Diabetic neuropathy is a nerve disorder manifested by different faceted condition affecting up to half of individuals with persistent diabetes. Symptoms associated this disease such as palsy, painful polyneuropathy, thoracoabdominal neuropathy, autonomic diabetic amyotrophy, mononeuropathy multiplex, caused motor, sensory, and dysfunction which affects peripheral nervous system, gastrointestina...

Neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes and is characterised by a progressive loss of peripheral nerve fibres. 2 There are a number of manifestations including both monoand polyneuropathies. In the diabetic foot, distal sensory polyneuropathy is seen most commonly. However, motor and autonomic fibres may also be involved and combined neuropathies frequently occur. The development of a n...

The authors report the case of a 54-year old type-2 diabetic female patient with a Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). She progressively developed distal hypoesthesia and tetraparesis. She deteriorated after two courses of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) administration and became rapidly wheelchair bound. After one month of steroid treatment, the patient was walking alo...

Diabetes mellitus type Ι is a metabolic disorder that affects multiple systems including the inner ear. Patients with diabetes mellitus commonly complain about dizziness, floating sensation, tinnitus and sweating. The aim of this study was to compare vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) between diabetic patients with or without neuropathy. Subjects included 14 patients with diabetes me...

Three sets of electrodiagnostic criteria for establishing primary demyelination in chronic polyneuropathy are evaluated. Sensitivity is assessed in 70 patients with clinically established chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). The criteria use different abnormal values, one adjusts for the effects of axonal loss, while another relies only on conduction velocity. Howev...

Our research in 2010 included the following: 1) an actigraphic study of tremor treated with zonisamide in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), 2) a study of autonomic dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease, 3) neurophysiological studies of the visual information processing functions in neurodegenerative disease and of diabetic polyneuropathy, 4) neuroradiological studies with nuclear medic...

Diabetic neuropathy is the most common chronic complication of diabetes. Among the three major complications of diabetes, diabetic neuropathy is frequent and appears earliest after the onset of diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy presents various clinical symptoms from head to toe (and sole). Identification of the early signs of neuropathy in diabetic patients, early diagnosis, and appropriate manage...
