Autoimmune Comorbidities as Modifiers of Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) shows clinical heterogeneity that is only partly explained by D4Z4 repeat unit (RU) size. Although immune and inflammatory mechanisms may contribute to disease variability, the prevalence and clinical impact of autoimmune diseases in FSHD remain unclear.

Repetitive after-discharges are more common in acquired demyelinating polyneuropathies
Repetitive after-discharges (RAD) following compound muscle action potential (CMAP) have been increasingly observed during F-wave studies in the diagnosis of demyelinating polyneuropathy.

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

Intravenous immunoglobulin for inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy [PDF]
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) plays a key role in treatment of inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies such as Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS). However, individual response to treatment can be unpredictable, and for those most severely affected, a ...

Exteroceptive Reflexes in Stiff Person Syndrome, Other Neurological Conditions and Healthy Controls
Abstract Background Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare disabling neurological condition with overlapping symptomatology with more common neurological conditions. Exaggerated exteroceptive reflex mechanisms are thought to play a role in its pathophysiology.

ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

Tendon‐reflex testing in chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy
We studied the tendon reflex (T-reflex) in 26 patients with acquired chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy (CDN), including 22 with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
