Chronic nerve root entrapment: compression and degeneration [PDF]

, 2013
Electrode mounts are being developed to improve electrical stimulation and recording. Some are tight-fitting, or even re-shape the nervous structure they interact with, for a more selective, fascicular, access.

Cauda Equina Syndrome

, 2017
There are very few true orthopedic emergencies. Several conditions such as open fractures, once thought to be emergent, have been shown in the literature to be urgencies that should be tended to in prompt rather than emergent fashion. Some notable emergencies are hemodynamically unstable pelvis fractures, necrotizing fasciitis, and compartment syndrome.

Auditory Hyperresponsivity in Chronic Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Pain Reprocessing Therapy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Heightened sensitivity to noxious stimulation is a hallmark of chronic pain. Emerging evidence suggests heightened unpleasantness to non‐noxious (eg, auditory) aversive stimulation also characterizes chronic pain, but its magnitude, neural mechanisms, and treatment modifiability remain unknown.

Systemic anti‐cancer therapy associated with the occurrence of peripheral neurotoxicity and, specifically, peripheral neuropathy

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? While the effectiveness of systemic anticancer therapy is well documented, it commonly causes severe toxicity. This study of the 467 systemic anticancer therapy agents currently approved globally for clinical and/or research purposes found that peripheral neurotoxicity is associated with 45% of classical chemotherapies, 21% of targeted ...

Cauda equina hemangioblastoma: case report [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2003
Hemangioblastomas of the spinal cord are rare lesions, and those located at the cauda equina are even rarer. Most commonly these tumors are present in patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome.

Adequacy of Single Random Skin Biopsy With Subcutaneous Sampling for the Diagnosis of Intravascular Lymphoma

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Random skin biopsy (RSB) is a valuable method for diagnosis of intravascular lymphoma (IVL). Previous studies have performed RSB at multiple locations. This study aimed to evaluate the adequacy of a single RSB site and the appropriate depth of the biopsies for diagnosing IVL. Methods The study included 209 patients who underwent RSB

Sensory Loss Mimicking Cauda Equina Syndrome due to Cervical Spinal Lesion in a Patient with Clinically Isolated Syndrome

Case Reports in Neurology, 2012
We describe the case of a 39-year-old woman with signs and symptoms suggesting cauda equina syndrome. Lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated no lesion at this level, while cervical MRI showed a T2-hyperintense lesion in the middle ...
