Composite Anatomical Variations between the Sciatic Nerve and the Piriformis Muscle: A Nepalese Cadaveric Study by Ameet Kumar Jha, Prakash Baral

“…Knowledge pertaining to such variations will be helpful during a surgical intervention in the gluteal region and in turn reduces the risk of injuring these nerves which are more susceptible to damage. Our study reports such variations in Nepalese population which will be helpful during evaluation of the pain induction in various test positions and also useful for analysis of the range of the neurological deficiency in sciatic nerve neuropathies. …”

Ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter during laparoscopic surgeries in pediatric patients: An observational study by Swarup Ray, Uditi Parmar, Raylene Dias, Vishal Saxen, Fatema Mujpurwala, K A Anu

“…Background and Aims: Laparoscopic surgery involves creation of carbondioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum leading to a rise in intracranial pressure (ICP), which can cause expansion of optic nerve sheath diameter(ONSD).We aimed to study the magnitude of changes in ONSD occurring during pediatric laparoscopic surgery and correlate them with changes in end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2), intrabdominal pressure (IAP), and a change in patient position (P). …”

Forskolin-containing conditioned medium induces neural differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells: An in vitro experimental study by LIU Xuling, HU Yinghan, SUN Jiayue, ZHU Zeyu, LU Jiayu

“…[Results:] The optimal concentration of forskolin in neural-induced conditional medium was 10 μmol/L, and the cells induced by neural-induced conditional medium containing 10 μmol/L forskolin could rapidly induce ASCs to differentiate in the direction of nerve formation. After induction, the cell morphology was similar to nerve cells. …”
