Nerve Tracing in Juvenile Rats : A Feasible Model for the Study of Brachial Plexus Birth Palsy and Cocontractions?

open access: yes
Brachial plexus birth injuries cause diminished motor function in the upper extremity. The most common sequel is internal rotation contracture. A number of these patients also suffer from cocontractions, preventing the use of an otherwise good passive ...

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

Supplementary motor area deactivation impacts the recovery of hand function from severe peripheral nerve injury

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2016
Although some patients have successful peripheral nerve regeneration, a poor recovery of hand function often occurs after peripheral nerve injury. It is believed that the capability of brain plasticity is crucial for the recovery of hand function.

Primary Tumor Location and Lymphatic Spread in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) frequently metastasizes to cervical lymph nodes. Surgical planning is often based on the presumed central‐to‐lateral pattern of spread. The extent of central and lateral neck dissection remains controversial, with recommendations largely derived from small series. The study aimed to determine whether

Obstetric brachial plexus injury complicated with glenohumeral dysplasia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Brachial plexus injury is the most common cause of plegic arm in neonates. Detection of nerve root avulsions and intraspinal nerve lesions is most valuable for treatment strategy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for imaging the

Prevalence of shoulder subluxation diagnosed via ultrasound screening in infants with birth brachial plexus injuries

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Posterior shoulder subluxation and glenohumeral dysplasia are known secondary complications of birth brachial plexus palsies (BBPP) that contribute to functional limitations. The prevalence of shoulder subluxation in infants with BBPP and the timeline of when subluxation occurs in the first year of life remain unclear, with prior ...
