INTRODUCTION Nerve conduction velocity slows and amplitude declines with aging. METHODS Median and ulnar sensory nerves were tested at the annual meetings of the American Dental Association. Seven hundred four subjects had at least two observations. The rate of change in the nerve parameters was estimated while controlling for gender, age, change in hand temperature, baseline body mass index ...

Dependence of nerve conduction velocity on factors like age, sex and temperature is well known. Effect of handedness on nerve conduction velocity has not been studied adequately. In this study correlation between handedness and motor as well as sensory conduction velocity of right as well as left median nerve was studied in 84 medical students in the age group between 17-21 years out of which 7...

OBJECTIVE Slow nerve conduction velocity and reduction in response amplitude are objective hallmarks of diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Because subjective or clinical indicators of neuropathy do not always match well with the presence of abnormal nerve physiology tests, we evaluated associations to nerve conduction in patients with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Nerve cond...

objective: the aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of oral administration of gallic acid (ga) for 21 days alone and in combination with exercise on nerve conduction velocity and sensory and motor functions in rats with sciatic nerve crush. materials and methods: seventy adult male wistar rats (250-300 g) were divided randomly into 7 groups with 10 in each: 1) control (cont), 2) cru...

Observations have been made on motor conduction velocity in the tibial nerve of rats given 35% myoinositol in the diet. Comparison between the values before and with up to nine weeks of dosing revealed no alteration in conduction velocity. In such animals, the free myoinositol content in the sciatic nerve was increased; there was no detectable alteration in the lipid inositol concentration. In ...

background: the pneumatic tourniquet (pt) is routinely used in upper and lower limb operations by most orthopaedic surgeons. the silicone ring tourniquet (srt) was introduced in clinical practice the last decade. clinical as well comparative studies in volunteers concerning its safety and efficacy have been published. the aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative effect of the sili...
