Endometriosis of the sciatic nerve [PDF]
, manifesting as cyclic sciatica, parestesis and pa-resis with loss of deep tendon reflex. We cite a case of sci-atica endometriosis and make a review of the literature.CASEA 26-year-old Caucasian woman exhibits intense pain and weakness in the lower left limb, which had pro-gressed over the past nine years.

Studies have confirmed that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be used for treatment of several nervous system diseases. However, isolation of bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) is an invasive and painful process and the yield is very ...

Optical coherence tomography imaging of evoked neural activity in sciatic nerve of rat [PDF]
Significance: Imaging neural activity in myelinated tissue using optical coherence tomography (OCT) creates new possibilities for functional imaging in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Aim: To investigate changes in OCT images in response to evoked neural activity in sciatic nerve of rat in vitro.

The alternatively spliced fibronectin CS1 isoform regulates IL-17A levels and mechanical allodynia after peripheral nerve injury. [PDF]
BackgroundMechanical pain hypersensitivity associated with physical trauma to peripheral nerve depends on T-helper (Th) cells expressing the algesic cytokine, interleukin (IL)-17A.

The free energy of biomembrane and nerve excitation and the role of anesthetics [PDF]
In the electromechanical theory of nerve stimulation, the nerve impulse consists of a traveling region of solid membrane in a liquid environment. Therefore, the free energy necessary to stimulate a pulse is directly related to the free energy difference necessary to induce a phase transition in the nerve membrane.

Activity of Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterases and Adenylyl Cyclase in Peripheral Nerve after Crush and Permanent Transection Injuries [PDF]
Recent studies demonstrate that cAMP levels are tightly controlled during demyelination and remyelination in Schwann cells as cAMP decreases to 8–10% of normal following both sciatic nerve crush or permanent transection injury and only begins to increase

Extracting morphometric information from rat sciatic nerve using optical coherence tomography [PDF]
We apply three optical coherence tomography (OCT) image analysis techniques to extract morphometric information from OCT images obtained on peripheral nerves of rat. The accuracy of each technique is evaluated against histological measurements accurate to +/-1 um. The three OCT techniques are: 1) average depth resolved profile (ADRP); 2) autoregressive

Non-invasive detection of animal nerve impulses with an atomic magnetometer operating near quantum limited sensitivity [PDF]
Magnetic fields generated by human and animal organs, such as the heart, brain and nervous system carry information useful for biological and medical purposes. These magnetic fields are most commonly detected using cryogenically-cooled superconducting magnetometers.
