A review of therapeutic nerve decompression for neuropathy in Hansen's disease with research suggestions.

Abstract:

:Nerve decompression surgery for leprosy neuritis has a long history and large literature. New understanding of the high frequency of spontaneous recovery from nerve function impairment requires re-evaluation of the value of decompression in acute nerve dysfunction with strong evidence-based protocols. Several reports and theoretical considerations suggest research avenues that might offer hope for prevention of long-term complications and relief of impairment and disabilities.

  • Anatomic variations in branching patterns of the axillary artery: a multidetector-row computed tomography angiography study.

    abstract::Anatomic variations in branching pattern of axillary artery (AxA) are common and typically involve subscapular artery (SsA) and posterior circumflex humeral artery (PCHA). Several skin and muscle flaps are based on the branches of AxA. Furthermore, these branches are frequently used as recipient vessels in functioning...
