Summary
G. Carl Huber pioneered peripheral nerve surgery, confirming axon regeneration and establishing nerve repair techniques. This review highlights his foundational contributions to peripheral nerve injury (PNI) treatment.
Area of Science:
- Anatomy
- Neurosurgery
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) treatment was historically unclear and contested.
- Anatomist G. Carl Huber made significant, yet often overlooked, contributions to the field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To increase awareness of G. Carl Huber's foundational role in peripheral nerve surgery.
- To highlight his groundbreaking research and mentorship in PNI.
Main Methods:
- Historical review of G. Carl Huber's anatomical and surgical research.
- Analysis of his contributions to understanding axon regeneration and nerve repair.
Main Results:
- Confirmed axon regeneration from the proximal stump.
- Established the utility of primary and secondary nerve repair for PNI.
- Mentored key figures in the next generation of PNI researchers.
Conclusions:
- G. Carl Huber's work was pivotal in advancing peripheral nerve surgery.
- His foundational contributions deserve greater recognition in the history of PNI.

2.9K
Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

01:27Otto and Diesel Cycle
1.2K
An Otto engine is a four-stroke engine that uses a mixture of gasoline and air as the working fuel. The fuel is injected into the cylinder, and the piston is moved completely down so that the cylinder is at maximum volume. By moving the piston up, adiabatic compression takes place. The spark plug ignites the gasoline-air mixture, and the burning fuel adds heat to the system at a constant volume. The heated mixture expands adiabatically and gets further cooled by exhausting heat, and this cyclic...

To determine the electron configuration for any particular atom, we can build the structures in the order of atomic numbers. Beginning with hydrogen, and continuing across the periods of the periodic table, we add one proton at a time to the nucleus and one electron to the proper subshell until we have described the electron configurations of all the elements. This procedure is called the aufbau principle, from the German word aufbau (“to build up”). Each added electron occupies the...

There are two ways to determine the amount of heat involved in a chemical change: measure it experimentally, or calculate it from other experimentally determined enthalpy changes. Some reactions are difficult, if not impossible, to investigate and make accurate measurements for experimentally. And even when a reaction is not hard to perform or measure, it is convenient to be able to determine the heat involved in a reaction without having to perform an experiment.

Transdifferentiation, also known as lineage reprogramming, was first discovered by Selman and Kafatos in 1974 in silkmoths. They observed that the moths’ cuticle-producing cells transformed into salt-producing cells. Many such cases of natural transdifferentiation occur in organisms. In humans, pancreatic alpha cells can become beta cells. In newts, the loss of the eye’s lens causes the pigmented epithelial cells to transdifferentiate into the lens cells.
