The trapezius plane block: Extended use in perioperative pain management in nerve transfer surgeries

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia
Nerve transfer surgery has emerged as a promising approach to restoring function in paralyzed muscles. The trapezius plane block (TPB) blocks the thoracic branches of the posterior primary rami, providing extended analgesia in nerve transfer surgeries ...

Retrieval Practice Through an Integrated Anatomy Laboratory Experience in a Doctor of Physical Therapy Curriculum

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gross anatomy is a foundational first‐year component of Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curriculum, with limited future vertical integration. Retrieval practice and spaced learning to enhance retention are rarely embedded in second‐year DPT coursework.

A Unique Case of Intradural Communicating Branches between the Accessory Nerve and the Dorsal Roots of the Cervical Spinal Nerves

, 2013
Objective The accessory nerve has cranial and spinal roots. The cranial roots emerge from the medulla, whereas the spinal roots arise from motor cells within the ventral horn of C1-C7 segments of the spinal cord.

Evolutionary and developmental understanding of the spinal accessory nerve

Zoological Letters, 2015
The vertebrate spinal accessory nerve (SAN) innervates the cucullaris muscle, the major muscle of the neck, and is recognized as a synapomorphy that defines living jawed vertebrates. Morphologically, the cucullaris muscle exists between the branchiomeric series of muscles innervated by special visceral efferent neurons and the rostral somitic muscles ...

Donor‐To‐Recipient Mean Axonal Count Ratios of Upper Limb Nerves Used in Nerve Transfer Surgery: A Systematic Review of Histomorphometric Cadaveric Studies

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nerve transfer surgery may be performed to restore sensorimotor function following peripheral nerve trauma or dysfunction. There is biological plausibility and limited correlative evidence that donor‐to‐recipient axon count ratios may impact functional outcomes.

Third head of sternocleidomastoid muscle

National Journal of Clinical Anatomy, 2013
During routine dissection in the neck region, a third head of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle was found unilaterally in one cadaver and bilaterally in another cadaver. In both the cases third head was supplied by the spinal accessory nerve.

Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

Iliac Attachment of the Psoas Major Muscle: Anatomical Study of a Novel Muscle Attachment

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The iliopsoas muscle is important functionally and is often encountered during various surgical procedures. During routine cadaveric dissection, a previously undescribed muscular structure was located deep to the iliacus muscle and coursed inferomedially to merge with the posterior aspect of the psoas major, running over the iliopectineal ...

Initiation of Gabapentin with Opioids and Risk of Respiratory Cardiovascular and Opioid‐Related Adverse Events Following Surgery for Breast Cancer

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pain is a key determinant of quality‐of‐life following breast cancer surgery, the most common cancer operation in the United States. Gabapentinoids are frequently prescribed for pain management, yet their respiratory, cardiovascular, and opioid‐related adverse effects remain unclear.
