Motor unit potential abnormalities in multiple sclerosis: further evidence for a peripheral nervous system defect.
We have recently reported abnormalities of single fibre EMG in patients with multiple sclerosis. The present study applies quantitative electrophysiological techniques to the same group of patients. The number of motor units in the extensor digitorum brevis muscle was measured and their characteristics recorded. Also the shortest distal motor latency and fastest motor conduction velocities were...
متن کاملPeripheral Neuro Electrodiagnostic Abnormalities in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: A Cross Sectional Study
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is known to affect essentially the central nervous system; however, peripheral nerve involvement, as an additional cause of disability, has been recently noticed. Objectives: This study was aimed to perform detailed electrodiagnostic assessments in MS patients to evaluate peripheral nervous system involvement. Materials and Methods: A total of eighty MS...
متن کامل[Peripheral nervous system in limited systemic sclerosis].
OBJECTIVES PNS is involved in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) since the earliest phases. Our aim is to perform an ultrastructural study on skin PNS fibers in SSc. METHODS Skin biopsies were taken from forearms of 8 patients affected by limited SSc (lSSc) and 3 controls and processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The semithin sections (2 mm) were observed at light microscope and optical...
متن کاملELECTRODIAGNOSTIC STU DY OF PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS) IN 30 PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE MYELOMA
Involvement of the peripheral nervous system is one of the complications of multiple myeloma with a varying incidence of clinical and subclinical neuropathy in different studies. As most of the patients with multiple myeloma suffer from generalized systemic symptoms such as malaise, bone and low back pain, the clinical clues to the diagnosis of the neuropathy in its initial stages could be ...
متن کاملCross-talks between the kidneys and the central nervous system in multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease, which is considered as a common autoimmune disorder in young adults. A growing number of evidences indicated that the impairment in non-neural tissues plays a significant role in pathology of MS disease. There are bidirectional relationship, metabolic activities and functional similarity between central nervous system (CNS) and k...
