Detection of wound healing disorders after major amputations by measurements of the microcirculation: A prospective single-center study

open access: yesSAGE Open Medicine
Introduction: Although major amputations can often be avoided due to evolving methods of endovascular and surgical revascularizations techniques, in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia, it is still necessary in some cases.

Optical Stimulation and Monitoring of the Peripheral Nervous System: Perspectives and Challenges Toward Clinical Translation

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optical neuromodulation with IR light allows stimulation of the PNS without the need for physical contact with the target nerve or without requiring any genetic modification. The clinical translation of this technique will pave the way to the development of neural interfaces for restoring sensory feedback in individuals with limb amputation.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Touch on predefined areas on the forearm can be associated with specific fingers: Towards a new principle for sensory feedback in hand prostheses

open access: yesJournal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2019
Objective: Currently available hand prostheses lack sensory feedback. A “phantom hand map”, a referred sensation, on the skin of the residual arm is a possible target to provide amputees with non-invasive somatotopically matched sensory feedback.

Can Food Acquisition Priority Alter Emotion, Physiological Responses, and Social Rank in Fish?

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We tested whether a cichlid fish perceives inequitable food distribution by manipulating feeding order. Priority‐fed individuals consumed more, had higher condition factors, and exhibited lower whole‐body cortisol than delayed‐fed fish, while personality, metabolism, dopamine, and social rank did not differ.

Dissociation of phantom limb phenomena from stump tactile spatial acuity and sensory thresholds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Most amputees experience phantom limb sensations and/or phantom limb pain as well as residual limb (stump) pain that are resistant to treatment. Phantom phenomena are not homogeneous; each patient presents with a unique combination of spontaneous or ...

Topical Nifedipine Administration for Secondary Prevention in Frostbitten Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Frostbite is a cold-related injury with a growing incidence among healthy subjects. Sequelae after frostbite are frequent and vary among individuals. Here, we studied the thermal response in the digits of hands and feet of five subjects who had recovered

Time course of traumatic neuroma development. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
This study was designed to characterize morphologic stages during neuroma development post amputation with an eye toward developing better treatment strategies that intervene before neuromas are fully formed.

Dermal chondrosarcoma in a cat with prolonged survival after limb amputation

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
A 5‐year‐old male entire domestic shorthair cat presented with a firm dermal mass on the dorsal left metatarsal region. Diagnostic investigations included haematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, biopsy, histopathology and computed tomography staging. Histopathology of the tissue biopsy, including immunohistochemistry, confirmed a dermal chondrosarcoma ...
