toss in charge of the um can some hand in person assertions basin bunyan same uh
00:00:05
department is a tonic and i'm just gonna developing some within the doughnuts would
00:00:10
spoke about um and hopefully just hang down into the contract option
00:00:14
and see how that actually fits into some these concepts that we talked about so i do that
00:00:18
like to come to some sort of a an idea about how complex fits into the
00:00:22
the overall scheme of things and then secondarily i'll go on to speak about the management of
00:00:26
engineering is very briefly and talk about a car that we're involved with um with that
00:00:31
so just a touch again on the fact that um what attentions never that cannot be achieved because of a cap
00:00:39
um i don't suppose nerve graft remains the gold standard and i think that
00:00:42
that remains the case despite a number devices that of a paid
00:00:46
and and i'm grainy gaining um increase nice but all this that perform uh any
00:00:51
form of net surgeon if used nerve graft uh realise of course that
00:00:54
um the technique has its downside including dan mobility a limited supply extra circle time and of
00:01:01
course the results are not always as as good as you like a them to be
00:01:07
when looking for a subject for have cost it would do well to look back at
00:01:10
macy's original a definition was ninety one of coughed should um have its properties
00:01:16
uh and there's a list he really that's essentially what something which is uh as a close
00:01:20
mechanically and biologically ideally a tool autographed so easy options we have available to stay
00:01:28
and these are the ones that are gonna be talking to about sony's new generation of observable a conduit
00:01:35
and hopefully punitive how they they may fit into the contract is this
00:01:39
concept has ensured elation off any of uh uh never pair
00:01:44
isn't new it's been around for a long time and um way back um in the last
00:01:49
at two centuries ago really a clock was using decals fight bench
00:01:52
used to bridge gaps um human breaking large reason canine
00:01:56
uh now have gaps uh it was last off that's intrigue um but really career begins with
00:02:01
the with these pivotal studies in the early eighties a balloon but sweep 'em sharing
00:02:07
um the uh effect of silicon chamber on of gap and looking
00:02:12
at the regeneration cross that chamber and essentially used a rat
00:02:15
model uh with uh gaps of varying lengths within a session of model and the city can choose to bridge that gap
00:02:23
nice ensure the key findings no studies we with that you need to distill stumpy present and actually that is that
00:02:30
a a significant effect uh in the regeneration and secondarily the volume
00:02:37
of that cheap is very critical so beyond a certain length
00:02:40
um you did not get regeneration as you can see that you generated
00:02:43
speech route uh into nothing and number x. creep later on
00:02:48
um did some clinical studies will say uh which interesting you showed that in very small gaps uh
00:02:54
the sense recovery with the with the condors around it was actually better than for direct repair
00:02:58
and that's that's a recurring theme if you look at the the data the image is uh a
00:03:02
band conduct um very critically and and do some subtype analysis which oh i'll come and
00:03:08
of course even converts onto man they had a number of problems in clinical use uh the coarse
00:03:13
fibres congratulation because they were of course not global and subsequent compression what's going to automatically removed
00:03:20
um so this really brings on to the current air the cepstral conduit and susan weakens
00:03:25
group uh well early on in this uh round with a p. g. a. convict
00:03:30
um this is one of their early and experiments with a used a p. j.
