neuroma/hypoxia

Previous experiments indicate that after peripheral nerve lesion, two sites of spontaneous ectopic impulse generation rapidly develop: the peripheral neuroma and the region of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). In 30 adult Sprague-Dawley rats, microfilament recordings were made from either the dorsal

Evoked otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are assumed to reflect healthy outer hair cell function. Over the past few years, evoked OAEs have been shown to be useful as indicators of cochlear hearing loss. Because basic studies have shown that OAEs are extremely sensitive to cochlear anoxia and hypoxia, as

Prolonged (several days or repeated) exposure to nitrous oxide (N2O) can cause injury or death. To assess whether relatively prolonged anesthesia with N2O in normal patients might similarly cause untoward effects, we investigated whether the addition of N2O to isoflurane anesthesia caused injury to

1. The central end of the distally cut left carotid sinus nerve was sutured to the tunica media of the external carotid artery, 1 cm cranial to the carotid bifurcation, in nineteen rabbits. The carotid body was removed in fourteen of these rabbits but left in situ in the remaining five. After 56-165

Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2B is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and neuroma. Early signs of MEN 2B are usually neuroma, gastrointestinal problems, and medullary thyroid carcinoma. Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is rare as a

Neuroma-in-continuity was experimentally produced in cats by suturing the proximal stump of a transected hindlimb cutaneous nerve to the distal stump of the transected tibial nerve. Eleven to 20 months afterwards single non-myelinated fibres were identified by electrical recording from filaments of
