"Carpal tunnel syndrome:" A bibliometric study of 35 years of research.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a disease caused by compression of the median nerve passing through the wrist. Patients suffer from severe pain and paresthesis in the median nerve. Compression of the median nerve occurs, with prolonged working on keyboards (computer or laptop or music players) being one of the reasons along with others such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. CTS research holds great promise for the patients as well as doctors for better medical treatment. The study has been carried out with an objective to analyze research progress based on the literature published on CTS during the last 35 years. The retrospective study has been carried out from the data indexed in SCOPUS multidisciplinary database from 1983I grew up in small-town, liberal Vermont, a nerdy kid who drew all the time. I did well in school,
read a lot, and was fascinated by martial arts. I did illustrations and comics for
my high school newspaper, co-edited and illustrated the literary magazine, and painted a mural on
the wall of one of the school hallways. I toyed briefly with being an engineer, but then decided
to do the sensible thing and went to art school. I graduated from Parsons School of Design, lucked into
a job making computer games, and managed to draw a couple of graphic novels in my spare time.
These days I live in Washington DC and I still draw all the time.
