Is neuralgic amyotrophy the most common neurologic disorder of the shoulder : a 78-month prospective study of 60 neurologic shoulder patients in a specialist shoulder clinic?
These results suggest that NA is overdiagnosed and does not warrant the increased attention suggested by recent articles. The current study also highlights a necessity to perform EMG investigations in all cases of suspected NA because the accuracy of the clinical assessment is poor.
The greater extent of hydrogen bonding and neighbor atom density in the unreactive nucleotide pairs is consistent with reduced flexibility at a majority of the unreactive sites. The reactive photocrosslinking sites are clustered in the 30S subunit and this indicates nonuniform patterns of hydrogen bonding and packing density in the 16S rRNA tertiary structure. Because this analysis addresses inter-nucleotide distances and geometry between nucleotides distant in the primary sequence, the results indicate regional and global flexibility of the rRNA.
