Peripheral nerve damage (PNI) can cause demyelination, axonal degeneration and loss of motor sensory function. Melatonin with its antioxidative effect, has been reported to reduce scar formation in injury, take a role repair process by suppressing fibroblast proliferation the damaged area. It was aimed investigate effect melatonin peripheral relationship between S100 proteins angiogenic regulat...

Is there a correlation between increased posterior-inferior tibial slope angle and noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury? Does increasing the posterior-inferior tibial slope angle increase the risk of bilateral ACL injury? A computerized relational database (Access 2007; Microsoft Inc, Redmond, Washington) was used to conduct a retrospective review of patients undergoing bilateral ...

Abstract Background Nerve injuries are debilitating, leading to long-term motor deficits. Remyelination and axonal growth supported enhanced by factor cytokines. Combination of nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) with adipose-tissue-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (AdMSCs) has been performing promising strategy for regeneration. Methods 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL)-NGCs were fabri...

PURPOSE The Overactive Bladder Innovative Therapy Trial during phase 1 was a randomized trial demonstrating comparable effectiveness of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation and extended-release tolterodine during 12 weeks of therapy for frequency, nocturia, urgency, voided volume and urge incontinence episodes. In this second phase of the Overactive Bladder Innovative Therapy Trial we assessed...

BACKGROUND Neurologic injuries are complications that can arise after total joint arthroplasty. However, no comprehensive study has been conducted on peripheral nerve injuries after total ankle arthroplasty. The purpose of the present study was to identify the prevalence of neurologic injury following primary total ankle arthroplasty, the predisposing factors, and evaluate the effect on clinica...

INTRODUCTION Peripheral nerve injuries are encountered frequently in clinical practice. In nerve repair, an end-to-end suture is the preferable choice of treatment. However, where primary closure is not possible, the defect is to be repaired with a nerve graft. METHODS A total of 21 female Wistar rats weighing 230 to 290 g were used in the study. They were classified into the following 3 grou...

OBJECTIVE Establishing reference values for neuroconduction studies regarding the peroneal, tibial and sural nerves in a group of young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Neuroconduction was tested (also known as nerve conduction velocity (NCV) tests) on 155 asymptomatic subjects' tibial, peroneal and sural nerves using current conventional techniques, after informed written consent had been obtai...

When functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) is used to restore the use of paralyzed limbs after a spinal cord injury or stroke, it may be possible to control the stimulation using feedback information relayed by natural sensors in the skin. In this study we tested the hypothesis that the force applied on glabrous skin can be extracted from the electroneurographic (ENG) signal recorded from ...
