Lumbosacral Plexogram: An Aid to Reconstructive Nerve Possibilities in the Lower Extremity

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. The lumbosacral plexus is the network of nerves responsible for the motor and sensory function of the pelvis and lower limb. Our observation is that the anatomy of this plexus is less familiar to surgeons than that of the brachial plexus ...

Differential Gene Expression in Primary Cultured Sensory and Motor Nerve Fibroblasts

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Fibroblasts (Fbs) effectively promote Schwann cells (SCs) migration, proliferation, and neurite regeneration. Whether Fbs express different motor and sensory phenotypes that regulate the cell behavior and peripheral nerve function has not been elucidated.

Nerve injuries

Medical Clinics of North America, 1994
Sports medicine physicians should be able to recognize and manage peripheral nerve injuries in athletes. Most often, the injury is a result of repetitive microtrauma, linking peripheral nerve injury to other musculoskeletal injuries in athletes. As with other musculoskeletal injuries, rest and a modification of the athlete's regimen often lead to ...

Neuron-autonomous transcriptome changes upon ischemia/reperfusion injury

Scientific Reports, 2017
Ischemic stroke and the following reperfusion, an acute therapeutic intervention, can cause irreversible brain damages. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms are still under investigation.

Identification of hub genes related to the innate immune response activated during spinal cord injury

FEBS Open Bio, 2022
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Two major factors that hinder spinal cord repair are local inflammation and glial scar formation after SCI, and thus appropriate immunotherapy may alleviate damage.

A High Rate Tension Device for Characterizing Brain Tissue [PDF]

Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, 226 (2012) 170-176, 2013
The mechanical characterization of brain tissue at high loading velocities is vital for understanding and modeling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The most severe form of TBI is diffuse axonal injury (DAI) which involves damage to individual nerve cells (neurons). DAI in animals and humans occurs at strains > 10% and strain rates > 10/s.

MET and NF2 alterations confer primary and early resistance to first‐line alectinib treatment in ALK‐positive non‐small‐cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Alectinib resistance in ALK+ NSCLC depends on treatment sequence and EML4‐ALK variants. Variant 1 exhibited off‐target resistance after first‐line treatment, while variant 3 and later lines favored on‐target mutations. Early resistance involved off‐target alterations, like MET and NF2, while on‐target mutations emerged with prolonged therapy.
