Partial Transection of Adult Rat Optic Nerve as a Model of Secondary Degeneration in the Central Nervous System

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2018
Injury to the central nervous system is characterized by damage that spreads from the initial point of impact into the surrounding adjacent tissue, in a phenomenon referred to as secondary degeneration.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization are Equally Effective in Patients of Different Ages with Spinal Degeneration

open access: yesReabilitacijos Mokslai: Slauga, Kineziterapija, Ergoterapija, 2022
Background. Back pain is the most common symptom caused by intervertebral disc degeneration, thus various interventions are used to relieve it, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization. The aim. To

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

ATF3 upregulation in glia during Wallerian degeneration: differential expression in peripheral nerves and CNS white matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Background: Many changes in gene expression occur in distal stumps of injured nerves but the transcriptional control of these events is poorly understood.

Adrenergic nerve degeneration in bone marrow drives aging of the hematopoietic stem cell niche

open access: yesNature Medicine, 2018
Aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is associated with a decline in their regenerative capacity and multilineage differentiation potential, contributing to the development of blood disorders.

A model of toxic neuropathy in Drosophila reveals a role for MORN4 in promoting axonal degeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Axonal degeneration is a molecular self-destruction cascade initiated following traumatic, toxic, and metabolic insults. Its mechanism underlies a number of disorders including hereditary and diabetic neuropathies and the neurotoxic side effects of ...

Reflections on the Utility of the Retina as a Biomarker for Alzheimer's Disease: A Literature Review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
As a part of the central nervous system, the retina may reflect both physiologic processes and abnormalities related to diseases of the brain. Indeed, a concerted effort has been put forth to understand how Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology may manifest

Intravitreal NGF administration counteracts retina degeneration after permanent carotid artery occlusion in rat

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2009
Background The neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) is produced by different cell types in the anterior and posterior eye, exerting a neuroprotective role in the adult life.

Functional disability of occupational-related lumbar disc degeneration: Evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging with surgical correlation

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2017
Objectives: The objectives of our work were to determine disability and study MRI findings of occupational-related lumbar disc degeneration and also to show the relationship between MRI grading of nerve root compromise with surgical grading. Participants
