Placental‐Derived Connective Tissue Matrix Mediates Murine Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Regeneration
Placentally derived connective tissue matrix (pd‐CTM) innately contains various neurotrophic, angiogenic, anti‐inflammatory, and tissue remodeling cytokines. In this mouse model of unilateral vocal fold paralysis, we investigate its effects on recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) regeneration and reinnervation of the right thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle after ...

Congenital Unilateral Trochlear-Oculomotor Nerve Synkinesis: A Case Report
Introduction: Involuntary muscle stimulation by a nerve other than the normal muscle innervation leads to ocular synkinesis. The most common form of ocular synkinesis, which involves the extraocular muscles, occurs between the abducens and ...

Acquired ptosis associated with oculomotor and contralateral facial nerve synkinesis: the first reported case [PDF]
Evidence of oculomotor nerve (ON) synkinesis is a common occurrence following both acquired and congenital III nerve palsy. It is generally accepted that aberrant regeneration is the likely aetiology of synkinesis in acquired III nerve palsy, following ...
