AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Femoral neuropathy has been reported to occur after abdominal hysterectomies and has been related to nerve compression by abdominal wound retractors. We report a case of a 35-year-old woman with infertility who developed unilateral femoral nerve palsy after laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. This rare complication, secondary to extreme flexion, abduction and lateral rotation of the hip joint, can be prevented by careful preoperative patient positioning.

Mutations in connexin 32 (Cx32) are a common cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1X (CMT1X) disease, an inherited peripheral neuropathy characterized by progressive neuromuscular weakness and demyelination. There are no approved pharmacologic therapies for CMT1X, and identifying new treatments that slow the onset and severity of neuromuscular decline may aid disease management. Cemdomespib is an orally bioavailable small molecule that improved demyelination and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) morphology in mice lacking Cx32 expression.

Background Femoral neuropathy is a significant postoperative complication in gynecological surgery that can severely impact patient mobility and quality of life. Among various mechanisms of nerve injury, retractor-induced compression against the pelvic sidewall has been identified as a particularly crucial causative factor. Despite this well-recognized mechanism and its clinical importance, few studies have investigated specific preventive strategies for this iatrogenic complication.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes, often accompanied by impaired vascular endothelial function in the lower limbs. This dysfunction is characterized by a reduced vasodilatory response, leading to decreased blood flow in the lower limbs and ultimately contributing to the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. To delve deeper into this pathological process, the study employed bioinformatics to identify and analyze genes highly active in DPN.
