Fishes have remarkable ability to effectively rebuild the structure of nerve cells and nerve fibers after central nervous system injury. However, the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. In order to address this issue, we investigated the proliferation and apoptosis of cells in contralateral and ipsilateral optic nerves, after stab wound injury to the eye of an adult trout Oncorhynchus my...

Peripheral nerve injury not only affects the site of the injury, but can also induce neuronal apoptosis at the spinal cord. However, many acupuncture clinicians still focus only on the injury site, selecting acupoints entirely along the injured nerve trunk and neglecting other regions; this may delay onset of treatment efficacy and rehabilitation. Therefore, in the present study, we compared th...

Objective: “Cheiralgia paresthetica” is the term suggested by Wartenberg in 1932, to define isolated neuropathy of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SRN). Radial nerve compression can occur throughout its course in the forearm, especially in the tunnel region beneath the tendon of the brachioradialis muscle. The authors report three cases with review of the literatures. Methods: The a...

Knowledge of radial nerve motor branch anatomy is important when performing surgery in its vicinity, neurorrhaphy, and nerve blocks and for understanding the rate and order of recovery of muscle function after injury. Twenty normal fresh cadaver arms were dissected to quantitate radial nerve motor branch anatomy in the forearm. Though variable in individual specimens, innervation order from pro...

Nerve Injury In article 2200227, Jingwei Xie and co-workers summarize the recent advances in microfluidic nerve injury models, which enable scientists to test various hypotheses regeneration mechanisms. Representative device designs techniques, such as vacuum-assisted axotomy, compression or tension-based physical injury, laser-based chemical are described discussed.

background suprascapular neuropathy (ssn) is generally thought of as a diagnosis of exclusion. however, increasing attention is being paid to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of this pathology to prevent chronic supraspinatus and infraspinatus atrophy in patients. to date, literature has only articulated variable or customized treatment and rehabilitation plans without clear standard...
