BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to find out a tool to enable improved functional recovery with proximal nerve injury. In this experimental study, nerve regeneration was compared between side-to-side (STS), end-to-side (ETS), and end-to-end repairs. METHODS The walk track analysis was used as an outcome of functional recovery. Nerve regeneration was studied with morphometry and hist...

BACKGROUND Despite recent clinical and technological advancements, the vascular access (VA) for haemodialysis still has significant early failure rates after arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. VA failure is mainly related to the haemodynamic conditions that trigger the phenomena of vascular wall disease such as intimal hyperplasia (IH) or atherosclerosis. METHODS We performed transient com...
