Colocolonic intussusception, caused by submucosal lipomas, is extremely rare. These benign soft tissue tumours comprise mature adipocytes of mesenchymal origin. While the majority patients with lipomas remain asymptomatic, large or giant size (>4 cm) have been shown to cause debilitating abdominal pain, alternating bowel pattern, and anaemia secondary gastrointestinal blood loss. This necess...

Abductor digiti minimi First dorsal interossei Martin-Gruber anastomosis Median nerve Ulnar nerve.

BACKGROUND Successful restoration of laryngeal abductor function, using the phrenic nerve, has been described in the cat model in the acute phase. However, in clinical practice there is usually a considerable delay between injury to the RLN and presentation for treatment. Delayed reinnervation therefore would be more suitable in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE To test the feasibility of delayed ...

Microelectrode recordings were taken from neurons of the mesencephalic nucleus of the fifth nerve (mes. V) and from the fifth motor nucleus of decerebrate dogfish ( Scyliorhnusand ) in response: to electrical stimulation of the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve; to electri­ cal excitation of the mes. V tract and in response to mechanical stimulation of the lower jaw. Responses were re...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the dose dependence of citicoline's previously-reported effects on recovery of peripheral nerve injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS Right sciatic nerves of sixty adult female Wistar Albino rats were incised and primary anastomosis was performed. Rats were then divided into four groups: Control group received 2 ml of saline intraperitoneally, while rats in...

The occurrence of abnormally associated movements is inevitable after facial nerve transection. The reason for this post-paralytic syndrome is poor guidance of regrowing axons, whereby a given muscle group is reinnervated by misrouted axonal branches. Olfactory ensheathing glia have been shown to reduce axonal sprouting and stimulate axonal regeneration after transplantation into the spinal cor...

to evaluate the effects of planting date and plant density on morphological characteristics, including essential oil content of ajowan (trachyspermum ammi) a study was conducted during the years 2003 and 2004 at the experimental farm, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad. treatments were laid out in a factorial form based on a complete randomized block design of three replicat...

Background: Olfactory ensheathing glia (OEG) has been shown to have a neuroprotective effect after being transplanted in rats with spinal cord injury. This study was conducted to determine the possible beneficial results of olfactory mucosa transplantation (OMT) which is a source of OEG on functional recovery and axonal regeneration after transection of the sciatic nerve. Methods: In this study...
