Severe maternal and neonatal morbidity or mortality in forceps versus cesarean birth in the second stage of labor: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Approximately one in four first‐time mothers reach the second stage of labor but cannot have a spontaneous vaginal birth, necessitating an intervention such as forceps to facilitate birth. Objective This study synthesizes evidence comparing severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and neonatal morbidity or mortality (SNMM) following forceps ...

Anatomy of the brachial plexus

Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, 2011
The brachial plexus is a complex anatomical network of nerves that mainly supplies the upper limb. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of this region provides the clinician with valuable clinical information that is crucial for evaluating and planning treatment for patients with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy.

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Sonographic localisation of lymph nodes suspicious of metastatic breast cancer to surgical axillary levels

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 119-138, March 2025.
Sonographic imaging is used to identify the presence, number and location of malignant lymph nodes. Axillary lymph nodes suspicious of harbouring breast cancer metastasis can be localised to three surgical axillary levels. This paper will unpack the axillary anatomy, muscular sonographic landmarks, surgical axillary lymph node levels and the ...

Sono‐Anatomy and Histology of the Deep Fasciae in the Upper Limb

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
The deep fascia of the upper limb represents a pivotal anatomical structure essential for effective force transmission, dynamic compartmentalization and musculoskeletal stability. Its composition (rich in type I collagen fibers) enables both mechanical resilience and functional adaptability, crucial for the upper limb's complex movements.

Electrical Modalities in the Rehabilitation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries: State of the Literature and Current Clinical Applications

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

BRACHIAL PLEXUS SURGERY [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1916
The present European war, with its colossal total of wounds, many of which inevitably involve the peripheral nerves, has aroused an added interest and stimulated additional research in the surgery of this system. Brachial plexus injuries in the adult, aside from those resulting from gunshot or stab wounds, or secondary to skeletal injuries, are rare ...

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &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

Lumbosacral Plexopathy: A Single‐Center Review of Etiology, Clinical Presentation, Electrodiagnostic Findings, and Long‐Term Outcomes

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Lumbosacral plexopathy (LSP) results from a spectrum of etiologies and can cause substantial functional impairment. Limited data exist on the relative distribution of etiologies and outcomes across broad tertiary‐care cohorts spanning multiple causes of LSP.
