Various Sites of Supranuclear Facial Nerve Lesion: A Case Study | Chapter 7 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 11

 Facial nerve paralysis is a common clinical problem in which any facial nerve-innervated structure is paralysed. It is largely a motor system that regulates facial expressive muscles. It also contains sensory fibres that control salivation and aid in the transmission of taste sensations from the tongue's front two-thirds. Supranuclear, nuclear, and infranuclear facial nerve lesions are the three types. A multitude of events, including haemorrhage and infarction, can induce supranuclear facial nerve lesions.

A Case Report on Third Head of Biceps Femoris Muscle | Chapter 14 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 6

 Variants of the biceps femoris, such as an auxiliary head of the biceps femoris, can be encountered on occasion. During regular cadaveric dissection at the department of anatomy, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, we discovered a case with an accessory head of biceps femoris in both lower limbs.

The biceps femoris' long head fibres form the muscle belly, which runs down medially to the medial superior portion of the tibia's medial condyle. On the right side, the insertion point resembles a sheath and integrates halfway with the thigh's medial intermuscular septum. On the left side, the insertion seems to be a thin sheath at first, then a thin muscle belly. The muscle belly is slender in compared to the long and short heads of the basic muscle bellies. The left side has a thickness of roughly 3.7mm on the higher end and thinner on the lower end, whereas the right side has a thickness of around 3.75mm. The right side of the muscle belly is around 5cm long, whereas the left side is about 5.5cm long. After then, the muscular belly creates a sheath with a length of approximately.5mm before returning to its original length of around 3.5cm. A short head appears high above on the left side, whereas the right side is normal.

Detailed Study on the Effect of NeuroGen® Nerve Support Supplement on Pillar Pain after Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release | Chapter 14 | Current Topics in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 12

 Pillar pain after carpal tunnel surgery is one of the most common complications and has an incidence of 7 percent - 61 percent. In a prospective study, 61 patients with clinically diagnosed and electromyographically validated carpal tunnel syndrome were enrolled to determine the efficacy of a pillar pain nerve supplement following carpal tunnel surgery. Both patients underwent endoscopic release from the carpal tunnel. As part of their perioperative care, 15 of the patients also took the nerve support supplement NeuroGen®. Compared with the placebo group, the supplement group displayed a substantially lower level of pillar pain (VAS) at initial follow-up (1.13 and 4.05 respectively). Compared to just 9 percent (4/46) of the control group at first follow-up, 46 percent (7/15) of the supplement group were absolutely free of pillar pain. Compared to 35 percent (16/46) of the control group, 53 percent (8/15) of the NeuroGen® group did not need any pain medicine. The NeuroGen® nerve supplement greatly improves discomfort after carpal tunnel surgery. This reduction in pain leads to less needed post-operative treatment and an earlier return to activity. The efficacy of the supplement on nerve regeneration after surgical decompression will be tested by further research.
