Target Receptors of Regenerating Nerves: Neuroma Formation and Current Treatment Options

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Neuromas form as a result of disorganized sensory axonal regeneration following nerve injury. Painful neuromas lead to poor quality of life for patients and place a burden on healthcare systems.

Peripheral nerve injuries [PDF]

The American Journal of Surgery, 1932
Nerve injuries caused by medical interventions (Iatrogenic lesions) can complicate procedures and affect any part of the peripheral nervous system. Available data is fragmentary and little information is accessible on the overall incidence of iatrogenic nerve lesions that ranges from 1.5 to 15%.[1, 2] Major drawbacks are the limited number of patients ...

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 ...

Characterising cellular and molecular features of human peripheral nerve degeneration

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2020
Nerve regeneration is a key biological process in those recovering from neural trauma. From animal models it is known that the regenerative capacity of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) relies heavily on the remarkable ability of Schwann cells to ...

Prevalence of 21 Physician‐Defined Severe Toxicities Following Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment: Australian Retrospective Cohort Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, with an overall survival now surpassing 90% in developed countries. However, treatments are not without adverse effects. In this study, we apply the severe toxicity‐free survival (STFS) framework to determine the prevalence of 21 physician‐defined severe ...

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.
