Electrodiagnostic findings in acute porphyric neuropathyMuscle and Nerve - Tập 1 Số 4 - Trang 292-296 - 1978
James W. Albers, William C. Robertson, Jasper R. Daube
AbstractOf 115 patients with acute intermittent porphyria seen during a 20‐year period, 11 had experienced an acute episode of quadriparesis. Nerve conduction studies performed on 8 of these 11 patients showed lowamplitude compound action potentials and normal velocity measurements. Needle electromyography demonstrated prominent fibrillation potentials, especially ...... hiện toàn bộ
A morphometric study of intrafascicular vessels of mammalian sciatic nerveMuscle and Nerve - Tập 7 Số 7 - Trang 524-534 - 1984
Mary Ann Bell, A. G. M. Weddell
AbstractIntrafascicular vessel profiles were measured with a Quantimet image analyzer in 1‐μm transverse sections of sciatic nerves of rats and compared with those of (“white”) skeletal muscle. Blood vessels occupy the same percentage of the total tissue area in nerve and muscle tissues. The nerve, however, has much larger capillaries (about 1.7 ×) spaced farther a...... hiện toàn bộ
Progressive motor neuron disease associated with electrical injuryMuscle and Nerve - Tập 14 Số 10 - Trang 977-980 - 1991
Michael Sirdofsky, Rollin J. Hawley, Herbert J. Manz
AbstractA patient in perfect health prior to electrical shock developed an ALS‐like syndrome after the shock. Onset of the disease occurred in the limb through which the shock entered, and subsequently followed a course well‐described in previous case reports. Possible mechanisms of disease are discussed.
Body mass index, not dyslipidemia, is an independent predictor of survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosisMuscle and Nerve - Tập 44 Số 1 - Trang 20-24 - 2011
Sabrina Paganoni, Jing Deng, Matthew Jaffa, Merit Cudkowicz, Anne‐Marie Wills
AbstractIntroduction: Recent studies have provided conflicting data regarding the role of dyslipidemia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The aim of this study was to determine whether cholesterol level are an independent predictor of survival in ALS. Methods: Cholesterol levels were measured in 427 ALS subjects from three clinical trial databases. Results: Th...... hiện toàn bộ
Assay of diffusion of different botulinum neurotoxin type a formulations injected in the mouse legMuscle and Nerve - Tập 40 Số 3 - Trang 374-380 - 2009
Luca Carli, Cesare Montecucco, Ornella Rossetto
AbstractBotulinum neurotoxin type‐A (BoNT/A) is very effective in the therapy of a wide range of human syndromes characterized by hyperactivity of peripheral cholinergic nerve terminals. Little diffusion of this toxin from the site of injection is commonly observed, but even minor changes in this property would greatly affect the validity of the treatment. Differen...... hiện toàn bộ
Diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and old age disabilityMuscle and Nerve - Tập 25 Số 1 - Trang 43-50 - 2002
Helaine E. Resnick, Kevin B Stansberry, Tamar B. Harris, Mahdvi Tirivedi, Kimberly Smith, Polly Morgan, A Vinik
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine whether peripheral neuropathy explains the apparent association between diabetes and disability in old age, and to evaluate the utility of lower extremity function tests in older diabetic adults with and without neuropathy. We evaluated 39 adults, aged 70–79 years, for pressure sensation (log10...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of different sensory inputs on the median‐derived somatosensory evoked potentialMuscle and Nerve - Tập 12 Số 7 - Trang 598-603 - 1989
Ricardo Reisin, Douglas S. Goodin, Michael J. Aminoff, Mary Mantle
AbstractWe studied the effect of a variety of “interfering” stimuli on the median‐derived somatosensory evoked potentials recorded over Erb's point, cervical spine, and scalp. We found that the amplitude of N20 and P27 recorded over the scalp was attenuated by active movement, vibration, and tactile stimulation of the ipsilateral hand but not by passive movement.
