DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.
Radial nerve palsy. Radial nerve palsy in the arm most commonly is caused by fracture of the humerus, especially in the middle third (Holstein-Lewis fracture) or at the junction of the middle and distal thirds. The nerve may be compressed by the lateral intermuscular septum.
Etiology. Third cranial (oculomotor) nerve disorders that cause palsies and affect the pupil commonly result from aneurysms (especially of the posterior communicating artery) and transtentorial brain herniation (see Brain herniation. ) and less commonly from meningitis affecting the brain stem (eg, TB meningitis).The most common cause of palsies that spare the pupil, particularly partial palsies, is ischemia of the 3rd cranial nerve (usually due to diabetes or hypertension) or of the midbrain.Occasionally, a posterior communicating artery aneurysm causes oculomotor palsy and spares the pupil. and less commonly from meningitis affecting the brain stem (eg, TB meningitis).
