Objective-To investigate whether "diseased nerves" are more prone to entrapment neuropathy than normal nerves. Nerve conduction studies of human neuropathies have shown that electrophysiological abnormalities are often most prominent at potential sites of nerve entrapment, and entrapments are more common in patients with radiculopathies-a concept designated as "double crush". As entrapment neur...

The purpose of this article is to review the anatomical features of the most common nerve entrapment sites of the brachial plexus and major peripheral nerves of the upper limb. In this account, the term "entrapment" is considered to be caused by compression, tension, or friction, or any combination of these factors. The anatomy, including important relationships of the brachial plexus, is revie...

To prepare lomustine-iohexol compound liposomes, and evaluate the properties, determine the entrapment efficiency. Liposomes were prepared by reverse evaporation method; orthogonal design was used to optimize the formulation. Free drugs and liposomes were separated using protamine aggregation method and entrapment efficiency was determined by HPLC. The optimal formula was as follows: soybean ph...

Flexor tendon entrapment after a pediatric forearm fracture is a rarely reported complication that is often diagnosed late. Flexor tendon entrapment is more frequently reported after distal forearm fractures, and possible etiologies include fibrosis secondary to hemorrhage at the fracture site and simple entrapment of the muscle belly.This article describes a case of ring finger flexor digitoru...

Metformin hydrochloride, a drug group of biguanides, with significant efficacy in the treatment of diabetes type II, is decomposed before reaching to the stomach and is wasted in great losses. In this study, the nanoliposomes of metformin hydrochloride were prepared with Bingham method. At first, the single factor test is done. Design variables are: lecithin to cholesterol ratio, organic solven...

BACKGROUND Prior research has validated the construct of a suicide crisis syndrome (SCS), a specific psychological state that precedes and may precipitate suicidal behavior. The feeling of entrapment is a central concept of the SCS as well as of several other recent models of suicide. However, its exact relationship with suicidality is not fully understood. In efforts to clarify the exact role ...

A novel bio nanocomposite of Carboxymethyl Starch (CMS)-Chitosan (CS)-Montmorillonite (MMT) was developed for Curcumin delivery. To improve Curcumin entrapment into Cs-CMS-MMT, different ratios of Chitosan (Cs), Carboxymethyl Starch (CMS) and MMT were used. Particle size and Curcumin entrapment efficiency (EE) were highly affected by different formulation variables. Polysaccharide concentration...

The purpose of this article is to provide information that facilitates the critical evaluation of the thoracic outlet syndrome and other nerve entrapment syndromes in the regions of the posterior cervical triangle and the shoulder. General comments regarding entrapment are followed by discussions of specific entrapment sites. Each discussion stresses the anatomic view and includes comments on c...
