Slow Repetitive Nerve Stimulation in Patients with Acute Organophosphorus Poisoning after Clinical Recovery
Background: Prolonged inhibition of acetylcholine esterase may lead to the intermediate syndrome. Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) dysfunction has been shown with repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS). Subclinical NMJ dysfunction may also occur. We aimed to examine the NMJ function following acute organophosphorus (OP) poisoning by using exercise modified slow RNS. Methods: A cohort study was conducte...
متن کاملRepetitive nerve stimulation for the evaluation of peripheral nerve hyperexcitability.
OBJECTIVE To examine the utility of repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) in the evaluation of peripheral nerve hyperexcitability (PNH). BACKGROUND PNH describes a group of disorders characterized by muscle cramps, twitching and stiffness. When severe, PNH may be characterized by the presence of continuous muscle fiber activity on routine needle electromyography (EMG). In milder forms of the dis...
متن کاملComparison of amplitude and area decrement in repetitive nerve stimulation.
OBJECTIVE To access the percentage of the patients whose repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) studies were negative for 10% amplitude decrement but positive for 10% area decrement and to compare these disagreed results with specialist physician's diagnosis. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective descriptive study. SETTING Electrodiagnosis laboratory, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongk...
متن کاملRepetitive Nerve Stimulation in MuSK-Antibody-Positive Myasthenia Gravis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Responses to repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) in patients with muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody (Ab)-positive myasthenia gravis (MG) vary depending on the muscles tested. We analyzed the RNS responses of limb and facial muscles in MuSK-Ab-positive and acetylcholine receptor (AChR)-Ab-negative MG (MuSK MG) and MuSK-Ab-negative and AChR-Ab-negative [double-...
