Disease relevance of Neuroma

 

Psychiatry related information on Neuroma

  • The results suggest that the presence of a phantom limb, whether painful or painless, is related to the sympathetic-efferent outflow of cutaneous vasoconstrictor fibres in the stump and stump neuromas [6].
 

High impact information on Neuroma

  • Disruption of Schwann cells in response to nerve lesion resulted in infiltration of CCR2-positive monocytes/macrophages not only to the neuroma but also to the DRG [7].
  • The results achieved in a rodent model of sciatic nerve neuroma formation showed that there was a positive correlation between macroscopic and microscopic observations, and that melatonin enhanced axonal regeneration presumably due to its inhibitory effect on neuroma formation [8].
  • Similar results were obtained after topical application of lidocaine to the nerve trunk to block abnormal discharges originating in the neuroma in CSNT rats [9].
  • In recordings at approximately 22 days, a similar proportion of fibres were mechanosensitive in wild-type and Nav1.8 null neuromas (51 and 46%, respectively) [10].
  • MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen patients with clinically suspected Morton neuroma underwent examination with conventional T1- and T2-weighted MR imaging and a combination of fat suppression and administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Neuroma

 

Biological context of Neuroma

  • The results of our study suggest that TNF-alpha and IL-1 may play a role in frustrating functional nerve regeneration after injury by stimulating these two kinases, which, in turn, leads to fibroblast proliferation and formation of neuromas [16].
  • Ankyrin G, a multifunctional transmembrane protein of the axolemma, might be a key protein in neuroma formation because it binds Na+ channels in the initial segments of a regenerating axon and links with neuronal cell adhesion molecules [17].
  • Milliwatt CO2 laser application to the proximal stump did not affect the size or histology of resultant neuroma formation regardless of the method of transection [18].
  • CGRP accumulates in a time-related fashion within experimental neuromas, where it induces among other possible actions prominent local vasodilatation [19].
