Quantification of Palmar and Digital Epidermal Thickness and Sweat Duct Density

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Palmar digital skin, with its high density of epidermal sweat glands and unique stratum corneum, derives its autonomic innervation from peripheral nerves. Understanding the changes to these structures could serve as objective proxy markers following peripheral nerve injury and interventions to promote regeneration.

Neurotropic Effect of Botulinum Toxin and the Potential of Specific Serum Therapy in Botulism (Review)

Безопасность и риск фармакотерапии
INTRODUCTION. The outbreak of foodborne botulism that occurred in Russia in June 2024 once again demonstrated the danger of this rather rare but severe infectious disease caused by ingesting botulinum neurotoxin.

Follistatin Protein Enhances Satellite Cell Counts in Reinnervated Muscle

Journal of Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury, 2022
Background Muscle recovery following peripheral nerve repair is sup-optimal. Follistatin (FST), a potent muscle stimulant, enhances muscle size and satellite cell counts following reinnervation when administered as recombinant FST DNA via viral vectors ...

Longitudinal RNA-Seq analysis of acute and chronic neurogenic skeletal muscle atrophy. [PDF]

, 2019
Skeletal muscle is a highly adaptable tissue capable of changes in size, contractility, and metabolism according to functional demands. Atrophy is a decline in mass and strength caused by pathologic loss of myofibrillar proteins, and can result from ...

Maximizing Neurovascular Outcomes of Facial Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facial transplantation is a division of reconstructive surgery which aims to improve the function and appearance of a face that has endured severe disfigurement. Currently, the face transplant procedure uses allogenic tissue, harvested from a brain‐dead donor, to replace damaged facial components.

Abnormal Reinnervation of Denervated Areas Following Nerve Injury Facilitates Neuropathic Pain

Cells, 2020
An injury to peripheral nerves leads to skin denervation, which often is followed by increased pain sensitivity of the denervated areas and the development of neuropathic pain.

Treatment With Nimodipine or FK506 After Facial Nerve Repair Neither Improves Accuracy of Reinnervation Nor Recovery of Mimetic Function in Rats

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
PurposeNimodipine and FK506 (Tacrolimus) are drugs that have been reported to accelerate peripheral nerve regeneration. We therefore tested these substances aiming to improve the final functional outcome of motoric reinnervation after facial nerve injury.

Motor unit properties in the biceps brachii of stroke patients assessed with surface array EMG [PDF]

, 2007
As a consequence of a stroke, both motor control as well as motor unit (MU) characteristics may change, e.g. MU size has been reported to increase due to reinnervation.

Quantifying the Pressure of Labial and Buccinator Regions Pre‐ and Post‐ Facial Nerve Reanimation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Flaccid facial nerve paralysis (FFNP) impairs oral function and quality of life. Tensor fascia lata slings (TFL) are used to improve oral competence. This study used the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) to measure oral competence in patients with FFNP undergoing facial reanimation.
