Reinnervation of Muscle Targets Enhances the Separability of Motor Unit Signals Following Peripheral Nerve Transfers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Injured or cut peripheral nerves can be surgically rerouted to reinnervate new muscle targets. This study demonstrates reinnervated muscles exhibit enhanced separability between individual motor unit signals, which can simplify signal recording and decomposition. These findings highlight the potential of reinnervated muscle to serve as a key biological

An Unusual Presentation of Right-Sided Sciatica with Foot Drop

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2016
Rarely, sciatica is of extraspinal aetiology. By compressing the sciatic nerve, swelling of the short external rotators of the hip can cause sciatica.

A case report of sciatic hernia as a cause of sciatica and lower back pain: Diagnostic dilemma for family physicians

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2022
Degenerative changes in lumbosacral spine or disc bulges impinging on the thecal sac are the usual causes of sciatica. However peripheral compression of sciatic nerve in pelvis or lower limb presenting as sciatica is an uncommon entity.

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Elevated serum C-reactive protein levels in COVID-19 patients with sciatica: implications for prognosis and treatment strategies

Acta Clinica Croatica
To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has reported characteristics of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in COVID-19 patients with comorbidities such as sciatica and lumbar syndrome. Th e objective of this study was to examine whether CRP levels

Proton-pump inhibitor use is associated with a broad spectrum of neurological adverse events including impaired hearing, vision, and memory. [PDF]

, 2019
Proton-pump inhibitors, PPIs, are considered effective therapy for stomach acid suppression due to their irreversible inhibition of the hydrogen/potassium pump in the gastric parietal cells. They are widely prescribed and are considered safe for over-the-

Cancer‐Associated Fibroblast‐Derived Sphingosine‐1‐Phosphate Activates a MALL–SDC4 Axis to Facilitate Perineural Invasion in Pancreatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CAF‐derived S1P activates the S1PR3‐JNK‐Jun signaling pathway, thereby transcriptionally upregulating MALL expression in cancer cells. MALL increases the cell‐surface abundance of SDC4 by promoting its recycling and restricting its lysosomal degradation, which in turn enhances RhoA‐p‐MLC2‐dependent amoeboid invasion and SDC4‐PTN axis‐mediated cancer ...
