OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS 1) To evaluate the efficacy of, and problems with, intratympanic gentamicin injection (ITG) in medically intractable definite Ménière's disease (MD) and secondary endolymphatic hydrops (EH); and 2) to review the vestibular status and treatment options of intractable vertigo even after ITG. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case review and survey. METHODS 780 patients with def...

Abstract Aim Chronic groin pain following a hernioplasty is complication with an incidence of 10–12%. A multidisciplinary approach, including management services, interventional radiology and surgery, has proven the best outcomes. Persistence symptoms lack efficacy non-surgical treatments make surgical treatment prosthetic removal neurectomies appropriate alternative. Material & Methods We ...

BACKGROUND In this study, the results of the partial lateral facetectomy of the patella to better patellofemoral motion and congruence are compared with the results of the osteophyte removal of the patella and neurectomy only in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Data from 55 patients undergoing TKA with osteophytes removal of the patella and neurectomy only, and those undergoing osteophy...

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) daily administration via the digestive tract on cortical bone loss. Due to structural and physiological properties, the study was executed on humerus model in turkey. The neurectomy of the radial and mediano-ulnar nerves was applied to induce osteopenic effect in the right humerus. The experiment was conducted...

Neurogenesis occurs in some regions of the adult mammalian brain and gives rise to neurons integrated into functional networks. In pathological or postlesional conditions, neurogenesis and astrogenesis can also occur, as demonstrated in the deafferented vestibular nuclei after unilateral vestibular neurectomy in the adult cat. Here we report that in cats infused with an antimitotic drug, cytosi...
