    Abstract Detecting a non-zero electric dipole moment in a particle would unambiguously signify physics beyond the Standard Model. A potential pathway towards this is the detection of a nuclear Schiff moment, the magnitude of which is enhanced by the presence of nuclear octupole deformation. However, due to the low production rate of isotopes featuring such 'pear-shaped' nuclei, capturing, detecting and manipulating them efficiently is a crucial prerequisite. Incorporating them into synthetic diamond optical crystals can produce defects with defined, molecule-like structures and isolated electronic states within the diamond band gap, increasing capture efficiency, enabling repeated probing of even a single atom and producing narrow optical linewidths. In this study, we used density functional theory to investigate the formation, structure and electronic properties of crystal defects in diamond containing [Formula: see text], a rare isotope that is predicted to have an exceptionally strong nuclear octupole deformation. In addition, we identified and studied stable lanthanide-containing defects with similar electronic structures as non-radioactive proxies to aid in experimental methods. Our findings hold promise for the existence of such defects and can contribute to the development of a quantum information processing-inspired toolbox of techniques for studying rare isotopes. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Diamond for quantum applications'.

    Abstract Background: It has been suggested that many patients with carpal tunnel syndrome have associated thyroid or other metabolic diseases.
    Methods: 206 patients with clinical features suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), including those with known underlying cause of CTS, were screened for thyroid dysfunction. Nerve conduction studies were compatible with a diagnosis of CTS in 136 patients (CTS group).
    Results: We diagnosed only 2 new cases of hypothyroidism (1.5% of patients in the CTS group) and none with hyperthyroidism.
    Conclusions: Thus routine screening of patients with isolated CTS for thyroid function abnormality does not appear to be worthwhile.

    Abstract The authors have studied 148 consecutive patients with 170 electrophysiologically confirmed ulnar nerve lesions, who were followed up for one to six years (median 3.8 years) to determine clinical progress and outcome. Injury and intra-operative pressure accounted for 12.9% and 7.1% of lesions respectively; 58.2% were idiopathic with no identified clinical aetiological factor. Eighty-three percent received non-operative treatment initially; 21% of these required operative intervention following further clinical/electrophysiological assessment. Partial or complete recovery occurred in 92% of intra-operative, 64% of idiopathic and 50% of injury cases respectively. Ulnar nerve lesions predominate in males and can be treated non-operatively providing clinical and electrophysiological monitoring is possible. Bilaterality is common and should be excluded. Lesions due to injury have a worse prognosis than those caused by direct continuous or repeated pressure, inflammation or where no aetiological factor exists.
