Can testing of six individual muscles represent a screening approach to upper limb neuropathic conditions? [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: It has previously been demonstrated that an extensive upper limb neurological examination of individual muscle function, sensation in homonymous innervated territories, and nerve trunk allodynia is reliable and that the outcome reflects ...

High‐Resolution Ultrasound of Clinically Relevant Sensory Nerves of the Arm and the Forearm

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Technological advancements in ultrasound systems, particularly the development of high‐ and ultra‐high‐frequency transducers, now allow for the detailed evaluation of sub‐millimetric sensory nerves in the upper limb, extending to their distal branches. This provides invaluable insights in patients with suspected neuropathies.

Nanotechnology in Skin Cancer Therapy: Recent Progress in Targeted Delivery

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skin cancer, encompassing melanoma and non‐melanoma types, remains a significant public health concern globally. Conventional therapies—such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy—are constrained by poor skin penetration, systemic toxicity, and high recurrence rates.

Posture-induced changes in peripheral nerve stiffness measured by ultrasound shear-wave elastography [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Peripheral nerves slide and stretch during limb movements. Changes in nerve stiffness associated with such movements have not been examined in detail but may be important in understanding movement-evoked pain in patients with a variety of ...

Anti‐PSMA Functionalized PLGA‐PEG Nanoparticles for Active Targeting of LnCap Cells and Controlled Release of Docetaxel in Prostate Cancer

Nano Select, EarlyView.
Design of experiments was used to optimize docetaxel‐loaded PLGA‐PEG nanoparticles that were fabricated by nanoprecipitation using a microfluidics technique. The nanoparticles were functionalized with an antibody to target prostate‐specific membrane antigen receptor on LnCap prostate cancer cells.

Ultrasonographic evaluation of ulnar innervated muscles in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Quantitative muscle ultrasound (qMUS) provides morphological measurements that can support clinical observation of muscle atrophy and weakness. As the use of qMUS continues to expand, and its potential for broader implementation in neuromuscular evaluation grows, there is a clear need for further validation, particularly in ...
