This review focuses on the critical role of MR neurography (MRN) in diagnosing and managing peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs). It emphasizes the ability of imaging to differentiate injuries that may heal spontaneously from those requiring surgery, using classification systems like Neuropathy Score Reporting and Data System with imaging findings corresponding to established electrodiagnostic grading systems. MRN also evaluates skeletal muscle denervation and is useful for differentiating pre-ganglionic from post-ganglionic traumatic injuries. MRN is an integral component of optimizing care for patients with PNI.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide and is often treated with surgery. Post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) can have disabling consequences. The incidence of PMPS ranges from 20% to 68%.

Background: Eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and Bulimia Nervosa (BN) were previously found to partly entail alterations in stress physiology including salivary cortisol (sC), and salivary alpha amylase (sAA) at rest and basal vagal tone (HF-HRV), compared to individuals without mental disorders or with mixed mental disorders (anxiety and depressive disorders), but corresponding data remain scarce and are not entirely consistent.
Method: HF-HRV, sC and sAA at rest were assessed in a female sample of 58 individuals with AN and 54 individuals with BN before and after psychotherapy and contrasted against measurements from 59 female individuals suffering from mixed disorders and 101female healthy controls.
Results: Values for sC were elevated in AN compared to all other groups, those for HF-HRV were highest in both AN and BN and lowest in mixed mental disorders and no differences were found at rest for sAA.

The costoclavicular brachial plexus block has gained relevance as a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique for upper limb orthopedic surgery in adults, but data in pediatric populations remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of phrenic nerve palsy associated with CBPB in pediatric patients. We conducted a descriptive observational study in 30 children undergoing upper limb orthopedic surgery.

Conductive nanocomposite hydrogels (CNHs) represent a promising tool in neural tissue engineering, offering tailored electroactive microenvironments to address the complex challenges of neural repair. This systematic scoping review, conducted in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines, synthesizes recent advancements in CNH design, functionality, and therapeutic efficacy for central and peripheral nervous system (CNS and PNS) applications. The analysis of 125 studies reveals a growing emphasis on multifunctional materials, with carbon-based nanomaterials (CNTs, graphene derivatives; 36.

Background A cold-sensitivity constitution (CSC), termed "Hiesho" in Japanese, is a common condition among young women that impairs quality of life through reduced peripheral circulation and autonomic imbalance. In our previous study, we reported that cold intolerance is associated with an imbalance in autonomic nervous function, as evaluated by heart rate variability (HRV). Conversely, footbathing increases parasympathetic nervous activity (PNA) and increases both peripheral blood flow and epidermal temperature.
