The data collected in each patient included the patient's age, gender, size of tumor, pre- and postoperative hearing level, intraoperative findings (e.g., cochlear nerve structural and functional preservation, radicality of tumor resection, and injury to the labyrinth), and perioperative complications.
The data collected in each patient included the patient's age, gender, size of tumor, intraoperative findings (e.g., facial nerve structural and functional preservation and radicality of tumor resection), and postoperative complications (CSF leak, meningitis, vascular complications, headache, cranial nerve dysfunction, and altered vestibular compensation).
Knockouts in glycerone-phosphate O-acyltransferase (dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase, DHAPAT, E.C. 2.3.1.42) (A) display hypomyelination of central nerves, structural alterations in testis accompanied by male infertility and early postnatal bilateral cataractogenesis due to impaired lens organisation leading to blindness of aged animals [34 36].
The results showed that they are able to differentiate into myocytes, vascular, and Schwann cells in vivo, contributing to the coordinated reconstitution of muscle fibres, blood vessels (pericytes, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells), and peripheral nerves, with significant structural and functional recovery after transplantation [ 118].
Glaucoma is a chronic neuro-degenerative disorder of the optic nerve in which death of the retinal ganglion cells and loss of optic nerve axons result in structural and functional deficits.
In addition, hyperglycemia, and thus increased flux of glucose, causes intracellular activation of the polyol pathway (sorbitol metabolism) resulting in AGEs, which in turn interact with matrix proteins, leading to functional and structural nerve and neuroglia abnormalities.
These results substantiate previous suggestions that free nerve endings can exhibit both structural and functional specialization.
The Neuron Doctrine – which states that nerve cells are the fundamental structural and functional element of the nervous system – finally gained wide acceptance in the early 1890s, a full seven years after Freud's lecture.
Scans were analyzed for quality and successful capture of foveal, optic nerve, and retinal structural parameters and abnormalities.
Development of a registered optical coherence tomography and fluorescence microscopy system for studying structural and functional changes in nerves during activity.
Exclusion criteria for both groups included epilepsy, lifetime substance abuse, developmental delay, psychosis and head trauma with loss of consciousness, prior brain, spinal or peripheral nerve surgery and structural abnormalities on visual inspection of conventional T1-weighted magnetic resonance images.
