A Review of Facial Nerve Anatomy Terence M. Myckatyn‚ M.D.1 and Susan E. Mackinnon‚ M.D.1 ABSTRACT An intimate knowledge of facial nerve anatomy is critical to avoid its inadvertent injury during rhytidectomy‚ parotidectomy‚ maxillofacial fracture reduction‚ and almost any surgery of the head and neck. Injury to the frontal and marginal mandibular branches of the facial nerve in particular can lead to obvious clinical deficits‚ and areas where these nerves are particularly susceptible to injury

Peripheral Nerve and Spinal Cord Problems Test Bank MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. The nurse assessing a 54-year-old female patient with newly diagnosed trigeminal neuralgia will ask the patient about a. visual problems caused by ptosis. b. triggers leading to facial discomfort. c. poor appetite caused by loss of taste. d. weakness on the affected side of the face. ANS: B The major clinical manifestation of trigeminal neuralgia is severe facial pain that is triggered by cutaneous stimulation of the nerve. Ptosis

Exercise 1: The effects of nerve stimulation A. Describe briefly what you have done for this section (maximum 100 words). Basically I am the volunteer. Two students handle the system while one student helps to spread the adequate electrode cream on the volunteer’s left wrist. The system is set to continuous‚ frequency is 1Hz‚ pulse duration at 200μs and pulse current at 10mA. The stimulator is switched off to disconnect the isolated stimulator terminals. The stimulus is then switched on and

Abstract Purpose: Transcutaneous Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TPTNS) using adhesive skin electrodes is not commonly used due to its low efficacy. Our objective was to verify whether the combination of TPTNS with low dose Trospium chloride in the treatment of females with overactive bladder (OAB) would be more effective than TPTNS alone after failure of behavioral therapy. Materials and Methods: We randomized 30 women with OAB‚ into two groups‚ 15 patients each: Group I received 30 minutes

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to examine how the compound action potentials propagate down the sciatic nerve of a frog based on varying stimuli. Before the nerve could be tested it needed to be extracted from the thigh of the frog and then submerged in saline. Several varying stimuli were used and recorded by a software package. The second experiment requires a constant stimulus with varying reference pin locations. From this the velocity of the action potential propagated can be
