Nerve pathologic features differentiate POEMS syndrome from CIDP
The objective of this study is to determine if the nerve pathology in patients with POEMS syndrome is different from CIDP. We hypothesized that nerve biopsies from patients with POEMS syndrome would have more small vessels and axonal degeneration but less inflammation than CIDP.We performed a retrospective analysis of nerve biopsies performed on "classic" CIDP and POEMS cases. Nerve biopsies we...

متن کاملRole of Neck Circumference (NC) in Road Traffic Accidents of Commercial Bus and Truck Drivers
Introduction: Sleepiness may predispose drivers to road traffic accidents. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome is the most common medical cause of sleepiness. Hence increased neck circumference (NC) and obesity are known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome risk factors. This study was conducted to assess OSAS role in occurrence of road traffic accidents in sleeping drivers of commercial heavy veh...
متن کاملAccuracy of Neck Circumference as a Screening Tool in Classifying General and Central Obesity
Objective: the neck circumference (NC) as an index of obesity and upper-body subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution is recently used. This alternative screening tool is reliable, simple, quick and acceptable for assessment of overweight and obesity. the objectives of this study were to examine the correlation between NC measurement and diagnosis of general/visceral obesity and determining the...