00:03:35
conduit or two types of future condition compared it against um also grafting
00:03:39
and actually they compared it's um in the three centimetre gap in a mixed since you
00:03:43
mention of in a simian well that's the that's the on and that's the um
00:03:49
conduct in such you know interesting when you look at the um re expiration up some months later you can see that the
00:03:55
p. g. a. convex computer displays and you can see that it's replaced by something that looks very much like no that's
00:04:02
and actually tested uh when it's just it's um you george
00:04:06
physiologically um it was very much akin to an autographed
00:04:11
the most interesting thing in that paper is actually the comments that they make in conclusion
00:04:16
which is where they say that the state of the art marker surgical to secure repair where you actually don't happen you repair um
00:04:22
um of you'll you'll to nerve ends may actually hit the
00:04:26
potential new traffic affects exacted by the distal stump okay
00:04:29
because it prevents a re guiding or um uh uh targeting of this last goes into the corporate distal connections
00:04:37
so she says that with two close approximation to to note and the benefits of the distal stamp
00:04:42
in directing a prepaid regeneration maybe lost i think that's that's a really um insightful point
00:04:49
that same condos in using technical studies like shown this is the addition of
00:04:53
um model where in gets a three centimetre less they had accent i'm a century recovery
00:05:01
a slightly more robust it's a randomised control a heart uh by favourite channel
00:05:07
and this is p. j. conduit for us is uh stand repair an interesting when you do a sub group analysis
00:05:13
in very short gaps actual condor repair seems to give a
00:05:17
better recovery of century function than a direct repair
00:05:21
and this is this is repeating theme in many of the papers looking at this and actually sometimes the
00:05:26
poll results in the larger gaps when this man was altogether they kind of bring the overall um
00:05:32
um forcible recovery down actually just look at the very very small
00:05:36
uh gaps independently then actually visit visa potentially best indirect repair
00:05:42
which is interesting which which i think i'll come on choose maybe evolving role of the congress not gonna part is
00:05:48
and that i'm ecstatic everyone seen it got about four meters so
00:05:53
that was the cuts off um the plenty cadillac chain um
00:05:58
it's a conduit um which one is the new black on which i was tested additional level
00:06:04
um it's a very with the study and the average guy he was six twenty meters
00:06:09
and again they have comparative a recovery uh we that's even differences between
00:06:13
groups and this is uh actually study is a perspective can custody
00:06:18
um it's non control series um but that would mean that thirty
00:06:22
millimetres range of six to eighteen good wrecks in recovery
00:06:25
in nine after twelve but actually again with the subtype analysis
00:06:29
below ten minutes is significant better performance of conduct
00:06:35
and then this um he study looking at a mixed and that's these are more
00:06:39
proximal hasn't for wrong with a mixed a motion century um a nerve
00:06:44
and actually uh what they found was that with opinion well what they looked at was sixteen is all
00:06:51
all narrow gap and compare napping us cotton repair and interestingly even the motor
00:06:56
no i've actually found at twenty four months that they had a
00:07:00
good recovery that comparable to that of direct repair a bit slow recovery
00:07:04
didn't didn't see that at the idea that test for twelve months
00:07:09
many the studies mention that with a conduit your present time is reduced that's that's
00:07:14
very good okay so just to talk briefly about modern converts so these
00:07:18
numbers speeches which um which are desirable so they are semi permeable oh come
00:07:23
on to that they allow option might connections to come in their biodegradable
00:07:27
and hope that produce and the problems that that was seen with the um silicon converts of another generation
00:07:34
they are mechanically robust and it's been increases since any of of using a vein croft
00:07:39
or some of the other comments that made claps down vertically along the gaps
00:07:42
so that mechanical robustness is important and often transparent and those are the study used
00:07:47
um any form condors i think we'll probably vouch for the fact the transparency is fairly t. 'cause the flashy to see exactly how you
00:07:53
know then the sitting and the congress and i think that that's probably a pretty critical a factor that one should look for
00:08:01
so that just illustrates the by actual ability of these one converts on the a lifetime
00:08:06
site competitive reasons so we can conduct which uh which does not by the great
00:08:11
so currently on the market there are these principle devices that are available
00:08:16
the one thus far what's the x. the guards not actually marked as a conduit it's actually um
00:08:21
a um it's a wrap or sort of connected device um but just as inherent second completeness
00:08:28
you can see the bottom here the um mechanical strength um last
00:08:32
