The effect of electrolyte deficiency on the rate of conduction in a single nerve fibre.
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been shown by Hodgkin (1939) that a change of resistance on the outside of a nerve fibre is followed by a change in conduction velocity. This effect was obtained (i) by altering the volume of saline surrounding the fibre, (ii) by placing a metal shunt in parallel with it. In the present paper, similar changes of conduction velocity are described following the replacement of electrolytes by sucrose. METHOD

Background: The pneumatic tourniquet (PT) is routinely used in upper and lower limb operations by most orthopaedic surgeons. The silicone ring tourniquet (SRT) was introduced in clinical practice the last decade. Clinical as well comparative studies in volunteers concerning its safety and efficacy have been published. The aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative effect of the si...

Objective(s):Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a common complication of diabetes that leads to allodynia, impaired nerve conduction, and progressive sensory loss. The aim of this study was to observe the effect of a high-affinity cannabinoid receptors agonist, WIN 55,212-2, on thermal hyperalgesia, nerve conduction velocity and sciatic nerve histopathology in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Di...

Background: Neuropathy is one of the important complications of diabetes. Deficiency of the nerve conduction velocity (NCV) that occurs in both human diabetic neuropathy and animal diabetes models is one of the indicators for diabetic neuropathy. In the present study, we examined the effect of enalapril, angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitor on NCV, number of endoneurial capillaries and th...

Purpose: There are extensive evidences that show axonal processes of the nervous system (peripheral and/or central) may be degenerated after nerve injuries. Axonal regeneration is relation to various factors. In this investigation we decided to evaluate the effects of nerve regeneration age-dependent on injured rat sciatic nerv. Materials and Methods: For this study, the right sciatic nerve of...
متن کاملEffect of Dexamethasone on Preventing Tibial Nerve Conduction Velocity Loss in Tourniquet Neurepathic Rat
Introduction: Ischaemic-reperfusion nerve injury has been suggested as the mechanism for post-tourniquet limb paralysis. As dexamethasone (Dex) has been shown to Prevent ischaemic-reperfusion process in some tissues, we tested the hypothesis that this drug would reduce tourniquet induced nerve injury. Methods: 36 male Wistar rats (200-250 gr) were chosen and divided randomly into 6 equal grou...
