Peripheral nerve magnetic stimulation: influence of tissue non-homogeneity
BACKGROUND Peripheral nerves are situated in a highly non-homogeneous environment, including muscles, bones, blood vessels, etc. Time-varying magnetic field stimulation of the median and ulnar nerves in the carpal region is studied, with special consideration of the influence of non-homogeneities. METHODS A detailed three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) of the anatomy of the wrist regi...
متن کاملINFLUENCE OF NERVE TISSUE-DERIVED NEUROTRANSMITTERS ON MAST CELL MIGRATION
In vitro culture systems using bone marrow cells from BALB/C mice were set up in medium supplemented with spleen-derived medium. Bone marrow cells grown in spleen-derived medium gave rise to cultures containing >97% mast cells. The cells were used in polarisation chemotaxis assays with the intention of determining the effect of nerve tissue-derived neurotransmitters on mast cell migration. ...
متن کاملDefinition of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
that is rapidly gaining popularity for a variety of clinical conditions. Despite its straightforward nature, the modality has been for a long time treated as a ‘stepchild’ of the neuromodulation field, yielding the spotlight to the more ubiquitous spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and the more elegant deep brain stimulation (DBS) approaches. Interestingly enough, the main theoretical explanation of...
متن کاملTissue-engineered Peripheral Nerve
Nerve injuries occur by a variety of mechanisms, including traumatic wounds, thermal or chemical damage, myelin or axonal degeneration, and acute compression. These injuries typically result in the loss of motor function, sensory function, or both. Functional recovery is regained upon complete axonal regeneration, which includes remyelination and reinnervation (i.e., synapse formation) of the a...
متن کاملMagnetic Nerve Stimulation
Magnetic nerve stimulation is a noninvasive, noncontact means of exciting nerves. Magnetic stimulators generate eddy currents in tissue by producing a high-amplitude, short-duration magnetic pulse from a small coil located near the tissue. A simple circuit can generate the large coil currents necessary for magnetic nerve stimulation. Careful selection of circuit components is necessary to contr...
