Background Cryoneurolysis of peripheral nerves uses localised intense cold to induce a
prolonged block over multiple weeks that has the promise of providing potent analgesia …

While excessive tensile strain can be detrimental to nerve function, strain can be a positive
regulator of neuronal outgrowth. We used an in vivo rat model of sciatic nerve strain to …

In this study, we evaluated the utility of using high-frequency ultrasound to non-invasively
track the degenerative process in a rat model of peripheral nerve injury. Primary analyses …

Muscle degeneration following rotator cuff tendon tearing is characterized by fatty infiltration
and fibrosis. While tools exist for the characterization of fat, the ability to noninvasively …

Numerous synthetic, hybrid, and biological grafts and conduits have been deployed to
facilitate axonal regeneration across peripheral nerve gaps. Though some strategies have …

In order to repair chronic nerve injuries (injuries repaired after a long delay), the damaged
nerve segments are resected and stumps are bridged by grafts. Autografts remain the gold …

Introduction Peripheral nerves accommodate mechanical loads during joint movement.
Hypothesized protective features include increased nerve compliance near joints and …

Background Peripheral nerve damage can have debilitating consequences. Rabbit sciatic
nerve transection models allow the effective evaluation of surgical repair strategies for large …

Introduction Rumination syndrome is an uncommon gastrointestinal functional disorder that
may be difficult to diagnose, as not many physicians are aware of this condition. In many …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Cells in degenerated discs show a decrease in cell number with
the low synthetic activity of matrix molecules. The injection of various growth factors, such as …
