The Erasmus—Polyneuropathy Symptom Score for the Screening of Chronic Axonal Polyneuropathy: A Validation Study

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Chronic axonal polyneuropathy is a common disorder that often remains undiagnosed. Early detection may enhance treatment of underlying risk factors and prevent long‐term complications. The Erasmus‐Polyneuropathy symptom score (E‐PSS) is a simple and rapid screening tool, consisting of six questions (score ranges 0–14). This

Neurophysiological Characteristics of Nitrous Oxide‐Induced Polyneuropathy: A Case Series

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Nitrous oxide (N2O) misuse is a growing health concern, with N2O‐induced neurological disorders increasingly reported across Europe. Among these, N2O‐induced polyneuropathy (PNP) can lead to permanent deficits, yet its neurophysiological characteristics remain inconsistently described.

Accelerated Anthropometric Ageing Links Loss of Physical Function and Lower Extremity Body Mass

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Ageing is associated with anthropometric changes that have been linked to functional limitations and disease risk. However, previous work is limited to a few anthropometric measures, such as body mass index or waist‐to‐height ratio.

The Flail Limb Syndrome

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 281-292, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The flail limb syndrome is primarily a lower motor neuron disorder that initially affects proximal arm muscles (flail arm syndrome—FAS) or distal leg muscles (flail leg syndrome—FLS). Both were recognized early on (1886 for FAS and 1918 for FLS) as somewhat distinct from classic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
