Furthermore, the visual and optic nerve changes between the initial and final stages were assessed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Chemotherapy can have bad side effects: anemia, bleeding, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, hair loss, infection, loss of appetite, mouth discomfort, nausea and vomiting, and nerve changes.
Further research is needed about the relation and influence of the identified destructive and adaptive nerve changes on fracture healing.
This study shows for the first time that patients with IIN have retinal and optic nerve changes.
Our findings suggest that loss of peripheral nerve fibers is an intrinsic feature of PD and that peripheral nerve changes may reflect the two types of central alpha-synuclein-related PD pathology, namely neuronal death and axonal degeneration.
To examine phenotype progression over time, we tracked alterations in the plantaris nerve, as this distal nerve is a sensitive indicator of nerve changes in mouse models of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (Frei et al., 1999; our unpublished observations).
The mechanisms responsible for the pathophysiology of glaucoma are poorly understood, but early detection is very crucial because elevated IOP may cause optic nerve changes (cupping) that eventually lead to RGC death and glaucoma [ 15].
These optic nerve changes were reported in patients who experienced scintillation scotoma and photopsias mainly during paclitaxel infusion [ 18- 20].
Histological analysis of peroneal nerve changes associated with various modes of leg lengthening is absent, and this information is necessary for refinement of prophylaxis and preventative treatment protocols.
This study aimed to analyze bilateral corneal nerve changes in patients with HZO by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) and their correlation with corneal sensation as a measure of nerve function.
