Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar Spinal Nerves for Dermatomal Pain: A Case Series.
Neuromodulation : journal of the International Neuromodulation Society, 2020Co-Authors: Ojas Mainkar, Harmandeep Singh, Akshat Gargya, Jane Lee, Ali Valimahomed, Amitabh GulatiAbstract:With the development of percutaneously inserted devices, peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been gaining attention within chronic pain literature as a less invasive neurostimulation alternative to Spinal column and dorsal root ganglion stimulation. A majority of current PNS literature focuses on targeting individual distal Nerves to treat individual peripheral mononeuropathies, limiting its applications. This article discusses our experience treating dermatomal pain with neurostimulation without needing to access the epidural space by targeting the proximal Spinal nerve with peripheral nerve stimulation under ultrasound-guidance. A temporary, percutaneous PNS was used to target the proximal Spinal nerve in 11 patients to treat various dermatomal pain syndromes in patients seen in an outpatient chronic pain clinic. Four patients received stimulation targeting the lumbar Spinal Nerves and seven patient received stimulation targeting the cervical or thoracic Spinal Nerves. The case series presents 11 cases of PNS of the proximal Spinal nerve. Seven patients, including a majority of the patients with lumbar radiculopathy, had analgesia during PNS. Four patients, all of whom targeted the cervical or thoracic Spinal Nerves, did not receive analgesia from PNS. PNS of the proximal Spinal nerve may be an effective modality to treat dermatomal pain in patients who are not candidates for other therapies that require access to the epidural space. This technique was used to successfully treat lumbar radiculopathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and complex regional pain syndrome. © 2020 International Neuromodulation Society.

The Spinal Nerves forming the brachial plexus in mole-rats (Spalax leucodon)
Veterinarni Medicina, 2018Co-Authors: A Aydin, Maira KaranAbstract:In this study, the brachial plexus in the mole-rat was investigated. Six adult mole-rats were used and the brachial plexus of each was dissected. It was found that the brachial plexus in the mole-rat was formed by the rami ventralis of C5. A single root was formed from a major part of the ramus ventralis of C5 and through the joining of the whole of the ramus ventralis of C6, C7, C8 and T1. Thus, in mole-rats, the Spinal Nerves forming the brachial plexus and the joining of these Spinal Nerves to each other differ from other rodents and mammals.

The Spinal Nerves that constitute the plexus lumbosacrales of the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)
Veterinarni Medicina, 2018Co-Authors: A AydinAbstract:This study was aimed at investigating the lumbosacral plexus of squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris ). Ten squirrels were used in this work. The animals were carefully dissected and the Spinal Nerves that constitute the lumbosacral plexus were examined. It was discovered that the lumbosacral plexus was formed by L6, L7, S1, S2 in nine animals and in the one remaining animal in addition to these branches rami ventralis of L4 and L5 were forming the plexus. The common root forming the last part of the lumbosacral plexus and giving branches dis - persing to the hind limb was formed by the rami ventralis of L6, L7, S1, S2. Thus, in squirrels, the Spinal Nerves forming the lumbosacral plexus and the joining of these Spinal Nerves to each other differs from other rodents and mammals.

The Spinal Nerves that constitute the brachial plexus in the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)
Veterinarni Medicina, 2018Co-Authors: A AydinAbstract:The brachial plexus in adult red squirrels (vulgaris) was found to be formed by the rami ventralis of C5, C6, C7, C8. A thin branch of C5 and C6 constituted the cranial trunk, and the caudal trunk was formed completely by the rami ventralis of C7 and C8. Thus, in squirrels, the Spinal Nerves which form the brachial plexus and the joining of these Spinal Nerves to each other differ from other rodents and mammals.

The Spinal Nerves that constitute the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupines (Hystrix cristata)
Veterinární Medicína, 2009Co-Authors: A Aydin, G. Dinc, S. YilmazAbstract:In this study, the Spinal Nerves that constitute the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupines (<I>Hystrix cristata</I>) were investigated. Four porcupines (two males and two females) were used in this work. Animals were appropriately dissected and the Spinal Nerves that constitute the plexus lumbosacrales were examined. It was found that the plexus lumbosacrales of the porcupines was formed by whole rami ventralis of L1, L2, L3, L4, S1 and a fine branch from T15 and S2. The rami ventralis of T15 and S2 were divided into two branches. The caudal branch of T15 and cranial branch of S2 contributed to the plexus lumbosacrales. At the last part of the plexus lumbosacrales, a thick branch was formed by contributions from the whole of L4 and S1, and a branch from each of L3 and S2. This root gives rise to the nerve branches which are disseminated to the posterior legs (caudal gluteal nerve, caudal cutaneous femoral nerve, ischiadic nerve). Thus, the origins of Spinal Nerves that constitute the plexus lumbosacrales of porcupine differ from rodantia and other mammals.

three dimensional reconstruction of the cranial and anterior Spinal Nerves in early tadpoles of xenopus laevis pipidae anura
The Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2018Co-Authors: Benjamin Naumann, Lennart OlssonAbstract:Xenopus laevis is one of the most widely used model organism in neurobiology. It is therefore surprising, that no detailed and complete description of the cranial Nerves exists for this species. Using classical histological sectioning in combination with fluorescent whole mount antibody staining and micro-computed tomography we prepared a detailed innervation map and a freely-rotatable three-dimensional (3D) model of the cranial Nerves and anterior-most Spinal Nerves of early X. laevis tadpoles. Our results confirm earlier descriptions of the pre-otic cranial Nerves and present the first detailed description of the post-otic cranial Nerves. Tracing the innervation, we found two previously undescribed head muscles (the processo-articularis and diaphragmatico-branchialis muscles) in X. laevis. Data on the cranial nerve morphology of tadpoles are scarce, and only one other species (Discoglossus pictus) has been described in great detail. A comparison of Xenopus and Discoglossus reveals a relatively conserved pattern of the post-otic and a more variable morphology of the pre-otic cranial Nerves. Furthermore, the innervation map and the 3D models presented here can serve as an easily accessible basis to identify alterations of the innervation produced by experimental studies such as genetic gain- and loss of function experiments.
