Lifesaving surgical approaches for severe penetrating knife injury to the neck.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Institute of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Madras Medical College, Chennai, India.
Background: Penetrating neck injuries are rare and require urgent surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. This report highlights a unique case involving complex surgical repair of tracheal, esophageal, and vascular injuries following a homicidal assault, emphasizing the challenges and techniques used in managing such severe trauma.
Case Presentation: A 45-year-old female presented with a severe penetrating neck injury after an alleged homicidal assault with a knife.
An optogenetic mouse model of hindlimb spasticity after spinal cord injury.
Exp Neurol

Brain and Mind Research Institute, Department of Biology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Electronic address:
Spasticity is a common comorbidity of spinal cord injury (SCI), disrupting motor function and resulting in significant discomfort. While elements of post-SCI spasticity can be assessed using pre-clinical SCI models, the robust measurement of spasticity severity can be difficult due to its periodic and spontaneous appearance. Electrical stimulation of sensory afferents can elicit spasticity-associated motor responses, such as spasms; however, placing surface electrodes on the hindlimbs of awake animals can induce stress or encumbrance that could influence the expression of behaviour.

Curr Gene Ther
January 2025
Neuroscience Center, Wuxi School of Medicine, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, 214122, PR China.
Background: Plasmalogens, the primary phospholipids in the brain, possess intrinsic antioxidant properties and are crucial components of the myelin sheath surrounding neuronal axons. While their neuroprotective effects have been demonstrated in Alzheimer's disease, their potential benefits in spinal cord injury remain unexplored. This study investigates the reparative effects of plasmalogens on spinal cord injury and the underlying mechanisms.

Radiol Med
January 2025
Neuromuscular Imaging Ordinationszentrum Döbling, Heiligenstädter Straße 46-48, 1190, Vienna, Austria.
Purpose: Thread release of the carpal tunnel is the most recent of several minimally invasive ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release techniques. The purpose of this article is to provide a step-by-step guide for minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided thread release of the carpal tunnel focused on transecting the transverse carpal ligament with minimal damage to the palmar aponeurosis on anatomical specimens.
Methods: Fifteen ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel thread releases were performed on the wrists of soft-embalmed anatomical specimens, which were dissected immediately after the intervention.
Little influence of the abandoned sac on seroma formation following laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of lateral inguinal hernia.
Surg Endosc
January 2025
Department of Surgery 1, General (Endoscopic) Surgery, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, 1-20-1 Handayama Chuouku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, 431-3192, Japan.
Background: The impact of completely reducing or transecting a hernia sac on seroma formation in laparoscopic surgery for lateral inguinal hernias remains debated. To date, no studies have compared the incidence of seroma in hernia sacs left untouched versus other surgical approaches. Abandoning the hernia sac involves avoiding manipulation of the inguinal canal, unlike the manipulation required for transection or reduction of the hernia sac.
