<p>Fractures in the distal third of humerus shaft usually are associated with complete or incomplete radial nerve lesions which may be caused due to traction, entrapment compression between bony fragments. We managed these patients by bridge plating using minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis. A total 5 were operated on and all showed full functional recovery nerve. Fractur...

The crayfish ventral superficial flexor (VSF) is innervated by the ventral branch of the third nerve. This nerve and muscle system is tonic, and is responsible for posture control of the animal. The easy accessibility of the third nerve and its muscle fibers, along with its display of tonic activity in vitro, make this preparation ideal for observing axonal action potentials and synaptic respon...

In this case report we present a diabetic patient with isolated, pupil-sparing, incomplete inferior division third cranial nerve palsy. Laboratory tests for the evaluation of thyroid function, infection, myasthenia gravis and autoimmune diseases were normal. Cranial computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography also showed normal findings. Accordingly, diabe...
