Distal Nerve Transfer for Opponensplasty in the Setting of High Median Nerve Injury: A Case Series

Advances in Orthopedics
Conclusion: In high median-nerve injury, early reconstructive intervention can prevent the thenar muscle atrophy and leads to prompt reinnervation and complete restoration of thenar function.

Case report: Atypical neurofibromatous neoplasm with uncertain biological potential of the sciatic nerve and a widespread arteriovenous fistula mimicking a malignant peripheral nerve tumor in a young patient with neurofibromatosis type 1

Frontiers in Oncology
We report an unusual constellation of diseases in a 32-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) diagnosed with the recently described precursor entity of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), the so-called atypical neurofibromatous ...

Using the main elbow flexion skin crease as an intraoperative parameter to determine the degree of exorotation needed for humeral derotational osteotomies in upper-type brachial plexus patients

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2018
Even though one of the surgical techniques most frequently used to correct external rotation deformity of the shoulder in brachial plexus patients is a humeral derotational osteotomy, few intraoperative parameters has yet been identified to determine the

Climbing-inspired twining electrodes using shape memory for peripheral nerve stimulation and recording

Science Advances, 2019
Proposed 3D neural electrode can self-climb onto peripheral nerve driven by body temperature and form flexible neural interface. Peripheral neuromodulation has been widely used throughout clinical practices and basic neuroscience research.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Microglial responses around intrinsic CNS neurons are correlated with axonal regeneration [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Microglia/macrophages and lymphocytes (T-cells) accumulate around motor and primary sensory neurons that are regenerating axons but there is little or no microglial activation or T-cell accumulation around axotomised intrinsic CNS neurons ...

Mycolactone-mediated neurite degeneration and functional effects in cultured human and rat DRG neurons

Molecular Pain, 2016
Background Mycolactone is a polyketide toxin secreted by the mycobacterium Mycobacterium ulcerans , responsible for the extensive hypoalgesic skin lesions characteristic of patients with Buruli ulcer. A recent pre-clinical study proposed that mycolactone

Modern Trends for Peripheral Nerve Repair and Regeneration: Beyond the Hollow Nerve Guidance Conduit

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019
Peripheral nerve repair and regeneration remains among the greatest challenges in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Even though peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are capable of some degree of regeneration, frail recovery is seen even when the ...

Natural-Based Biomaterials for Peripheral Nerve Injury Repair

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
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.
