Sural

Picking up a forceps and scalpel, he told de Roon, “Hold down his legs,” and began probing for the sural nerve. ❋ Brad Thor (2010)

GUPTA: In a five-hour operation, surgeons take sural (ph) nerves from Bill and his mother. ❋ Unknown (2004)

The sural arteries (aa. surales; inferior muscular arteries) are two large branches, which are distributed to the Gastrocnemius, Soleus, and Plantaris. ❋ Unknown (1918)

In the lower third of the leg the small saphenous vein is in close relation with the sural nerve, in the upper two-thirds with the medial sural cutaneous nerve. ❋ Unknown (1918)

SB-509 treatment results in statistically significant increases in nerve fiber density, nerve regeneration and an improvement in approvable end-points such as Neuropathy Impairment Score of the Lower Limb (NIS-LL) and sural nerve conduction velocity (sNCV). ❋ Unknown (2011)

In the phase IIb study, SB-509 treatment failed to demonstrate statistically significant improvements from baseline compared with placebo at 180 days in two key measures of nerve regeneration and function -- sural nerve conduction velocity (sNCV) or neuropathy impairment score in the lower limb (NIS-LL).

The inclusion criteria for the Phase 2b trial are based upon our accumulated data and include baseline thresholds in measurement, in large sensory nerves as measured by sural nerve connection velocity or NCV in small sensory nerves by Intraepidermal Nerve Fiber Density or IENFD, IENDF and vascular disease severity of DN as measured by baseline ICAM-1 levels in the blood. ❋ Unknown (2010)

And then final question is regarding that, you said that it was hard to detect a statistical difference in sural nerve conduction velocity change. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The sural nerve is the first major nerve affected in DN and as this is a double blind study we do not expect to provide interim data and with our historic experience in accrual on to such trials estimate we will have data by the end of 2011. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The study has power to detect statistic significance for improvement in sural NCV. ❋ Unknown (2010)

(NIS-LL), a quantification of the neurologic exam, and sural nerve conduction velocity (sNCV). ❋ Unknown (2010)

NCV in the sural nerve measures the rate of transmission of an electrical signal along the major sensory nerve that runs along the top of the foot. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In summary, our randomized trial did not find a significant benefit from unilateral sural nerve grafting, using the state of the art technique in 2000: autologous sural grafts sewn with fine sutures. ❋ Unknown (2008)

UroToday. com - In 1999, Kim et al. from Baylor College of Medicine reported promising potency results from bilateral interposition of sural nerve grafts after bilateral non nerve sparing radical prostatectomy (RP). ❋ Unknown (2008)

In addition we observe trends for improvement in nerve conduction velocity in both the sensory nerve the sural nerve and the turbulent peroneal motor nerves. ❋ Unknown (2008)

However, we were not sure how to properly analyze the efficacy of a unilateral nerve sparing plus unilateral non-nerve sparing with and without a unilateral sural nerve graft. ❋ Unknown (2008)

sural shame about being homeless. you know? a saying that, go hungry if you must but never go homeless. ❋ Unknown (2010)
