Theorists have pointed to the contribution of neurological system to the performance of the athletes of different sports due to the requirement of different motor actions (Payne & Morrow, 1993). The findings of nerve conduction velocity may give explanations for poor performance of the athletes due to poor muscle coordination and/or weakness of muscle actions (Wilbourn, 1990). It is more meanin...

The commonest cause of radial nerve dysfunction is from extrinsic compressions of the radial nerve, such as against the shaft of the humerus in “Saturday night palsy”. However, this chapter focuses on the less common intrinsic compression neuropathies of the radial nerve. Intrinsic radial nerve compression neuropathies occur much less frequently than those of the median or ulnar nerves. The com...

introduction: diabetic polyneuropathy is one of the most common and important complications of diabetes mellitus for its clinical ranking. several clinical categorising scoring systems have been designated. among them only toronto clinical scoring system (tcss) had been partially evaluated on the basis of pathologic findings in sural nerve biopsy. only the mild cases had been studied since the ...

Neurolymphomatosis is a rare manifestation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by infiltration of peripheral nerves, nerve roots, plexus and cranial nerves by malignant lymphocytes. This report presents positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)imaging with 2-deoxy-2-18F-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) in 3 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with nerve infiltration, including one newly d...

there are extensive evidences that show axonal processes of the nervous system (peripheral and/or central) may be degenerated after nerve injuries. wallerian degeneration and chromatolysis are the most conspicuous phenomena that occur in response to injuries. in this research, the effects of post-operative time following sciatic nerve crush on the number of spinal motoneurons were investigated....

The superficial branch of the radial nerve is highly vulnerable to trauma, irritation and compression due to its anatomical location. Intraneural lipomas and fibrolipomas arising from the supporting tissues of this peripheral nerve can cause compression of the adjacent nerve leading to symptoms of neuritis of the radial nerve or Wartenberg syndrome.
