the present study was performed to investigate the effects of long-term intraperitoneal (ip) injection of vitamin b12 and diclofenac in separate and combined treatments on cold and mechanical allodynia in a neuropathic pain model in rats. neuropathic pain was induced by crush injury in right tibial nerve. acetone spray and von frey tests were used to obtain cold and mechanical allodynia respons...

Sciatic nerve is the thickest nerve of the sacral plexus, which innervates many muscles and vast areas of the skin of the lower limb. It leaves the pelvis via the greater sciatic foramen, emerges into the gluteal region by passing under the piriformis muscle, and descends beneath the gluteus maximus to divide into its terminal branches: tibial and common peroneal nerve at the superior angle of ...

OBJECTIVE With the use of data from 3 Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) publications, various parameters for buttock/thigh-level sciatic nerve and tibial and common peroneal divisions/nerve injuries were summarized, and outcomes were compared. METHODS Data from 806 buttock/thigh-level sciatic nerve and tibial and common peroneal division/nerve injury repairs were summ...

The etymology of anatomical terminology provides insight into the history anatomy, medicine, and scientific understanding. Therefore, this study assessed language 7th century Codex Amiatinus, earliest surviving most reliable copy Saint Jerome’s original 4th Latin Vulgate translation Bible, for details regarding injury Jacob as described in Book Genesis 32:22-32. Amiatinus notes that sustained a...

Sciatic nerve injury and dysfunction is not an uncommon cause of lower extremity symptoms in a musculoskeletal practice. The sciatic nerve derives its nerve fibers from the L4, L5, S1, S2, and S3 nerve roots. The sciatic nerve arises from the lumbosacral plexus and is composed of two distinct trunks: the lateral (peroneal division) and the medial (tibial division). The peroneal and the tibial d...

We present a rare case of traumatic lesion the tibial fibers sciatic nerve with spared peroneal fibers. A 33-year-old victim three month earlier stabbing attack came to our attention gait impairment and weakened left foot plantar flexion internal rotation supination. Based upon clinical signs neurophysiological investigations we suspected that injury had occurred. Ultrasound examination detecte...

Although a large body of evidence has shown that peripheral nerve injury usually induces neuropathic pain, there are also clinical studies demonstrating that injury of the sural nerve, which almost only innervates skin, fails to do so. The underlying mechanism, however, is largely unknown. In the present work, we found that the transection of either the gastrocnemius-soleus (GS) nerve innervati...

Scar hyperplasia at the suture site is an important reason for hindering the repair effect of peripheral nerve injury anastomosis. To address this issue, two repair methods are often used. Biological agents are used to block nerve sutures and the surrounding tissue to achieve physical anti-adhesion effects. Another agent is glucocorticosteroid, which can prevent scar growth by inhibiting inflam...
