Embryogenesis of the peripheral nervous system
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2004Embryogenesis is a complex, wide-ranging event. Key processes may proceed simultaneously in different portions of the embryo, or sequentially, with phase offsets as waves of maturation pass outward from an initial point toward the periphery. The molecular signals used to pattern the body commonly serve multiple functions and reiterate as the body plan ...

Imaging of the peripheral nervous system
2013This chapter summarizes progress in the evaluation of peripheral nerve (PN) lesions and disorders by imaging techniques encompassing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nerve ultrasound (US). Due to the radiation exposure and limited sensitivity in soft tissue contrast, computed-tomography (CT) plays no significant role in the diagnostic work-up of PN

Cannabis and the Peripheral Nervous System
British Journal of Psychiatry, 1977The possible ill-effects of cannabis on the peripheral nervous system were examined in 27 male subjects with respect to their motor and sensory nerve conduction. They were classified by their previous cannabis use into casual and heavy users. The nerve conduction studies were done after a baseline period of five days and then repeated after a three ...

Peripheral Nervous System Topics
2012*Adopts standard nomenclature following the new scheme by Paxinos, Watson, and Puelles and aligned with the Mai et al. Atlas of the Human Brain (new edition in 2007) * Provides essential reference information for users in conjunction with brain atlases for the identification of brain structures, the connectivity between different areas, and to evaluate

Autoimmunity in the Peripheral Nervous System
Critical Reviews in Neurobiology, 2003Autoimmune disorders of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases that result from an aberrant immune response. Most of these disorders present severe morbidity and, in some cases, mortality. Even those conditions that are self-limited may display severe disability and necessitate hospitalization.

REGENERATION IN THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 1989Mammalian peripheral nerve fibres can regenerate after injury. Repair is most likely to succeed if axons are simply crushed or have only a very short (< 0–5 cm) interstump gap to cross and most likely to fail if the interstump gap is long (> l cm) and associated with soft tissue damage. Whereas reactive axonal sprouting appears to be an intrinsic

Sarcoidosis of the peripheral nervous system
Neurological Research, 1993The clinical and electrophysiologic data of four new patients with sarcoidosis involving the peripheral nerves are presented and the subject is reviewed. Two had a symmetric polyneuropathy and two had polyradiculopathy. These plus the few cases in the literature indicate that the findings on electromyography are most consistent with axonal neuropathy ...

Neoplasms of the Peripheral Nervous System
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1990Neoplasms of the peripheral nervous system arise from the cellular sheath surrounding the nerve trunks, that is, the pluripotential Schwann cells and related cells, and rarely affect the feet. When present, they are most frequently associated with the autosomal dominantly inherited neurofibromatosis 1.

Metastases to the peripheral nervous system
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2005Cancer metastasis can affect any part of the nervous system. When the peripheral nervous system is involved, the usual targets are cranial nerves, nerve roots and plexi. However, peripheral nerves and muscles can also be affected by compression or infiltration of neoplastic cells.

Alcohol and peripheral nervous system
Therapeutische Umschau, 2000Die Alkoholpolyneuropathie ist noch vor dem Alkoholdelir die häufigste Alkoholfolgeerkrankung. Sie manifestiert sich mit einem Polyneuropathiesyndrom: distal betonte, an den Beinen überwiegende, handschuh- und strumpfförmig verteilte Hautempfindungsstörungen; atrophische Lähmungen der distalen Extremitätenmuskulatur, Abschwächung oder Verlust der ...
