Calcium channel autoantibodies in the lambert‐eaton myasthenic syndrome

open access: yes, 1991
We have tested 36 patients with the Lambert‐Eaton myasthenic syndrome for serum antibodies to voltage‐gated calcium channels by using an immunoprecipitation assay with [125I] ω‐conotoxin–labeled voltage‐gated calcium channels extracted from a human ...

Guillain‐Barré syndrome: a comprehensive review

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) is a potentially devastating yet treatable disorder. A classically postinfectious, immune‐mediated, monophasic polyradiculoneuropathy, it is the leading global cause of acquired neuromuscular paralysis. In most cases, the immunopathological process driving nerve injury is ill‐defined.

NMR‐based metabolomic investigation of dogs with acute flaccid paralysis due to tick paralysis

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 4, July 2024.
The NMR‐based serum metabolomics approach used in this study revealed distinct up‐regulated/down‐regulated expressions, presenting a promising avenue for research. It was observed that energy metabolism, particularly liver function, was impaired in dogs with tick paralysis.
