OBJECTIVE In our clinical practice, we have noted a caliber change of the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) at the elbow as seen in the long axis on sonography simulating nerve entrapment. The objective of this study was to characterize the PIN using sonography in asymptomatic individuals. METHODS Our study retrospectively characterized the PIN in 50 elbows of 47 asymptomatic patients with s...

Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment mononeuropathy and can affect patients' daily living activities. In this study, it was aimed to find out whether there a relationship between fatigue, neuropathic pain neurophysiological features in CTS.
 Material Method: Patients with clinical compatible CTS were included retrospective study. Median nerve compound mu...

BACKGROUND: Tissue engineered blood vessels could address the large clinical need for small caliber vascular grafts. Self-assembly approaches that employ transient scaffolds to form tissues from only cells and secreted matrix could form completely autologous vascular grafts that rapidly remodel and integrate with host tissue in vivo. The objective of this study was to develop a simple and rapid...
