Introduction Abnormal neural impulses in the nervous system may lead to various diseases and disabilities. High frequency alternating currents (HFAC) has been used to block the propagation of such impulses and improve the symptoms or disabilities. The technique is safe, reversible, and relatively selective, and its reliability, the optimum stimulation parameters, and elimination of the onset re...
Introduction: Repair of peripheral nerve injuries is an intensive area of challenge and research in modern reconstructive microsurgery. Intensive research is being carried out to develop effective alternatives to the standard nerve autografting, avoiding its drawbacks. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly designed mechanical device for the reconstruction of the...
BACKGROUND Nerve conduction study assesses peripheral nerve functions and has clinical implication. OBJECTIVES To study the effect of age on nerve conduction study variables in healthy adults. METHODS Cross sectional study was done from Jan 2006 to Dec 2006 in department of Physiology, BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal. The study was done in 34 (younger, n= 18, 17 to 29...
Studies in experimental diabetic rat attribute the acute reversible nerve conduction defect as well as the early structural abnormalities of the node of Ranvier and myelinated axons to changes in nerve metabolism secondary to hyperglycaemia and activation of the pol yo1 pathway.’-8 The early readily reversible slowing of nerve conduction velocity in the diabetic rats correlates with a decrease ...
OBJECTIVE Earlier studies have shown sonographic enlargement of the ulnar nerve in patients with Hansen's neuropathy. The present study was performed to determine whether sonography or electrophysiological studies can detect the specific site of ulnar nerve pathology in leprosy. METHODS Eighteen patients (thirty arms) with Hansen's disease and an ulnar neuropathy of whom 66% had borderline tu...
The treatment of nerve disorders of the upper extremity has become a highly specialized area. There has been an evolution in the electrodiagnostic approach for evaluating patients with these disorders. Portable automated nerve conduction testing systems are becoming popular for limited nerve conduction testing in the office. Differential latency testing can aid in the diagnosis of dynamic nerve...
Using the emerging technique of peripheral nerve ultrasonography, multiple focal nerve swellings corresponding to sites of existing conduction blocks have been described in demyelinating polyneuropathies. We report two cases of multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy (MADSAM). In the first, multiple focal nerve enlargements were detected by ultrasound at sites of previous...
AIM To compare different method(s) to detect peripheral neuropathy in leprosy and to study the validity of the monofilament test (MF) and the voluntary muscle test (VMT) as standard tests of nerve function. DESIGN A multi-centre cohort study of 303 multibacillary (MB) leprosy patients. METHODS Newly registered MB patients requiring a full course of MDT were recruited in two leprosy outpatie...
Background : Determining the validity of current median sensory nerve conduction techniques for diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods: Eighty five patients with clinical diagnosis of CTS were compared with the same number of healthy people. The validity of electrodiagnostic tests were compared in a case-control manner. These electrodiagnostictechniques included long-segment, sh...
BACKGROUND Few studies have focused on peripheral nerve conduction during exposure to microgravity. The -6° head-down tilt (HDT) comprises an experimental model used to simulate the space flight environment. This study investigated nerve conduction characteristics of rhesus monkeys before and after prolonged exposure to HDT. METHODS Six rhesus monkeys (3-4 years old) were tilted backward 6° f...
