Peripheral nerve injury induces inflammation and oxidative stress, which are the most significant causes of the neuronal death. Alpha Lipoic acid (ɑ-LA) as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent may counteract the oxidative stress and inflammatory response. This study was designed to investigate the protective effect of ɑ-LA on neuronal cell death in L4 dorsal root ganglion (L4-DRG) i...

Ocular chemical injuries accounts for 11.5% to 22.1% of ocular injuries. burns are an ophthalmic emergency and requires immediate treatment. We report a series three cases injury secondary accidental exposure red balm used as local application headache. In our menthol, cajuput oil capsaicin might have contributed nerve damage. Nerve damage lead delayed epithelial healing. All patients improved ...

Background: Two main muscles studied in the hand for evaluation of median nerve injuries are opponens pollicis (OP) and abductor pollicis brevis (APB). However, Riché-Cannieu communicating branch (RCCB) may limit the use of these muscles in electrodiagnosis. This condition is confusing in the case of median nerve injuries. This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of RCCB. &...

Sciatic functional index (SFI) as a behavioral method was used to assess the functional recovery following experimentally-induced various injuries in the sciatic nerve, spinal cord, and brain. In the present study, the functional recovery after induction of injury in the sciatic nerve was investigated in rats using SFI. Twenty-four rats were divided into three groups including sham-operated (SS...

A common cause of peripheral nerve injury is trauma. The positive effect of antioxidants on the improvement of nerve regeneration has currently become a focus of attention. In this experiment, the effect of intraperitoneal administration of ubiquinone (CoQ10) on an acute experimentally sciatic nerve crush was studied in a rat model. Forty-five male Wistar rats, weighing between 160-180 g were u...

background: peripheral nerves may be damaged during an injury and its current standard treatment is using an autologous nerve. objectives: the purpose of this experimental study is to evaluate and compare the histological results of nerve regeneration after using the eggshell membrane (esm) guidance channel with autograft. materials and methods: thirty adult male rats were divided into three ex...

Muscles innervated by the facial nerve show differential sensitivities to muscle relaxants than muscles innervated by somatic nerves. The evoked electromyography (EEMG) response is also proportionally reduced after facial nerve injury. This forms the theoretical basis for proper utilization of muscle relaxants to balance EEMG monitoring and immobility under general anesthesia. (1) To observe th...

BACKGROUND Motor peripheral nerve injury is a rare but serious event after colorectal surgery, and a nationwide study of this complication is lacking. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to report the incidence, trends, and risk factors of motor peripheral nerve injury during colorectal surgery. DESIGN The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was surveyed for motor per...

AIM The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the benefits of ultrasonographic imaging in the surgical treatment of upper extremity peripheral nerve lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Peripheral nerves in the upper extremity were evaluated by using real-time ultrasonographic examination. The capability of ultrasonography in terms of determination the type of injury, the position of the proxim...

Aim: The purpose of this study is to measure the sciatic Nerve injuries in Total Hip Replacement after old trauma femur fracture more than 3 months. Materials and Methods. design was retrospective conducted at DHQ Teaching Hospital Gujranwala. Data collected 50 patients who underwent following NECK fracture. All Patients through surgery. Sciatic nerve traction were noted. SPSS – 16 used for sta...
