Anatomical feasibility study of the infraspinatus muscle neurotization by lower subscapular nerve.

Objectives: To investigate the anatomical feasibility of the infraspinatus branch of the suprascapular nerve (IB-SSN) reconstruction by lower subscapular nerve (LSN) transfer.

Methods: The morphological study was performed on 18 adult human cadavers. The length of the distal stump of the IB-SSN, the length of the LSN available for reconstruction and diameter of both stumps were measured.

A synthesis of [ C]formamidine acetate.

The one-step synthesis of [ C]formamidine acetate from [ C]barium cyanamide is described with product characterization by TLC and proton NMR.

Balanced Cantilever Graft for Supporting the Cartilaginous Side Wall of Nose.

Background: Many locations for the nasal valve have been suggested, and more recently the concept of the flow-limiting segment was introduced. Rather than being controlled by an internal and external valve, flow through the nose is regulated by the cartilaginous side wall, septum, and inferior turbinate.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the balanced cantilever graft (BCLG) as a technique to support the lateral nasal wall.

Tritium labelling of two potent dopamine D receptor agonists at high specific activity.

An efficient method is described to radiolabel several dopamine D receptor agonists with tritium at high specific activity.

Anatomical aspects of the selective infraspinatus muscle neurotization by spinal accessory nerve.

The suprascapular nerve (SSN) is commonly reconstructed by spinal accessory nerve (SAN) transfer. However, reinnervation of its branch to the infraspinatus muscle (IB-SSN) is poor. Reconstruction of the SSN in cases of scapular fractures is frequently neglected in clinical practice.