between six straight weeks along with the product or products and
00:08:35
uh which um wants a main campus in the slower regeneration if there's um other performers the compromises never covered
00:08:45
right on many studies actually comparing different conflicts uh i'm sort of latency
00:08:50
whether they whether they perform differently there is this study by shannon colleagues and this year's
00:08:55
gives a rat's model so we've all right studies in everything you got to
00:08:58
take the results with a little bit of caution um but they do show that uh
00:09:02
you get pretty good results across the board p. shape concrete performed little bit
00:09:06
uh at weston was across the new black a cheap appear to perform better than the others um but that's one study um
00:09:15
to take in control comparison okay so in terms of how they actually what what's the what's actually going on under
00:09:20
contract hat will um has never cover uh when you place commas around you repair disk on this essentially
00:09:27
in case the two cousins than as a increase alignment analysis fluid that comes
00:09:32
out of the ends and i have to be contained within that chamber
00:09:36
and within that food you can get a rudimentary finding matrix which then supports um say the migration
00:09:41
between of and and then you write griffin follows the bans okay so that being said
00:09:48
obviously the whole process then is dependent quite hard on the volume of the cheap because depend on the volume up button events
00:09:55
so as that gap increases or indeed is the damage of the nerve increases the volume in
00:09:59
that gap is gonna be quite so and so you have a certain volume you farmed
00:10:03
uh that there just isn't enough fruit volume to fill the gap and you get this out last appearance
00:10:08
uh in the matrix and therefore i think you'll know every generation williams about an hour's points um in that
00:10:14
in that out last and again if you look back at the regional studies bloomberg it so you can see that heartless appearance even in studies
00:10:20
um and you can see the bottom there at some let's be only outlaw spins the regeneration just disappears altogether
00:10:28
she volumes critical and a small gaps otherwise great um i don't actually this cross
00:10:33
and i think it's probably um was just real business because i think
00:10:39
it's difficult to know where you where the technology six not cross why or in the midst of
00:10:43
in the midst of it and it's it's probably with retrospect one can see where things stand but it may
00:10:48
be that um converts cough finding their role for the last half that are often we kind of defining
00:10:54
with a fifteen to set even the data option you see smoke out to be the the way forward for converts
00:11:00
probably since really in terms of the most robust x. that we've got a and
00:11:04
most people evil perhaps as an six device to stand up in your repair
00:11:09
and of course if this is the proposed role for conversion future uh and that means
00:11:13
that the the the the number of cases in that the volume of work that
00:11:17
they may be applied to is huge 'cause if you saying that it's a and
00:11:20
assist device to any opinion repair well that's uh that's potentially huge huge market
00:11:26
the question is can accomplish what meant or even the place the traditional happen you repair
00:11:31
and i think that's where we are at the moment so listed propose converts has a subscription of autographed but actually
00:11:38
the current days are showing you suggest that it may be an alternative or plantation the traditional opinion repair
00:11:46
we all know that never pays technically demanding him any within its remit of possible never up as we know that
00:11:51
the final result is often not as good as we'd like it to be also this intention
00:11:56
and even when you got the opinion together very nicely maybe to
00:11:59
secure overlap which is which is fairly a disastrous underneath
00:12:03
um and often chooses not protecting your son you do and that with
00:12:07
the procedures uh that may cause scarring deep down that women have
00:12:12
uh i may cause a situation you can see the middle picture there with this
00:12:15
uh new lyman continuously with actually probably very little um worked across anyway i'm
00:12:21
so is revolving of a complex action to improve the course of our test that's with the question is there's plenty of evidence
00:12:28
pointing towards it um you know it may reduce the risk of tension intentioned used scheme yeah at the upper side
00:12:35
uh when it provides a physical barrier preventing and controls passions the periphery
00:12:39
uh and infiltration surrounding tissues and makes any permeability of some of the conduit maybe an advantage
00:12:46
okay we need to caution sheep's there's a molecular penny budget cuts off that sixty two adoptions
00:12:52
and so that that may have an interesting effect because it may allow small molecular weight metabolism grace that just uh
00:12:58
come enough so freely into the conduit zone production things and have great
00:13:02
site which a much larger molecules may remain in the newman
00:13:06
um and of course fibre jen excels are excluded so that's important um
00:13:11
