traumatic injury to peripheral nerves.
This article reviews the epidemiology and classification of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries, the effects of these injuries on nerve and muscle, and how electrodiagnosis is used to help classify the injury. Mechanisms of recovery are also reviewed. Motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, needle electromyography, and other electrophysiological methods are particularly useful for localizin...
متن کاملSever Gastrointestinal Caustic Injury and Surgical Treatment
Approximately 20% of caustic ingestions result in some degree of esophageal injury. Alkaline materials are the most frequent corrosive materials ingested. The physical form and PH of ingested materials play a critical role in the site and type of gastrointestinal injury (PH > 12 or PH < 1.5, crystalline drain cleaners). Unlike Alkaline solutions, strong acids are bitter, burn on contact and...
متن کاملSurgical Treatment of Peripheral Nerve Injury
Peripheral nerves were first distinguished from tendons by Herophilus in 300 BC. By meticulous dissection he traced nerves to the spinal cord, demonstrating the continuity of the nervous system(1). In 900 AD, Rhazes made the first clear reference to nerve repair. However, not until 1795 did Cruikshank demonstrate nerve healing and recovery of distal extremity function after repair. In the early...

متن کامل[Morphology of peripheral nerves, their sheaths, and their vascularization].
This review aims to update our understanding of peripheral nerves, including the nature and function of their sheaths and, finally, their vascularization. The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves whose function is to gather stimuli from the periphery as well as to transport the motor, secretory or vegetative responses that are triggered to the periphery. The connective tissue surround...
