Spotlight on nerves: Portable multispectral optoacoustic imaging of peripheral nerve vascularization and morphology [PDF]
Various morphological and functional parameters of peripheral nerves and their vascular supply are indicative of pathological changes due to injury or disease. Based on recent improvements in optoacoustic image quality, we explore the ability of multispectral optoacoustic tomography, in tandem with ultrasound imaging (OPUS), to investigate the vascular

Unresolved excess accumulation of myelin-derived cholesterol contributes to scar formation after spinal cord injury [PDF]
Background: Spinal cord injury triggers complex pathological cascades, resulting in destructive tissue damage and incomplete tissue repair. Scar formation is generally considered as a barrier for regeneration in central nervous system (CNS), while the intrinsic mechanism of scar-forming after spinal cord injury has not been completed deciphered ...

Electro-mechanical response of a 3D nerve bundle model to mechanical loads leading to axonal injury [PDF]
Objective: Traumatic brain injuries and damage are major causes of death and disability. We propose a 3D fully coupled electro-mechanical model of a nerve bundle to investigate the electrophysiological impairments due to trauma at the cellular level. Methods: The coupling is based on a thermal analogy of the neural electrical activity by using the ...

Entrapment and traumatic neuropathies of the elbow and hand: An imaging approach [PDF]
Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging currently offer a detailed analysis of the peripheral nerves. Compressive and traumatic nerve injuries are the two main indications for imaging investigation of nerves with several publications describing the ...

Scaffolds for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration, the Importance of In Vitro and In Vivo Studies for the Development of Cell-Based Therapies and Biomaterials: State of the Art [PDF]
Human adult peripheral nerve injuries are a high incidence clinical problem that greatly affects patients’ quality of life. Although peripheral nervous system has intrinsic regenerative capacity, this occurs in an incomplete or poorly functional manner ...

Novel Advancements in Three-Dimensional Neural Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine [PDF]
Neurological diseases and injuries present some of the greatest challenges in modern medicine, often causing irreversible and lifelong burdens in the people whom they afflict. These diagnoses have devastating consequences on millions of people each year, and yet there are currently no therapies or interventions that can repair the structure of neural ...

Somatic Nerve Reconstruction and Reinnervation [PDF]
Somatic nerves include somatic sensory and somatic motor, both of which are part of the peripheral nervous system. When somatic motor nerve or somatosensory nerve produces injury, then it belongs to peripheral nerve injury.

Current Concept in Adult Peripheral Nerve and Brachial Plexus Surgery
Peripheral nerve injuries and brachial plexus injuries are relatively frequent. Significance of these injuries lies in the fact that the majority of patients with these types of injuries constitute working population.
