The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile.

El miembro superior cuenta con tres nervios principales: mediano, cubital y radial. La exposición de la extremidad superior a factores de riesgo laboral puede ocasionar lesiones en estos nervios y dar lugar a neuropatías por atrapamiento. A nivel mundial, el síndrome del túnel del carpo (stc), una neuropatía por atrapamiento del nervio mediano en la muñeca, es considerado como la enfermedad laboral más significativa. El síndrome del túnel cubital (stcu) y el síndrome del túnel radial (str), de menor incidencia y prevalencia en el ámbito laboral, representan neuropatías por atrapamiento de los nervios cubital y radial, respectivamente. Los autores llevan a cabo una revisión de los factores que provocan las neuropatías en el miembro superior y proponen estrategias de prevención en los ambientes laborales, con el fin de facilitar un manejo integral, desde el diagnóstico hasta la rehabilitación.
