Ultrasound‐guided sciatic nerve block at the midthigh level in a porcine model: A descriptive study
Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2020 Background and Objective There are a growing number of porcine models being used for orthopaedic experiments for human beings. Therefore, pain management of those research pigs using ultrasound (US)‐guided nerve block can be usefully performed.

Denervated Schwann cells attract macrophages by secretion of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a process regulated by interleukin-6 and LIF [PDF]
, 2002 Injury to peripheral nerves results in the infiltration of immune cells, which remove axonal- and myelin-derived material. Schwann cells could play a key role in this process by regulating macrophage infiltration.

A Cadaveric Study on the Variation in the Level of Division of Sciatic Nerve in Nepalese Population
Journal of Nobel Medical College, 2020 Background: Sciatic nerve, the thickest nerve of our body (around 2cm wide at its origin), leaves the pelvic cavity from the greater sciatic foramina below the piriformis muscle and between the greater trochanter of femur and ischial tuberosity.

Ultrasound-Guided Femoral and Sciatic Nerve Blocks for Repair of Tibia and Fibula Fractures in a Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) [PDF]
, 2016 Locoregional anesthetic techniques may be a very useful tool for the anesthetic management of wallabies with injuries of the pelvic limbs and may help to prevent capture myopathies resulting from stress and systemic opioids’ administration.

Continuous sciatic nerve block [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1984 Summary A technique of continuous sciatic nerve block is described. The method was used to relieve pain from ischaemic gangrene of the foot for 2 days before below‐knee amputation and, combined with a continuous inguinal paravascular block, to provide regional anaesthesia both for the surgery and for the first 2 postoperative days.

Nlrp6 promotes recovery after peripheral nerve injury independently of inflammasomes [PDF]
, 2015 Background: NOD-like receptors (Nlrs) are key regulators of immune responses during infection and autoimmunity. A subset of Nlrs assembles inflammasomes, molecular platforms that are activated in response to endogenous danger and microbial ligands and ...

Thrombin regulates the ability of Schwann cells to support neuritogenesis and to maintain the integrity of the nodes of Ranvier [PDF]
, 2020 Schwann cells (SC) are characterized by a remarkable plasticity that enables them to promptly respond to nerve injury promoting axonal regeneration. In peripheral nerves after damage SC convert to a repair-promoting phenotype activating a sequence of ...
