[Intercostal nerve syndrome]
Abstract:
The intercostal nerve syndrome is caused by an impingement of the intercostals nerve at the level of the anterior rectus sheath. It may lead to acute or chronic abdominal pain, it should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of the acute or chronic abdomen. A positive Carnett-test and an effective local anaesthesia at the point of maximal tenderness allow the correct diagnosis. In our retrospective study 14 patients with 15 entrapment syndromes are described. If, sometimes after a few diagnostic and therapeutic detours, the diagnosis is established, surgical intervention with resection of the altered nerve at it's exit of the anterior rectus sheath can usually abolish the pain with little side effects.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
Primary Symptoms of COPD:
Spinal Nerves: Plexus II
The Lumbar Plexus
The lumbar plexus is situated within the lumbar region of the back and is primarily formed by the first four lumbar spinal nerves (L1 to L4). This plexus extends its branches into several nerves, including the...