the criticisms of that a sentence of colleges that perhaps some the scottish invasion some studies the founding and
00:13:17
some syringe precise um may be an issue um and perhaps less parameters is better the mall
00:13:25
and as i mentioned i think the numbers you've got all this be decreased and social time we decreased
00:13:30
or which ontologies i think this concept of allowing to still suture placement away
00:13:35
from the actual pass out because of the tonic sort of touched on
00:13:38
um maybe key because it reduces the inflammatory a reaction maybe
00:13:42
set of having a white at that regenerating site
00:13:45
and of course off retention out from the competition site factory sharing tension over slightly larger a segment enough
00:13:54
those comments that are transparent and as i said there's there's just use condoms i think
00:13:58
the transparencies is very key that will have a precise alignment of the nerve ends
00:14:03
and in effect if you use your conduit simply as a device sits
00:14:07
around yep in your in and is necessary bridging that gap
00:14:10
well then the transplanted probably even more important than the actual mechanical robustness because maybe
00:14:15
there's no doubt that but you do want to see the unit indecision together
00:14:19
yeah we can involve the trial that hopefully is going to add to this
00:14:22
current a quandary about how converts converts sitting in current have practised
00:14:27
so this is a single since rossi t. i.'s investigates let's study it had also been planning on
00:14:32
uh in the sessions with our industry partner up organics i sent you exploring the idea
00:14:38
the stooges never pat and looking at the role of convicts um in that
00:14:43
so these are three groups that were randomised empty so for us is the simple stand repair and there to
00:14:48
convert groups one within happy new repair with a calm which around the outside of its recent detention sutures
00:14:54
and secondly assumption a speechless repair with detecting sutures either and converse around it
00:15:01
so i think that's gonna be really interesting see how um that goes we're looking for a
00:15:05
t. and there's an age group and these these are for what protocol essentially outcomes
00:15:10
um hand with from score twelve months um but as they that's ongoing
00:15:15
um we've got a a very nice day to catch to which um
00:15:19
it's pasta post it notes uh that the surgeon um is
00:15:23
required actually to um great his will uh never panned is almost impossible
00:15:27
but how i'm good about they've they think that's um come together
00:15:32
since summary with the congress it's clear that we need more day so we don't see that connects study in another studies
00:15:37
um because in the absence of solid evidence i think that the the the only guy the
00:15:42
certain has it really anecdotal opinion um and it tends to be industry driven over time
00:15:49
that's my bits on congress or talk briefly about a new rhymes about study
00:15:53
that we're involved with um he would collect what i've already said
00:15:56
so i think anybody that has a hand weapon impacts probably sees lots of uh patients
00:16:01
with new roma pain and we all know what dilemmas that these patients can be
00:16:06
um i'm not gonna get into the generosity of new i'm too
00:16:09
much um suffice to say by instruction that dreams are inevitable
00:16:14
a process where a proximal a nerve has been unable to
00:16:18
i'm finding appropriate just to target and that diagram illustrates how
00:16:22
um spade of that history innovation results in your home
00:16:27
you then and we sensed i see fibres and pain which is that the misery patients with you very much um can
00:16:33
be within the new remote cell from a chemical or mechanical stimulation but also from higher up in the parkway
00:16:39
and of course one sentence and starvation setting and you got features that highlighting in harper's these yeah it from can be really intractable
00:16:47
another thing i need to um tell you about the huge button economically past me and
00:16:52
uh in in some pancakes of these problems some seven cents patients
00:16:55
requiring routine energies yeah so so it's potentially huge problem
00:17:00
and of course there's no clear solution out there that can be down to to solve the problem you
00:17:04
very much over a hundred fifty methods described which i think tells a story in and of itself
00:17:09
ah yes that came to us with
00:17:16
um he really had a surgery for new rain within the doors of change churches the omen of
00:17:21
how did buried into the uh f. t. s. muscle and then re presented some years later
00:17:26
with severe pain raced into the hand that was associated with a tad the pain
00:17:31
when you select things thing is and is also getting the the spasms in the f. t. s. muscle just hold the last um
00:17:43
hum stuff isn't how that may be made by captain an estimate since
00:17:47
way d. m. uh which maybe catch for all parts movement
00:17:50
deference of form the connection so it is i i think we've all had cases of success and failure using the same technique
00:17:57
and i think that um the inconsistency of the of any any particular
00:18:01
technique is is key here and i think both but put it
00:18:04
