While a digital arteriovenous anastomosis (Hoyer-Grosser's organ, Masson's glomus) is well-known structure, photographic evidence of communication between arterial and venous lumens might not be demonstrated in routine histological or immunohistochemical analysis. Abundant clusters so-called glomera were found semi-serial sections the distal aspect 14 fingers obtained from 7 donated elderly cad...

Five of 65 patients referred for electrodiagnosis because of clinical evidence of carpal tunnel syndrome were found to have near normal latency on proximal stimulation of the median nerve, although the distal motor latency was prolonged. In one patient, the proximal latency was actually shorter than the distal latency. The failure of the proximal latency to be prolonged in proportion to the dis...

PURPOSE Perineal transposition of the antropyloric valve following an anorectal excision as a substitute for a permanent colostomy has recently been reported in humans. However, the problem of neural control still remains in these patients. Our aim herein was to study the anatomical feasibility of an anastomosis between the pudendal nerve branches (inferior rectal nerve) innervating the externa...

The ability of the facial motor system to adapt to a new motor function was studied in alert cats after unilateral transection, 180 degrees rotation and suture of the zygomatic nerve, or transection and cross-anastomosis of the proximal stump of the buccal nerve to the distal stump of the zygomatic nerve. These procedures induced reinnervation of the orbicularis oculi (OO) muscle by different O...
