Orbital floor fractures can produce acute constitutional symptoms and poor ocular outcomes. This study aims to determine the clinical and radiological predictors of tissue entrapment in pediatric orbital floor fractures and to explore the effect of operative timing on ocular outcomes. The authors reviewed medical records from pediatric patients with orbital floor fractures from 2007 to 2015. On...

Compression neuropathy includes a heterogeneous group of focal neuropathy syndromes related to peripheral nerve compression. Although acute or chronic compression-related injury may occur in essentially any peripheral nerve, certain anatomic considerations may predispose certain nerves to intrinsic or extrinsic compression-related injury. The clinical presentations of specific compression or en...

BACKGROUND To compare the microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in neurons and innervated muscles after sciatic nerve entrapment using a non-constrictive silastic tube, subsequent surgical decompression, and denervation injury. METHODS The experimental L4-L6 spinal segments, dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), and soleus muscles from each experimental group (sham control, denervation, entrapment, and ...

central venous catheterization (cvc) is a commonly performed procedure for venous access. it is associated with several complications. we report a rare case of extra luminal entrapment of guide wire during cvc placement in right jugular vein. we report a case of 28 years old female patient presented in our emergency with history of entrapped guide wire in right side of neck during cvc. x-ray sh...

in this study, lactic acid production by repeated batch fermentation using cell entrapped methods was compared. barium alginate beads, agar gel and polyurethane foam cubes were employed as carriers to immobilize lactobacillus casei subsp. casei for the purpose of l (+)-lactic acid production. increasing concentrations of lactic acid during fermentation were better tolerated by barium alginate e...

Wood deposited in streams provides a wide variety of ecosystem functions, including enhancing habitat for key species in stream food webs, increasing geomorphic and hydraulic heterogeneity and retaining organic matter. Given the strong role that wood plays in streams, factors that influence wood inputs, retention and transport are critical to stream ecology. Wood entrapment, the process of wood...

'Flash-forwards' - mental images of suicide - have been reported in selected Caucasian samples. Perceptions of defeat and entrapment are considered to be associated with suicidal ideation. We aimed to investigate (1) the presence of suicidal flash-forwards in people with recent suicidal ideation versus those without such ideation in an Asian sample, and (2) associations between suicidal flash-f...

OBJECT To improve diagnostic accuracy and achieve high levels of treatment success in patients with pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) syndromes, the author of this study applied advanced technology diagnostics in distinguishing the various syndrome types according to the different entrapment locations and evaluated new minimal access surgical techniques to treat each subtype. METHODS Two hundre...

The article of Peng and Tumber (1) nicely reviewed current knowledge about ultrasound-guided interventional procedures for patients with piriformis syndrome, border nerve syndrome, and pudendal neuralgia. In the case of pudendal neuralgia, they stated that pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome might be caused either by the pudendal nerve entrapment between the sacrotuberous and the sacrospinous li...
