Injured peripheral nerves but not central nerves have the capacity to regenerate and
reinnervate their target organs. After the two most severe peripheral nerve injuries of six …

Enhancing the regeneration of axons is often considered to be a therapeutic target for
improving functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury. In this review, the evidence for …

Objective Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a rare but important neurosurgical emergency.
Despite being a recognized clinical entity since 1934, there remains significant uncertainty …

What constitutes cauda equina syndrome (CES), how it should be subclassified and how
urgently to image and operate on patients with CES are all matters of debate. A structured …

Injured peripheral nerves regenerate their axons in contrast to those in the central nervous
system. Yet, functional recovery after surgical repair is often disappointing. The basis for …

Poor functional outcomes are frequent after peripheral nerve injuries despite the
wellrecognized capacity for the Schwann cells (SCs) of the peripheral nervous system to …

Objective To assess the impact of delayed decompression on long-term neurological and
bladder function recovery in patients with cauda equina syndrome (CES) secondary to …

Fifty-six human and animal studies of cauda equina syndrome (CES) were reviewed. The
evidence from human studies was poor (level IV). Evidence from animal studies and limited …

Introduction: The rat tail exhibits functional impairment after cauda equina injury. Our goal
was to better understand the innervation and roles of muscles that control the tail. Methods …

Previous animal studies of cauda equina injury have primarily used rat models, which
display significant differences from humans. Furthermore, most studies have focused on …
