Compression of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus by a cervical rib in two adolescent girls: case reports and surgical treatment (2009)

Dahlin, Lars B, Backman, Clas, Düppe, Henrik, Saito, Harukazu, Chemnitz, Anette, Abul-Kasim, Kasim, ...

Abstract Presence of a cervical rib in children is extremely rare, particularly when symptoms of compression of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus occur. We present two cases with such a...

Expression of ATF3 and axonal outgrowth are impaired after delayed nerve repair (2008)

Saito, Harukazu, Dahlin, Lars B

Abstract Background A delay in surgical nerve repair results in impaired nerve function in humans, but mechanisms behind the weakened nerve regeneration are not known. Activating transcription factor...

Cost per case or total cost? The potential of prevention of hand injuries in young children – Retrospective and prospective studies (2008)

Ljungberg, Elinor M, Carlsson, Katarina, Dahlin, Lars B

Abstract Background Health-care costs for hand and forearm injuries in young children are poorly documented. We examined costs in 533 children injured years 1996–2003. Methods Health-care costs and...

Incidence of early posterior shoulder dislocation in brachial plexus birth palsy (2007)

Dahlin, Lars B, Erichs, Kristina, Andersson, Charlotte, Thornqvist, Catharina, Backman, Clas, Düppe, Henrik, ...

Abstract Background Posterior dislocation of the shoulder in brachial plexus birth palsy during the first year of life is rare but the incidence increases with age. The aim was to calculate the...

End-to-side nerve repair in the upper extremity of rat. (2005)

Bontioti, Eleana, Kanje, Martin, Lundborg, Göran, Dahlin, Lars B

The end-to-side nerve-repair technique, i.e., when the distal end of an injured nerve is attached end-to-side to an intact nerve trunk in an attempt to attract nerve fibers by collateral sprouting,...

Local effects on triiodothyronine-treated polyglactin sutures on regeneration across peripheral nerve defects. (2004)

Scherman, Peter, Kanje, Martin, Dahlin, Lars B

We have previously described a new and simple method for nerve repair in which continuous longitudinal polyglactin sutures alone are used to bridge limited nerve defects in rats. Here we examined...

Bridging short nerve defects by direct repair under tension, nerve grafts or longitudinal sutures. (2004)

Scherman, Peter, Kanje, Martin, Dahlin, Lars B

Purpose: To compare the longitudinal suture model for bridging nerve defects with direct approximation under tension or with autologuos nerve grafting. Methods: Seven mm nerve defects in the rat...

Galanin expression in sensory neurons after nerve compression or transection. (2003)

Dahlin, Lars B, Stenberg, Lena, Kanje, Martin

Galanin is probably involved in nociceptive sensory processing in spinal cord. We investigated whether a common injury, peripheral nerve compression, induced up-regulation of galanin...

Regeneration and functional recovery in the upper extremity of rats after various types of nerve injuries. (2003)

Bontioti, Eleana N, Kanje, Martin, Dahlin, Lars B

The aim was to establish an accurate, reproducible, and simple method to evaluate functional recovery after different types of nerve injuries to the brachial plexus of rats. To that end, pawprints,...

Effects of FK506 on regeneration and macrophages in injured rat sciatic nerve. (2003)

Kvist, Martin, Danielsen, Nils, Dahlin, Lars B

Effects of FK506 [5.0 mg/kg body weight (BW), subcutaneous, daily] on nerve regeneration and presence of macrophages in lesioned rat sciatic nerves were studied. Models of autologous nerve graft or a...

Compression of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus by a cervical rib in two adolescent girls: case reports and surgical treatment

Dahlin, Lars B, Backman, Clas, Düppe, Henrik, Saito, Harukazu, Chemnitz, Anette, Abul-Kasim, Kasim, ...

Presence of a cervical rib in children is extremely rare, particularly when symptoms of compression of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus occur. We present two cases with such a condition, where...
