Application of stem cells in peripheral nerve regeneration
Traumatic peripheral nerve injury is a worldwide clinical issue with high morbidity. The severity of peripheral nerve injury can be classified as neurapraxia, axonotmesis or neurotmesis, according to Seddon’s classification, or five different degrees ...

Natural-Based Biomaterials for Peripheral Nerve Injury Repair
Peripheral nerve injury treatment is a relevant problem because of nerve lesion high incidence and because of unsatisfactory regeneration after severe injuries, thus resulting in a reduced patient’s life quality.

Correlates of calcaneal quantitative ultrasound parameters in patients with diabetes: the study on the assessment of determinants of muscle and bone strength abnormalities in diabetes [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) provides an estimate of bone mineral density (BMD) and also evaluates bone quality, which has been related to increased fracture risk in people with diabetes.

Synovial sarcoma of the brachial plexus – a rare tumor in a rare area: a case report
Background Synovial cell sarcomas are usually seen in a juxta-articular location. However, they occur rarely in the head and neck region. Case presentation We report a rare case of brachial plexus synovial sarcoma in a 24-year old South Asian man treated

Characterising cellular and molecular features of human peripheral nerve degeneration
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 ...

Peripheral nerve surgery in Serbia: “Think global, act local” and the privilege of service
Introduction: The phrase “think globally, act locally”, which has often been used to refer to conservation of the environment, highlights the importance of maintaining a holistic perspective and stipulates that each individual has a role to play in their

A technique for electrically inserting electrode arrays into peripheral nerves [PDF]
The authors developed a system based on high-frequency cutting methods to facilitate the insertion of multi-dimensional electrode arrays into peripheral nerves. The system incorporates a feedback loop for controlling arc intensity. This should reduce the
