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 th...

Introduction: Injury to cranial nerves IX, X, and XII is a known complication of laryngoscopy and intubation. Here we present a patient with concurrent hypoglossal and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after rhinoplasty. Case Report: The patient was a 27-year-old woman who was candidate for rhinoplastic surgery. The next morning after the operation, the patient complained of dysphonia and a s...

Numbness within the thumb involving palmar aspect with three and a half digits as division is common presentation of peripheral nerve injury. However, it rarely observed to be presented numbness at ulnar-palmar side thumb, where longitudinal melanonychia on nail plate acts division. We present case that reveals concurrence suffered from injury during course occupational therapy.

conclusions accordingly, laser therapy in our protocol seemed to affect some of the nerve growth parameters, mostly on motor rather than sensory fibers. results in the two -point discrimination- test, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the thumbs but a significant improvement was observed in the index finger of the lt group. improvement of muscular examinations such a...

Despite the fact that a number of therapeutic modalities have shown promise in treatment spinal cord injury (SCI), focusing solely on one aspect recovery will not lead to successful and useful regeneration people. The current study targets an integrated approach neuroprotection rehabilitation strategies treat injury, increasing nerve functional through sensorimotor training cell transplantation...

BACKGROUND In regional anaesthesia, there is a risk of direct nerve injury. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the diameter of the applied needle is associated with the magnitude of nerve injury after needle nerve perforation. METHODS In five anaesthetized pigs, the brachial plexus were exposed bilaterally. Up to eight nerves underwent needle nerve perforation using a 24 G pen...

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...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine the procedure-specific incidence, risk factors, and injury patterns in patients with iatrogenic facial nerve injury as seen at a tertiary care facial nerve center. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Facial Nerve Center patient records from 2002 to 2012 were reviewed for cases of iatrogenic facial nerve injury. These were analyzed by type of i...
