چکیده
SURGICAL DISORDERS OF THE PERIPHERAL NERVES By Sir Herbert Seddon. (Pp. 336; illustrated; £12.00.) Churchill Livingstone: Edinburgh. 1975. A second edition in three years is sufficient testimony to the value of this outstanding book which is an essential work of reference for all who have to deal with peripheral nerve injuries. The revision includes more modern methods of electrodiagnosis but omits important data on the use of conduction studies for prognosis and monitoring of recovery, and of electromyography in detecting anomalous innervation, trick movements and aberrant regeneration. Modem immunology is just beginning to influence the use of homografts. Entrapment syndromes receive a wider coverage but important 'medical'

A 61 years old Caucasian female patient with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome presented with a 10 months history of paraesthesiae and numbness affecting the median nerve distribution area...
متن کاملThe role of the desert hedgehog signaling pathway during degeneration and regeneration of peripheral nerves
The desert hedgehog (Dhh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of peripheral nerves (PNs). Dhh-null mice show abnormal neuronal development and perineurial barrier function. As it was previously shown that dhh is mainly expressed in developmental nerves and Sonic hedgehog protein (dhh homologous) has therapeutic effects in neuronal survival, we attempted to investigate the possible ...

متن کامل18F-FDG PET/CT in Neurolymphomatosis: Report of 3 Cases
Neurolymphomatosis is a rare manifestation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by infiltration of peripheral nerves, nerve roots, plexus and cranial nerves by malignant lymphocytes. This report presents positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)imaging with 2-deoxy-2-18F-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) in 3 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with nerve infiltration, including one newly d...
متن کاملPeripheral Neuro Electrodiagnostic Abnormalities in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: A Cross Sectional Study
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is known to affect essentially the central nervous system; however, peripheral nerve involvement, as an additional cause of disability, has been recently noticed. Objectives: This study was aimed to perform detailed electrodiagnostic assessments in MS patients to evaluate peripheral nervous system involvement. Materials and Methods: A total of eighty MS...
