Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a common source of pain and disability in patients. While many patients are affected by PNI, peripheral surgery advancements the lower extremity have lagged behind upper extremity. Subsequently, principles that demonstrated success been implemented Interventions with recent advances include advent novel transfers using stem cells electrical stimulation (ES) for ...

Background: Bidirectional relationships between the immune system, nervous system, and psychological processes likely exist in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) because stress can affect IBD, and IBD is associated with an increased risk of psychological difficulty. The field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) sheds light on specific mechanisms that are involved in these relationships, and this resea...

This paper describes two patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the periocular and periorbital skin who presented with trigeminal neuralgia. Both patients had previous cutaneous SCC of the scalp treated successfully with surgical resection but later presented with neuro-ophthalmic findings suggesting perineural invasion (PNI) of SCC. PNI of SCC in the periocular skin or orbit can lead t...

383 August 2014 P OSTOPERATIVE nerve injuries (PNIs) have anesthetic, patient, and surgical contributions and determining the etiology may be challenging when peripheral nerve blockade is used. Evaluating PNI relies on clinical assessment, electrodiagnostic testing, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI of peripheral nerves can diagnose external compression or loss of nerve continuity and i...

Aim: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a simple and useful score for predicting the prognosis in various diseases such as cancers, ischemic heart disease, pulmonary embolism.The aim of our study to investigate association between PNI level mortality rates patients with or hemorrhagic AS admitted intensive care unit (ICU). 
 Material Methods: We retrospectively analyzed records 102 ...

Background: To evaluate the prognostic value of pretreatment nutritional index (PNI), lactated dehydrogenase (LDH) and their combination (PNI-LDH) in patients with locally advanced NPC receiving induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).

BACKGROUND Invasion of breast cancer cells into blood and lymphatic vessels is one of the most important steps for metastasis. In this study the prognostic relevance of lymphangiogenesis and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in breast cancer patients was evaluated in terms of survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study concerned 518 breast cancer patients who were treated at Departme...

Sleep disturbance has been found to trigger a stress response with a subsequent activation of the psychoneuroimmunological (PNI) pathway associated with adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to assess the association among selected PNI biomarkers, sleep disturbances, and adverse health outcomes (depressive symptoms, physical symptoms). A stratified, quota sample (14 poor sleepers and 15 goo...

Structural and functional properties of alpha-protease nexin I (alpha-PNI) expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells were studied. All three cysteines were in the reduced form, showing that the potential disulfide bridge between residues Cys117 and Cys131 was not formed. Heparin association rate enhancements were from ka = 8.3 x 10(5) to 0.7-1.6 x 10(9) M-1 s-1 for the interaction of PNI with th...
