As part of the workup polyneuropathy, neurologists often encounter patients with paraproteinemias, also called monoclonal gammopathies. Given relatively rising prevalence both polyneuropathy and paraproteinemias in our aging population, this coexistence is frequently due to chance. Still, certain types have a well-defined causal role development therefore has implications their subsequent work-...

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...

primary non-hodgkin’s lymphoma of the cranial vault is extremely rare. this case report presents a 42-year-old man with a painless subcutaneous scalp mass which extended intracranially associated with recent mild headache. initial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed two lesions emanating from the skull. biopsy revealed a diagnosis of diffuse large b cell lymphoma (dlbcl)...

the head bones and relevant muscles are important elements composing the feeding and respiration apparatus and can be considered as highly important structures for giving rise to evolutionary specializations. the eels of the anguilloidei is a diverse group and structural diversity in their cranial musculoskeletal system is thus to be expected. ariosoma gilberti is a member of bathymyrinae (cong...

Four cases of toxic polyneuropathy due to glue-sniffing were reported. Neurological examination revealed motor predominant mixed type polyneuropathy. The cause of polyneuropathies in these cases was considered to be due to the inhalation of the vaporized elements of the adhesive agent, which contain mainly n-hexane and toluene. N-hexane is considered to be chiefly responsible for the polyneurop...

Wakefulness, NREM sleep, and REM sleep are accompanied by specific changes in breathing control, which arise from the interaction of automatic (metabolic, involuntary) and behavioural (voluntary and involuntary control systems. Considering the complexity in the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of breathing control, it is not surprising that neurologic disorders are frequently accompanied by sle...
