A master’s thesis was discussed in the College of Medicine, Department of Anatomy entitled “anatomical and histological effects of injection of NSAIDs on the sciatic nerve of rats” which was presented by the student Mustafa M. Hadi on Tuesday 18th January 2022.

The study aimed to investigate the effect of extranerve and intraneural injections of meloxicam, diclofenac sodium and ketorolac tromethamine on the sciatic nerve, histologically and histologically.

The study concluded that the damage caused by intraneural injections is worse than the damage caused by extraneural injections, and that meloxicam is safer than diclofenac and ketorolac on the sciatic nerve after intramuscular injection.

The discussion committee consisted of the Assistant Prof Dr Basem I. Al-Klou (chairman), Assistant Prof Dr Ammar Gh. Al-Hayek (member), Lecturer Dr Rana M. Raouf (member), and Lecturer Dr Ahmed H. Qassim (member and supervisor).