very well when you said that the number up to techniques described is so large that it's clear that no one is highly reliable
00:18:12
so i was just talked before i finish on f. tapping which is one of many techniques that could be used street in in your home
00:18:19
and this is if you look for the mixture historically is a technique
00:18:22
that's coming nasa's favour all relates had every now and again
00:18:26
and this is the earliest reference to that i could find is from nineteen forty five the paper from chicago
00:18:31
and it's looking at having the end of and uh with a resin that then hardens informs cap of
00:18:36
the internet just to protect it pretty images from tearing into trying to she's it was turning around
00:18:41
and that got some lovely long shouldn't sections through that uh that and
00:18:45
uh and you can see that actually regeneration seems to peach wraps
00:18:49
um and they say they didn't see any new rome is a form in the series that they did
00:18:55
this some more recent studies in the eighties looking at um never generation
00:18:59
into me to feel chambers interact model by at dobbins group
00:19:03
an essential what they did was they uh use your concept to me to feel cheap and they
00:19:09
put along cap on the end of an of uh to see whether that than have they would
00:19:14
um p. trash we might get and the compared it to a new m. s. muscle fashion
00:19:18
and we can assume silicon cheap actually using stimulated these nerve and mechanically and within waldron
00:19:26
fusion more they spans across the bottom shows is that um in the
00:19:31
fibres grabbing a nice long means even shields insulated from the
00:19:34
spring three inches from any additions into the surrounding area and interest
00:19:38
for many mechanical forces uh they found was no spontaneous activity
00:19:42
so as say this this this concept has been revisited that's a fairly pivotal study that shares the potential of it
00:19:48
um when you take sections through that means the new cheap you do notice that this lee
00:19:54
um no fibre seem to peace route without causing any the chaotic new roman tight formation that you can see on
00:19:59
the picture right which is what happened if you will happen it just for you uh next most of fashion
00:20:05
so why should capping of an uh have um and work well there are
00:20:09
a number of reasons but essential prevent having an addition to french issue
00:20:15
um it'll prevent we innovation of guidelines can i um and
00:20:20
unlike bearing into muscle pain should commonly used technique you don't have any tension
00:20:25
on that note and uh as of today that's important factor also
00:20:30
so this is the new it happened where involvement trial which image talked about um in the second
00:20:35
uh unless it's essential probably probably can't black trench you uh with a closed and
00:20:40
uh that's designed to go on to the end of uh and uh have
00:20:43
um with a certain chain the length that allows enough to regenerate and hopefully p. scratch
00:20:48
would not lead and prevent any decisions into periphery the slide from any animal studies
00:20:52
the testing that helps uh and as you look at those sections of one of the
00:20:57
top is a standard uh no that's just allowed to develop into new brain
00:21:01
and one of the box and you can see how the the actual kept collapses of the end of
00:21:04
the and um you fail to get that new i'm a form that yeah and uh and
00:21:10
re section the same thing six months down the line uh showed decreased
00:21:13
adheres surrounding tissue and minimal much more information compared to controls
00:21:19
interesting when you looked at twelve months you actually get some um atrophy than of and also
00:21:25
which obviously is very key the fasten human studies were done a complete in the last year
00:21:33
the system you aim trial uh which i believe someone in in this fashion i think the results are gonna be reported
00:21:39
but actually the preliminary look shows the v. a. s. goals um will
00:21:44
um largely at decreasing of the top one for what period
00:21:49
so that the current shouts running is to protect you any trial which the most the
00:21:52
centre a trial that we're involved with um and the idea is to um
00:21:59
put this company and even have to um reduce the formation of peripheral symptomatic and new by ms
00:22:04
primary endpoint is a visual pain school and second in points i yes i
00:22:08
knew him scroll um as well as a pain medication use et cetera
00:22:12
so i think that's coming to the end i think we're recruiting the last key and well i think we're counting the large creature
00:22:18
thanks for which don't mix huge holes of even the patients that is going to make
00:22:22
um but uh recruits any next you must uh if you'll be looking to
00:22:26
report on that in the future just to finish to show you a couple cases from that a trial so this was an interesting this is they uh
00:22:34
patient prevent presented with a huge much pain within a the tools approached her tree also a just one of
00:22:41
and that x. illustrates the uh point of maximum tunnels and that dotted line
00:22:46
illustrates the the area where um the area of high precision pain
00:22:50
and and you understand isn't she knew in the dorsal brunch which was an engine to trial
00:22:56
