Peripheral nerve damage is a significant clinical problem with limited therapeutic options. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have emerged as promising approach due to their regenerative potential. However, the underlying mechanisms by which ADSCs promote peripheral regeneration remain unclear. In this study, we investigated role of syndecan-1 and heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70) in mediating effects on nerves. were characterized isolated from adipose tissue rats. vitro...

Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is second most frequent entrapment and considered idiopathic in patients. However, several anatomic variations, including anconeus epitrochlearis muscle, have been reported to cause ulnar nerve compression. The muscle a common variation, with prevalence of up 34%, but clinical diagnosis as result this variation rare, an unknown prevalence. It congenital accessory between medial humeral epicondyle olecranon that covers posterior aspect cubital tunnel usually...

Retrosternal displacement of the medial clavicular metaphysis after a physeal fracture is rare and potentially fatal injury because possible damage neurovascular structures, trachea oesophagus. As epiphysis does not ossify until 18-20 years age physis last to close, around 22-25 age, this difficult demonstrate with plain radiographs in younger patients often mistaken for sternoclavicular joint dislocation. We report on 16-year-old boy retrosternal that was diagnosed MRI, discuss diagnostic...

Renal osteodystrophy is one of the major causes morbidity in patients receiving long-term dialysis treatment for renal failure and after transplantation. Its clinical implications include high-turnover bone disease, low-turnover osteomalacia, osteosclerosis, osteoporosis. A 13-year-old boy who had been on was admitted with a pathologic supracondylar femur fracture minor trauma. Radiological studies showed cystic lesions femoral supracondyle, left acetabular roof, right proximal distal tibia....

Purpose: To evaluate the neuroprotective effects of Rilmenidine on diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in a rat model diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Methods: STZ (60 mg/kg) was administered to adult Sprague-Dawley rats induce diabetes. On 30th day after administration, electromyography (EMG) and motor function tests confirmed presence DPN. Group 1: Control (n = 10), 2: DM + 0.1 mg/kg 3: 0.2 10) were via oral lavage for four weeks. EMG, test, biochemical analysis, histological...

A simple, inexpensive technique for fixation of proximal opening-wedge osteotomy the first metatarsal correction moderate or severe hallux valgus (HV) is described. After and bone grafting have been performed, 2 Kirschner wires are introduced internal removed 8 weeks postoperatively. Twenty-three patients with symptomatic HV who had a medial in combination distal soft tissue procedure bunionectomy were evaluated retrospectively. All osteotomies healed without complications satisfaction was...

Background: We tried to determine whether the indication of Achilles tenotomy (AT) in clubfoot patients based on clinical evaluation could be confirmed radiographically, and find an objective radiographic cut-off value for its indication. Methods: Eighty-six clubfeet from 60 patients, (26 bilateral 34 unilateral) were included. A standard Ponseti treatment regimen was applied. Group 1 comprised who underwent AT immediately after serial plaster casting feet). 2 during follow-up period (48 3...

Amaç: Hem eklem dışı hem de kısmi içi distal radius kırıklarının tedavisinde kapalı redüksiyon ve perkütan çivilemenin kullanılması, etkili sonuçlar veren, minimal invaziv uygun maliyetli bir seçenektir.Bu çalışma yetişkin hastalarda radyolojik sonuçları değerlendirmeyi, başlangıçtaki redüksiyonun zaman içinde korunup korunmadığını belirlemeyi kaybını etkileyebilecek demografik risk faktörlerini tanımlamayı amaçladı

ABSTRACT Bacground/Aims: Hand trauma is common in emergency departments, with approximately 20% of regional traumas involving hand injuries. Extensor tendon lacerations, often caused by sharp objects, are frequently encountered but may be overlooked, leading to significant morbidity. This study aims retrospectively review cases extensor lacerations the upper extremities highlight importance thorough evaluation and management department. Methods: A single-center retrospective included 114...

Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS), resulting from compression of the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) within tarsal tunnel, is a relatively uncommon entrapment neuropathy. Many cases are idiopathic; however, some causes, including space-occupying lesions, may lead to occurrence TTS symptoms. Schwannoma, most common tumor sheath peripheral nerves, among these and cause when it arises mimic even located outside significant delay in diagnosis. The possibility an occult lesion compressing PTN should be...
