Quantitative and qualitative normative dataset for intraepidermal nerve fibers using skin biopsy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Skin biopsy is the most relevant tool to diagnose small-fiber neuropathy. A well-documented normal dataset for intraepidermal nerve fiber in the distal leg is required to improve its diagnostic value.Three hundred healthy subjects were enrolled in the ...

Corneal Confocal Microscopy to Image Small Nerve Fiber Degeneration: Ophthalmology Meets Neurology
Frontiers in Pain Research, 2021 Neuropathic pain has multiple etiologies, but a major feature is small fiber dysfunction or damage. Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a rapid non-invasive ophthalmic imaging technique that can image small nerve fibers in the cornea and has been ...

Absence of Buckling in Nerve Fiber
, 2018 In this study we give a geometrical model which employs the smoothness of nerve fibers as differentiable curves. We show that a nerve fiber may encounter large curvature due to the possible helicial bending and hence it could cause the fiber to buckle ...
