Long gap peripheral nerve injuries usually reulting in life-changing problems for patients. Skeletal muscle derived-multipotent stem cells (Sk-MSCs) can differentiate into Schwann and perineurial/endoneurial cells, vascular relating pericytes, and endothelial and smooth muscle cells in the damaged peripheral nerve niche. Application of the Sk-MSCs in the bridging conduit for repairing long nerv...

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are an adverse complication from surgery. This quality project has four objectives: 1) Raise the awareness of peripheral nerve injury for operating room (OR) nurses; 2) implement a decision support screen to assist in the patient assessment and offer evidence-based interventions; 3) improve the nursing documentation of patient positioning; and 4) decrease the ov...

Aim: Cigarette smoking is a common addictive manner and one of the greatest threats to health. Nicotine main components cigarette. The aim this study was reveal effect cotinine which an active metabolite nicotine, on peripheral nerve injury in rats. Material Methods: We studied 42 male adult albino-Wistar rats that were divided into three groups with simple randomization method. Group 1 given C...

This article reviews the electrodiagnostic (EDX) prognostic factors for focal traumatic and nontraumatic peripheral nerve injuries. Referring physicians and patients often benefit from general and nerve-specific prognostic information from the EDX consultant. Knowing the probable outcome from a nerve injury allows the referring physician to choose the best treatment options for his/her patients...

Clinicians caring for patients with brachial plexus and other nerve injuries must possess a clear understanding of the peripheral nervous system's response to trauma. In this article, the authors briefly review peripheral nerve injury (PNI) types, discuss the common injury classification schemes, and describe the dynamic processes of degeneration and reinnervation that characterize the PNI resp...
