• Ultrasound & EMG: PMR investigations for evaluation of peripheral nerves
  Date: Tuesday, 6 June
  Time: 08:00 – 09:30
  Room: Barahona 2 (second floor)
  Scientific Session Director: Amit Bhargava, MD,
  Faculty: Channarayapatna Sridhara, MD, Faren Williams, MD, Mario Giraldo, MD, Amit Bhargava, MD,
  Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and Electromyography (EMG) provide information about neurophysiologic status of the anterior horn cell, peripheral nervous system, neuromuscular junction and muscle. While radiology investigations focus on structural problems, NCS/EMG provides functional information about the peripheral nervous system. Various conditions of nerves of upper and lower limb may be discussed with case presentation. Ultrasound evaluation can provide a structural evaluation of the nerves. Various studies evaluating the size of the nerves will be discussed. EMG provides the functional evaluation and ultrasound can provide the structural evaluation of the nerve and structures around it.
• Ultrasound evaluation of Peripheral nerves: Upper Limb – Part I
  Date: Tuesday, 6 June
  Time: 11:00 – 12:30
  Room: Barahona 2 (second floor)
  Workshop Director: Amit Bhargava, MD.
  Faculty: Amit Bhargava, MD, Heakyung Kim, MD, Navita Purohit, MD, Liliana Rodriguez, MD, Mark Hurdle, MD, Kamal Mezian, MD Mario Giraldo, MD Nicolás Muñoz, MD.
  Musculoskeletal sonography is becoming an important part for evaluating and managing joint, nerve and soft tissue disorders. This course is designed to shorten the learning curve for health professionals interested in developing expertise in MSK ultrasound of peripheral nerves. The course will familiarize clinicians with key techniques used to perform examination of peripheral nerves. Clinicians will learn to recognize normal anatomy, and critically evaluate the images. The session will consist of short lectures on peripheral nerves. Each lecture will cover the latest technology and the research associated with it. It will be followed by hands on workshop.
