The central distribution of the anterior lateral line nerve (ramus) (NLLa) were studied in the pygmean sheat-fish (Ictalurus nebulosus) by means of the method of Nauta--Gygax. NLLa, as well as posterior lateral line nerve (NLLp), projects topographically on the nucleus medialis of the acoustic-lateral area. Within the nucleus medialis NLLa can be traces in the rostro-lateral parts. A majority of NLLa fibres can be followed ipsilaterally, although a definite contralateral contribution also exists. It is concluded that NLLa, representing the electro- and mechanoreceptors of the head region, distributes predominantly within the rostral part of the medial nucleus, while NLLp, representing the trunk receptors, distributes in the caudal half of the medial nucleus. There is some overlapping within the middle part of the nucleus.

NS1 binding protein regulates stress granule dynamics and clearance by inhibiting p62 ubiquitination.

Nat Commun

December 2024

Department of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology, College of Life Sciences and Nanotechnology, Hannam University, Daejeon, Korea.

The NS1 binding protein, known for interacting with the influenza A virus protein, is involved in RNA processing, cancer, and nerve cell growth regulation. However, its role in stress response independent of viral infections remains unclear. This study investigates NS1 binding protein's function in regulating stress granules during oxidative stress through interactions with GABARAP subfamily proteins.

Common fibular nerve (CFN) palsy is the most common mononeuropathy in the lower limb, and several etiologies are described. The CFN is the minor and lateral division of the sciatic nerve; it originates in the lumbar sacral division, and many risks of compression have been described: the behavior of crossing and squatting legs, extra and intraneural compressions, local trauma, and weight loss have been increasingly reported as important and noteworthy causes. The treatment is based on the severity of the nerve condition.

Diagnostic Techniques for Posterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome.

Cureus

November 2024

Integrated Clinical Education Center, Kyoto University Hospital, Kyoto, JPN.

This case report highlights the diagnostic process for posterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (POCNES) in an older adult female patient, with an emphasis on using video demonstrations to guide clinicians. POCNES should be diagnosed based on a combination of specific clinical features, including localized back pain accompanied by pinpoint tenderness lateral to the spinous process, cutaneous sensory abnormalities over the area of pain, severe pain response to pressure on the tender point, and normal clinical and imaging findings. This case demonstrates how these criteria were identified via a thorough physical examination captured on video to provide a visual guide for clinicians.
