Revealing digital nerve lesions-A comprehensive analysis of 2084 cases of a specialized center.

Background: Finger nerve injuries have a significant impact on hand function and can result in reduced sensation, pain and impaired coordination. The socioeconomic implications of these injuries include decreased workplace productivity, reduced earning potential, and financial burdens associated with long-term medical treatment and rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of comprehensive literature regarding the incidence, mechanisms, and associated injuries of finger nerve lesions.

Improving outcomes in traumatic peripheral nerve injuries to the upper extremity.

Peripheral nerve lesions of the upper extremity are common and are associated with devastating limitations for the patient. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of the lesion by electroneurography, neurosonography, or even MR neurography is important for treatment planning. There are different therapeutic approaches, which may show individual differences depending on the injured nerve.

Mechanisms, interventions at risk and clinical presentation of iatrogenic nerve lesions in trauma patients.

Background: Iatrogenic nerve lesions during surgical interventions are avoidable complications that may cause severe functional impairment. Hereby, awareness of physicians and knowledge of structures and interventions at risk is of utmost importance for prevention. As current literature is scarce, we evaluated all patients treated surgically due to peripheral nerve injuries in our specialized nerve center for the presence of iatrogenic nerve lesions.

Peripheral nerve injuries in children-prevalence, mechanisms and concomitant injuries: a major trauma center's experience.

Background: Peripheral nerve injuries are severe conditions with potential lifelong impairment, which is especially meaningful for the pediatric population. Knowledge on prevalence, injury mechanisms and concomitant injuries is, therefore, of utmost importance to increase clinician awareness and enable early diagnosis and treatment. As current literature on pediatric nerve lesions and concomitant injuries is scarce, we aimed to analyze all details of our patient population.

An Epidemiological and Etiological Analysis of 5026 Peripheral Nerve Lesions from a European Level I Trauma Center.

Background: Peripheral nerve lesions are associated with debilitating long-term consequences. Albeit being essential for evidence-based clinical decision making, epidemiological and etiological data are scarce. We therefore aimed to comprehensively analyze epidemiological and etiological factors of peripheral nerve lesions in one of the largest cohorts.

Sensor-Based Nerve Compression Measurement: A Scoping Review of Current Concepts and a Preclinical Evaluation of Commercial Microsensors.

Chronic nerve compression is the most common indication for nerve surgery. However, the clinical diagnosis still relies on surrogate parameters since devices for direct nerve compression pressure measurement (DNCPM) are clinically unavailable yet. To review previous approaches to DNCPM and evaluate presently available microsensor systems for their feasibility and reliability in preclinical nerve compression models.

Electrically evoked compound action potentials are different depending on the site of cochlear stimulation.

One of the many parameters that can affect cochlear implant (CI) users' performance is the site of presentation of electrical stimulation, from the CI, to the auditory nerve. Evoked compound action potential (ECAP) measurements are commonly used to verify nerve function by stimulating one electrode contact in the cochlea and recording the resulting action potentials on the other contacts of the electrode array. The present study aimed to determine if the ECAP amplitude differs between the apical, middle, and basal region of the cochlea, if double peak potentials were more likely in the apex than the basal region of the cochlea, and if there were differences in the ECAP threshold and recovery function across the cochlea.

Patient management for cochlear implant recipients in audiology departments: A practice review.

Objectives: To determine and evaluate the time clinics needed to complete the sub-processes involved in the first-fitting and follow-up fitting of people with a cochlear implant.

Methods: Eight HEARRING clinics completed a questionnaire recording how long it took to complete the sub-processes involved in first-fitting and follow-up fitting cochlear implant recipients. The mean times of clinics and procedures were then compared.
