Ultrasound Guidance to Augment Needle Electromyography Precision in the Complex Nerve Injury Setting
ABSTRACT The rise in popularity of nerve transfer surgery in individuals with peripheral nerve and spinal cord injuries has elevated the importance of the preoperative electrodiagnostic examination. Needle electromyography (EMG) provides peripheral nerve surgeons with precise information about donor and recipient muscle health, aiding in decisions ...

In vivo biomechanical responses of neonatal brachial plexus when subjected to stretch
Neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) results from over-stretching of the neonatal brachial plexus during complicated birthing scenarios. The lack of information on the biomechanical response of the neonatal brachial plexus complex when subjected to ...

Risk factors for shoulder dystocia‐related brachial plexus injuries: A case–control study
Shoulder dystocia‐related brachial plexus injury (BPI) shares risk factors with shoulder dystocia: birthweight ≥4000 g, maternal diabetes, vacuum extraction, and height ≤160 cm. Only 14.7% of BPI cases occurred without both shoulder dystocia and birthweight ≥4000 g.

Inhibition of neuronal nitric oxide synthase expression and prevention of mitochondrial dysfunction at spinal ventral horn after c7 spinal root avulsion in rats with taxol [PDF]
Introduction Functional outcome following surgical repair in brachial plexus avulsion injury remains poor. Spinal motorneuron death after brachial plexus avulsion injury has been identified as the neurobiological barrier to functional restitution. Post

Abstract Purpose To determine the gamma criteria that maximize the sensitivity and specificity of the transit dosimetry software PerFRACTION (Sun Nuclear Corporation) under five possible failure modes in external beam radiotherapy. Methods We simulated five failure modes that potentially introduce large changes in the absorbed dose distribution: (1 ...
