Improving axonal outgrowth and remyelination is crucial for peripheral nerve regeneration. Miconazole appears to enhance remyelination in the central nervous system. In this study we assess the effect of miconazole on axonal regeneration using a sciatic nerve crush injury model in rats. ⋯ Miconazole was beneficial for nerve regeneration and functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury.

Reported sonographic reference values for the vagus nerves (VNs) vary greatly. We aimed to generate reference values in a large cohort and examine intrarater, interrater, and across-ultrasound systems agreement. ⋯ The right VN CSA is significantly larger than the left. These side- and age-specific reference values for the VN may be useful for future studies. Muscle Nerve 57: 766-771, 2018.
