Decreased electrical excitability of peripheral nerves in demyelinating polyneuropathies.
Not recognising the presence of decreased excitability may give rise to a seemingly low compound muscle action potential, which may lead erroneously to the conclusion of conduction block. To quantify decreased electrical excitability, stimulation-response curves and the current needed to achieve 90% of the maximal compound muscle action potential amplitude, i90, were obtained in 17 healthy cont...
متن کاملAcquired Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathies: Clinical and Electrodiagnostic
The acquired demyelinating polyneuropathies include acute (AIDP, Guillain-Barre syndrome, GBS) and chronic (CIDP, dysproteinemic) forms which differ primarily in their temporal profile. They are inflammatory-demyelinating diseases of the peripheral nervous System and likely have an immunologic pathogenesis. Although these neuropathies usually have a characteristic presentation, the electromyogr...
متن کاملCurrent treatments of chronic immune-mediated demyelinating polyneuropathies.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), and anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (anti-MAG) neuropathy are three demyelinating acquired neuropathies, with distinct responses to immunotherapy. In placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trials, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) has been effective for CIDP and MMN, and plasmapheresis...
متن کاملAssessing Decreased Sensation and Increased Sensory Phenomena in Diabetic Polyneuropathies
Loss of sensation and increased sensory phenomena are major expressions of varieties of diabetic polyneuropathies needing improved assessments for clinical and research purposes. We provide a neurobiological explanation for the apparent paradox between decreased sensation and increased sensory phenomena. Strongly endorsed is the use of the 10-g monofilaments for screening of feet to detect sens...
متن کاملIntroduction of a New Suture Method in Repair of Peripheral Nerves Injured with a Sharp Mechanism
Background: The standard method for repair of an injured peripheal nerve is epineural repair with separate sutures. Herein we describe a method in which the nerve is sutured with continous sutures. In fact this method has not been utilized for nerve repair previously and our purpose was to compare it to the standard method. If it proved to be successful it would replace the standard method in...
