Pathophysiology of peripheral nerve injury: a brief review.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinicians caring for patients with brachial plexus and other nerve injuries must possess a clear understanding of the peripheral nervous system's response to trauma. In this article, the authors briefly review peripheral nerve injury (PNI) types, discuss the common injury classification schemes, and describe the dynamic processes of degeneration and reinnervation that characterize the PNI response.

Peripheral nerve injuries associated with anaesthesia.
Peripheral nerve injuries can occur at any time during the peri-operative period. The long-term disability that results may have serious consequences for a patient. The incidence of peri-operative nerve injuries can be reduced by anaesthetists being aware of their causes and pathophysiology. This review article aims to explain the incidence, pathophysiology and medicolegal implications of peri-...
متن کاملThe Effect of Ultrasound on Acceleration of Peripheral Nerve Injury
Background: Many people suffer from nerve injury. The time consuming nature of the treatments makes the condition worse. Therefore, finding a way to accelerate the process of nerve repair is very important.Objective: To determine the effect of ultrasound on the acceleration of crushed peripheral nerve regeneration.Methods: The experimental model included crushed rat’s sciatic nerve. 40 rats w...
متن کاملCyclooxygense-1 inhibition delays hypersensitivity to nerve injury
Despite the important role of both cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms (i.e. COX-1 and COX-2) in maintenance of hypersensitivity following peripheral nerve injury, their role in the development of neuropathic pain is not clear. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of COX inhibitors to address the potential role of COX isozymes in the development of neuropathic pain in rats after c...
متن کاملMorphological Identification of Cell Death in Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons Following Peripheral Nerve injury and repair in adult rat
Background: Axotomy causes sensory neuronal loss. Reconnection of proximal and distal nerve ends by surgical repair improves neuronal survival. It is important to know the morphology of primary sensory neurons after the surgical repair of their peripheral processes. Methods: Animals (male Wistar rats) were exposed to models of sciatic nerve transection, direct epineurial suture repair of sciati...
متن کاملLocalization of Epidermal-Type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (E-FABP) in Degeneration and Regeneration of Sciatic Nerve after Crush Injury in Mouse
Purpose:The regeneration of axon and myelin sheet after crush injury of peripheral nerves involves interaction of several types of cells, including Schwann cells, monocyte, macrophage and fibroblast. Among them, haematogenous macrophages invading into the peripheral nervous systein play a major role in myelin uptake during Wallerian degeneration. Materials and Methods: In this study 35 C57/BL6 ...
