three cases who underwent surgery in different areas of the craniofacial region were reported with bradycardia developing intraoperatively during flap traction. many cases of the oculocardiac reflex during treatment of the orbital region have been reported in the literature. this manuscript recorded that reflex bradycardia can occur during traction or stretching of any structure innervated by t...

background: h-reflex is a valuable electrophysiological technique for assessing nerve conduction through entire length of afferent and efferent pathways, especially nerve roots and proximal segments of peripheral nerves. the aim of this study was to investigate the relation between normal values of flexor carpi radialis (fcr) h-reflex latency, upper limb length and age in normal subjects, and t...

Background: Neck roots lesion is one of the reasons for cervical and arm pain. A detailed patient evaluation could improve diagnose, reduce imaging requests, and speedy treatment of cervical pain. We tried to estimate the utility of pronator teres reflex in C6 and C7 roots irritation. Methods: Present study is composed of 118 participants including 56 with C6 and C7 lesion and 62 normal contro...

Introduction: Radiopacity is a necessary property for luting cements . The aim of this study was to investigate the radiopacity of some luting dental cements used in prosthetic dentistry. Methods: Five disclike samples of each material (6 x 1 mm) were prepared from panavia F2.0(Pa), Chioce2 (Ch.2), Glass ionomer GC (GI GC), zinc phosphate Hoffmann’s (ZP hof), zinc polycarboxylate Hoffm...

Our perception of reality continuously develops, adapts, and structures itself throughout our lifetime. However, the fundamental cognitive capacities form during fetal development, infancy, and early childhood. While genetics lays out the general structure of the brain – constraining the flow of information and thus basic neural structures to certain locations in the brain – development and lea...

Lower extremity spasticity is a common sequela among patients with acquired brain injury. The optimum treatment remains controversial. The aim of our study was to test the feasibility and effectiveness of contralateral nerve root transfer in reducing post stroke spasticity of the affected hindlimb muscles in rats. In our study, we for the first time created a novel animal hindlimb spastic hemip...

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of lumbar mobilization techniques and neural mobilization technique on sciatic pain, functional disabilities, centralization of symptoms in patients, latency of Hoffmann reflex, and of degree of nerve root compromise in chronic low back dysfunction (LBD). Pre-test post-test group design has been used. Sixty patients with chronic (LBD) from both ...

the purpose of the this study was to investigate the effect of direct current on montoneuron reflex exitability. thirty six subjects (18 males, 18 females) 19.36 years of age ( x= 24.06, sd= 3.63) participated in this study. the reflex excitability of soleus motoneruons was assessed by measuring the amount of change in the peak to peak ampitude of the h-reflex before and after direct current wa...
