Abstract
We investigated current severe TBI practices in Japan.
A questionnaire regarding management of severe TBI was sent to each of the 384 Japanese Neurosurgical Society specialist training medical centers and answers were received by mail from 233 centers (60.7%).
Of the...

Neurosurgery (66)5 2010
Abstract
Although aggregate discharges involving these injuries decreased slightly between 1993 and 2006, mean nominal hospital charges for their treatment increased significantly, in particular, for brachial plexus injuries. In 2006 30 to 40% of median, ulnar, and radial nerve injuries required acute repair...

Abstract
Four hundred thirty-four patients appear for postoperative FNL, providing 825 nerves at risk. Permanent RLNP occurred in 0.7%, temporary RLNP in 6.7%. RLNP rate was 6.4% at T1, 6.7% at T2, 4.8% at T3, 2.5% at T4, 0.8% at T5, and 0.7% at T6. Full recovery of vocal cord function was confirmed after re...

Abstract
We know now that certain groups of neurons, typically those that are more metabolically active, are more vulnerable to injury than others. Animal models of sleep apnea oxygenation patterns have been instrumental in elucidating mechanisms of injury. The hypoxia/reoxygenation events result in oxidativ...

Abstract
48 h after the total transection, the responses almost completely disappeared, and reappeared after 3 weeks. The latencies of the recovered responses were prolonged then but shortened thereafter. Meanwhile, the partial transection did not result in a total loss of AFNR, but in a decrease of the ampl...

Abstract
Abstract: Nerve regeneration and re-innervation are usually difficult after peripheral nerve injury. Epineurium neurorrhaphy to recover the nerve continuity was the traditional choice of peripheral nerve mutilation without nerve defects, whereas the functional recovery was not quite satisfactory. In...

Abstract
Patients receiving subtypes I and II of L-PANP surgery had less decrease in contraction of bladder than those receiving the same subtype of O-PANP surgery at 10 days post-operation (Z = -2.358, P = 0.018; Z = -2.268, P = 0.033). And no difference was observed in patients receiving subtype III PANP s...

Abstract
A physiologic- or biofidelic-based blast-induced tolerance curve may redefine current acceleration-based curves that are only valid to assess tertiary blast injury. Identification of additional pharmaceutical candidates will both confirm or deny current hypotheses on neural pathways of continued inj...

Abstract
The denervation-reinnervation view proposes that retrograde menstruation results from loss of normal, fundocervical polarity caused by injuries to uterine nerves. Injuries may be sporadic (following vaginal delivery) or recurrent (after persistent straining during defaecation) creating very differen...

Abstract
The soft tissue damage area around the screw insertion site was significantly greater in the mini-open compared with the percutaneous technique. MBN transection was observed in 84% (21/25) of the pedicles when using the mini-open technique and in 20% (5/25) when the percutaneous insertion technique...

Shoulder dislocation is a common injury. Delays in diagnosis remain the single biggest obstacle to optimum results in this group of patients. A significant proportion will require eventual surgery and up to a third of these patients will go on to develop long-term shoulder arthritis. Even patients w...

Warfare historically causes a large number of peripheral nerve injuries. During the current global war on terror, an increased use of advanced regional anesthesia techniques appears to have significantly reduced pain syndromes that have been previously reported with missile-induced nerve injuries.

A total of 127 patients fulfilling inclusion criteria were included in the study. The mean age of the study patients was 31+/-17.7, 77.2% (n=98) of them were male, 13.4% of the patients (n=17) had craniocervical junction pathologies. About 64.7% (n=11) of these pathologies were detected only by CT;...

Total stripping of the GSV in 69 limbs occurred because of pain (9%) or a tired feeling in the limbs (77%) or for cosmetic reasons (14%). The overall incidence of postoperative sensory neurologic deficits was 7 and 6%, respectively, after 6-week follow-up and both 3% after 3-month follow-up. In 99%...

Abstract
Much of the permanent damage that occurs in response to nervous system damage (trauma, infection, ischemia, etc.) is mediated by endogenous secondary processes that can contribute to cell death and tissue damage (excitotoxicity, oxidative damage and inflammation). For humans to evolve mechanisms to m...

We investigated the effect of direct gradual stretching on the proximal nerve stump morphologically. A 10-mm-long nerve segment was resected from the sciatic nerve of a rat. The end of the proximal nerve stump was fixed to a small ring and the marking suture was placed at a point 1 mm proximal to th...

The search identified 17 eligible series, totaling 1109 patients (538 stenting). Stenting was associated with a significant reduction in mortality (pooled odds ratio 0.36; 95% CI 0.228-0.578; P < .0001) and major neurological injury (pooled odds ratio 0.39; 95% CI 0.25-0.62; P = .0001). There was no...
