frequent simulation and irritation of nmda receptors by glutamate mediators can lead to burning pain, allodynia and hyperalgesia, even after stopping the irritant factor. opioid-induced hyperalgesia and peripheral nerve injuries in lower extremities orthopedic surgeries can also make the same symptoms, which sometimes make it difficult to diagnose it from causalgia (type ii complex regional pai...

Nerve wrapping materials have been manufactured to inhibit nerve tissue adhesions and diminish inflammatory and immunologic reactions in nerve surgery. Collagen nerve wrap is a biodegradable type I collagen material that acts as an interface between the nerve and the surrounding tissues. Its main advantage is that it stays in place during the period of tissue healing and is then gradually absor...

Somerset in the Southern Command. cases of complete division of the nerve the ends may lie quite apart, and the proximal end, as is well known, often has quite a marked bulb on it. This bulb is generally adherent by scar tissue to the surrounding structures, as is also the distal end of the nerve. But in some cases of complete division the ends are united by a bridge of scar tissue. This bridge...

Nerve tissue, particularly that comprising the central nervous system (CNS, i.e., brain and spinal cord) is amazingly complex in organization as well as function. Therefore, only a few selected regions will be examined in this lab (they will be investigated in more detail later, in the neuroscience course). In this laboratory session you will also have time to study examples of nerve tissue fro...

Bamboo salt and egg white-chalcanthite mixture has been prescribed for relieving the inflammation of atopic dermatitis in Hamyang, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. This study was conducted to demonstrate effect on cell animal models using a combination bamboo with white-chalcanthite, which have used as folk remedies inflammatory conditions. Based vitro experiment, 1:20 shown inhibit release beta-hexosa...

Several reports have shown that cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions are painless, suggesting that Leishmania infection interferes with pain perception. Comparisons of inflammation-induced hyperalgesia between BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice have been little explored in the literature, and comparative data regarding nociception in leishmaniasis are non-existent. In susceptible BALB/c mice and resistant C57B...

Nerve damage remains a major morbidity following nerve sparing radical prostatectomy, significantly affecting quality of life post-surgery. Nerve-specific fluorescence guided surgery offers a potential solution by enhancing nerve visualization intraoperatively. However, the prostate is highly innervated and only the cavernous nerve structures require preservation to maintain continence and pote...

objective: to evaluate the predictive value of some biochemical markers in the outcome of extremity vascular trauma. methods: this study comprised 30 patients with traumatic arterial injury and acute limb ischemia referred to namazi hospital affiliated with shiraz university of medical ssciences, over a period of 8 months, from sep 2009 to jul 2010. venous blood samples were drawn from distal i...
