the brachial plexus.
The pus thus obtained was quite pure and sweet, and having been warmed, was injected, by means of a syringe, into the left brachial vein of the ass.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "brachial" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
