Infants, in particular, may suffer brachial plexus injuries during delivery and these present with typical patterns of weakness, depending on which portion of the brachial plexus is involved. The most severe form of injury is nerve root avulsion, which usually accompanies high-velocity impacts that commonly occur during motor-vehicle collisions or bicycle accidents. Based on the location of the nerve damage, brachial plexus
Peripheral artery disease the severity of disease seen on angiogram. It is not clear if screening for disease in the general population is useful as it has not been properly studied. This includes screening with the ankle-brachial index. Testing for coronary artery disease or carotid artery disease is of unclear benefit. While PAD is a risk factor for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), there is no data on screening individuals with asymptomatic PAD for abdominal aortic aneurysms. In people with symptomatic PAD screening by ultrasound for AAA is not unreasonable. Depending on the severity of the disease, these steps can be taken, according to
