Background Leprosy (or Hansen's disease) continues to present considerable challenges regarding containment and early diagnosis. Leprosy is considered to be primarily a neural disease that first affects the sensory function of small fibres. Although the condition is well described in terms of clinical manifestations and histology, few studies have been undertaken to detect damage done to small-fibre sensory nerves. Read More

Median nerve swelling is one of the features of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and ultrasound measurement of maximum median nerve cross-sectional area is commonly used to diagnose CTS. We hypothesized that volume might be a more sensitive measure than cross-sectional area for CTS diagnosis. We therefore assessed the accuracy and reliability of 3-D volume measurements of the median nerve in human cadavers, comparing direct measurements with ultrasound images interpreted using deep learning algorithms.

It is well known that ageing and noise exposure are important causes of sensorineural hearing loss, and can result in damage of the outer hair cells or other structures of the inner ear, including synaptic damage to the auditory nerve (AN), i.e., cochlear synaptopathy (CS). Read More

Head positioning in carotid surgery represents an often overlooked but sensitive period in the surgical plan. A 53-year-old male presented a significant decrement in median nerve somatosensory evoked potential (mSEP) following head and neck positioning for carotid pseudoaneurysm repair before skin incision.Neurophysiological monitoring was performed with mSEP and electroencephalography early during the patient's preparation and surgery.
