“…Each cell produces a segment of myelin. The segments of myelin, or internodes, formed by this process are shorter than normal internodes [41–43]. Compared with regeneration, remyelination is a faster process and, in general, a more effective one.…”
SummaryPeripheral nerve injuries can occur at any time during the peri-operative period. The long-term disability that results may have serious consequences for a patient. The incidence of peri-operative nerve injuries can be reduced by anaesthetists being aware of their causes and pathophysiology. This review article aims to explain the incidence, pathophysiology and medicolegal implications of perioperative nerve injury and provides suggestions as to how they may best be avoided.

“…Furthermore, slowing of NCV by arsenic (Blom et al, 1985), carbon disulfide (Hirata et al, 1984), acrylamide (Fullerton, 1969), herbicides (2,4-D) (Singer et al, 1982) and triorthocresyl phosphate (Janz and Neundorfer, 1968) has been reported.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
