Expression profiles of TRPV1, TRPV4, TLR4 and ERK1/2 in the dorsal root ganglionic neurons of a cancer-induced neuropathy rat model [PDF]
Background: The spread of tumors through neural routes is common in several types of cancer in which patients suffer from a moderate-to-severe neuropathy, neural damage and a distorted quality of life. Here we aim to examine the expression profiles of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 ...

On a Fractional Stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley Model [PDF]
The model studied in this paper is a stochastic extension of the so-called neuron model introduced by Hodgkin and Huxley. In the sense of rough paths, the model is perturbed by a multiplicative noise driven by a fractional Brownian motion, with a vector field satisfying the viability condition of Coutin and Marie for $\mathbb R\times [0,1]^3$.

Soft Wrist Exosuit Actuated by Fabric Pneumatic Artificial Muscles [PDF]
Recently, soft actuator-based exosuits have gained interest, due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, inherent safety, and low cost. We present a novel wrist exosuit actuated by fabric pneumatic artificial muscles that has lightweight wearable components (160 g) and can move the wrist in flexion/extension and ulnar/radial deviation.

A machine learning-based severity prediction tool for diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy using Michigan neuropathy screening instrumentations [PDF]
Background: Diabetic Sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) is a major long-term complication in diabetic patients associated with painful neuropathy, foot ulceration and amputation. The Michigan neuropathy screening instrument (MNSI) is one of the most common screening techniques for DSPN, however, it does not provide any direct severity grading system ...

Ulnar nerve decompression with osteocapsular arthroplasty for primary elbow osteoarthritis
Purpose The aim of this study was to suggest treatment guidline for primary elbow OA with ulnar nerve neuropathy or high-grade stiffness by evaluating the effect of ulnar nerve decompression on the outcome of osteocapsular arthroplasty.

Ulnar tunnel syndrome could be broadly defined as a compressive neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the level of the wrist. The ulnar tunnel, or Guyon\u27s canal, has a complex and variable anatomy.

Unconstrained Kinematic MRI Tracking of Wrist Carpal Bones [PDF]
In this preliminary study technical methodology for kinematic tracking and profiling of wrist carpal bones during unconstrained movements is explored. Heavily under-sampled and fat-saturated 3D Cartesian MRI acquisition were used to capture temporal frames of the unconstrained moving wrist of 5 healthy subjects.

290 surgical procedures for ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow: Physiopathology, clinical experience and results [PDF]
Ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow is an important and relatively frequent pathological condition that may be related to diffent causes depending on individual or external factors. The cause of the nerve lesion is also idiopathic in about one-quarter to

Shear-wave elastography: a new potential method to diagnose ulnar neuropathy at the elbow
ObjectivesThe primary aim of this study was to verify if shear-wave elastography (SWE) can be used to diagnose ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE). The secondary objective was to compare the cross-sectional areas (CSA) of the ulnar nerve in the cubital ...
