Charcot neuroarthropathy : pathogenesis, diagnosis and medical management [PDF]
, 2008 Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) is a progressive degenerative arthropathy which rarely complicates diabetes mellitus. Most commonly, though not exclusively affecting the foot, it seems to be determined by the interaction of neuropathy, osteopaenia and ...

A Novel Model of Cancer-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy and the Role of TRPA1 in Pain Transduction [PDF]
Pain Research and Management, Volume 2017, Article ID 3517207, 2018 Background. Models of cancer-induced neuropathy are designed by injecting cancer cells near the peripheral nerves. The interference of tissue-resident immune cells does not allow a direct contact with nerve fibres which affects the tumor microenvironment and the invasion process. Methods.

A review on the investigation of peripheral neuropathy at Mater Dei Hospital [PDF]
, 2015 The term peripheral neuropathy encompasses a wide range of disorders. The underlying causes of peripheral neuropathy are diverse. It is very difficult to ascertain the incidence of peripheral neuropathy with any degree of certainty, but it is a ...

The effects of hyperglycaemic hypoxia on rectification in rat dorsal root axons [PDF]
, 1994 1. Electrotonic responses to 150 ms current pulses were recorded from isolated rat dorsal roots incubated for at least 3 h with either normal (5 mM) or high (25 mM) D-glucose solutions, and with either normal (25 mM) or low (5 mM) bicarbonate ...

Spotlight on nerves: Portable multispectral optoacoustic imaging of peripheral nerve vascularization and morphology [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Various morphological and functional parameters of peripheral nerves and their vascular supply are indicative of pathological changes due to injury or disease. Based on recent improvements in optoacoustic image quality, we explore the ability of multispectral optoacoustic tomography, in tandem with ultrasound imaging (OPUS), to investigate the vascular

Is resistance to ischaemia of motor axons in diabetic subjects due to membrane depolarization? [PDF]
, 1990 The reasons for the resistance to ischaemia of peripheral nerves in diabetics are not well understood. We have now explored whether axonal depolarization underlies this phenomenon, as has previously been proposed.
