background: initial studies have shown that low-energy ultrasound stimulates living tissue cells to reduce regeneration or speed up their recovery. the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various ultrasound parameters on the speed of recovery in injured sciatic nerves. methods: nmri mice (n = 200) with injured left paw, caused by crushing their sciatic nerves, were randomly sele...

spinal cord injury (sci) results in the damage of motor and sensory pathways. the molecular and cellular structure of the injury milieu has been shown to be vital for endogenous regeneration in most tissues. regeneration of injured central nervous system (cns) is limited by damaged cell environment. biomaterial scaffolds can reconstruct injured cns tissue following sci by promoting the migratio...

introduction: lasers, light emitting diodes (leds) and super luminous diodes (slds) are widely used to treat selected musculoskeletal, integumentary and neurological conditions. the mechanisms underlying the reported treatment effects of light therapy are unclear and the physiologic effect of light on a variety of tissues, particularly neurological, is mostly unknown. a few researchers have rep...

conclusions open gastrostomy was successfully performed under subcostal tap block with small dose fentanyl supplementation. the subcostal tap block is considered a useful anesthetic choice in surgery for high risk patients. introduction many papers have reported that tap block provides effective postoperative analgesia, but the sole use of tap block for surgical anesthesia has been rarely repor...

the spontaneous regression of neuroblastoma to ganlioneuroma is a rare occurrence. reviewing the literature, we found no more than 12casesreported.'•2.9.,o.'4.1s we report a case of metastatic neuroblastoma of multifocal skeletal and soft tissue areas with gross deformities which regressed to ganglioneuroma, with good prognosis.

abstract the supracondylar process is a beak-like bony projection that arises from the anteromedial surface of the humerus. the process has rarely been associated with compression of the median nerve and seldom requires treatment. we report a case of a supracondylar process that caused tenting of the median nerve with elbow extension and pronation.

Purpose
 The F- wave is a valuable measurement that provides information about both the proximal and distal parts of nerve. Classical F-wave recording methods are performed from muscles limb so affected pathologies. Nerve conduction velocity nerve by diameter gets thinner as it gives branches travels distally. So expected faster in segment than part even they same aim this study to compare...

Cochlear nerve (CN) aplasia refers to the absence of a visible CN on oblique sagittal magnetic resonance images of the lateral aspect of the inner auditory canal (IAC). Magnetic resonance (MR) is the preferred technique in patients with sensorineural hearing loss and/or vertigo; however, computed tomography (CT) is used to evaluate the IAC or facial nerve canal. Three types of aplasia or hypopl...

between 1371 to 1379, of 10 patients with radial tunnel syndrome, 9 patients were treated by decompression of the posterior interosseous nerve. 8 patients were followed up more than 10 months. one patient improved without surgery. half of the patients suffered from pain and all of them had variable degrees of paralysis in muscles innervated by deep branch of the radial nerve. the syndrome was d...

objective(s): to investigate the effect of topical administration of alpha-lipoic acid into chitosan conduit on peripheral nerve regeneration using a rat sciatic nerve transection model. materials and methods: forty five wistar rats were divided into three experimental groups randomly. a 10-mm gap of sciatic nerve was bridged with a chitosan conduit following surgical preparation and anesthesia...
