Peripheral Nervous System: Ganglia and Nerves01:24

Peripheral Nervous System: Ganglia and Nerves

5.3K
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is a crucial component of the body's neural network, extending beyond the central nervous system (CNS) to bridge the gap between the CNS and the external environment. It encompasses nerves, ganglia, and sensory receptors.
Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...

Measurement is an indispensable part of analytical chemistry. The result of measurement helps quantify a substance's physical property and compare it with the physical property of another substance. Each measurement comprises two components - a number indicating the magnitude and a unit of measurement as a standard for comparison. Further, the same quantity can be measured using different units of measurement, which leads to differences in magnitude.
A standard set of units has been defined...

Nerve Supply of the GI Tract01:27

Nerve Supply of the GI Tract

3.4K
The neuronal supply to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is essential for regulating various functions, including digestion, absorption, and movement of food. This intricate network of nerves is known as the enteric nervous system (ENS), often referred to as the "second brain" of the body.
The enteric nervous system consists of two major plexuses: the myenteric plexus (Auerbach's plexus) and the submucosal plexus (Meissner's plexus). These plexuses are located within the layers of...

Spinal Nerves: Plexus II

2.2K
The plexuses of the lower body include the lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses, which innervate the abdomen, pelvis, legs, and coccygeal region. These plexuses control the transmission of sensory information and coordinate motor functions of the lower body.
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...

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

343
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

4.3K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Area of Science:

  • Traumatology
  • Epidemiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Traumatic peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) result from fractures and soft tissue damage, leading to significant motor and sensory deficits.
  • Limited epidemiological data exists for PNI in Germany, hindering targeted public health interventions.
  • PNI can cause debilitating long-term consequences for affected individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the national incidence of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) in Germany.
  • To analyze PNI epidemiology stratified by gender, age, and anatomical region.
  • To provide a baseline for future research and clinical management of PNI.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective, population-based cohort study utilizing registry data from 2019-2023.
  • Analysis of anonymized patient data for traumatic peripheral nerve injuries (PNI).
  • Calculation of PNI incidence per 100,000 individuals, stratified by demographics and anatomical location, compared to the German reference population.

Main Results:

  • The national incidence of peripheral nerve injury (PNI) as a concomitant trauma diagnosis in Germany is 11.27 per 100,000 population.
  • Males exhibit a higher incidence of PNI (2.17:1 ratio compared to females).
  • The forearm, wrist, and hand are the most frequently affected anatomical regions, with 55.83% of injuries occurring in individuals aged 18-49. Bone fractures account for 22.88% of PNI.

Conclusions:

  • A national mean incidence for traumatic peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) in Germany was established at 11.27 per 100,000 population.
  • The findings highlight demographic and regional patterns of PNI, crucial for understanding injury burden.
  • This study provides essential epidemiological data for addressing traumatic peripheral nerve injuries in Germany.
