Sonographic Anatomy and Imaging of the Extracranial Component of the Hypoglossal Nerve (CNXII)
The hypoglossal nerve (HN) provides motor innervation to tongue muscles responsible for tongue movement, speech, mastication, swallowing, respiratory functions and management of oral secretions. The intracranial component of the HN can be demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging and the extracranial component can be demonstrated with sonographic ...

Relaxin‐2 Ameliorates Spinal Cord Injury by Inhibiting Microglia Activation
ABSTRACT This study aims to assess the therapeutic effectiveness of Relaxin‐2 (RLN‐2) in promoting functional recovery and neuroprotection following spinal cord injury (SCI) in mice. Furthermore, continuous subcutaneous infusion of Serelaxin (0.5 mg/kg/day; human recombinant relaxin‐2) improved neurological recovery, as evidenced by higher Basso ...

Arthrogenic muscle inhibition: A prevalent issue in knee arthroplasty
Abstract Purpose Flexion contracture is a multifactorial complication after knee osteoarthritis and knee arthroplasty. Among the causes, arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) has never been studied. It is a failure to achieve proper quadriceps motor activation, which can lead to flexion contracture due to hamstring contracture.

Abstract Background Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are rare disorders sharing common features of leg spasticity with gait impairment. Simple and complex forms are recognized; over 50% of cases remain unsolved genetically. Little is known about the genetics of HSP among Indigenous Peoples. Objectives To describe clinical, radiological, and genetic

Adjuvant pharmacological strategies for the musculoskeletal system during long‐term space missions
Abstract Despite 2 h of daily exercise training, muscle wasting and bone loss are still present after 6‐month missions to the international space station. Some crew members lose bone much faster than others. In preparation for missions to the Moon and Mars, space agencies are therefore reviewing their countermeasure portfolios.
