Application and Research Progress of High Frequency Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Chronic Inflammatory Neuropathies

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
In recent years, clinicians have gradually improved their understanding of multiple neuropathy and have done some studies about chronic inflammatory neuropathies, for example, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, multifocal motor neuropathy,

Early diagnosis of neuropathy in leprosy: comparing diagnostic tests in a large prospective study (the INFIR Cohort Study) [PDF]

, 2008
BackgroundLeprosy is the most frequent treatable neuromuscular disease. Yet, every year, thousands of patients develop permanent peripheral nerve damage as a result of leprosy.

Juvenile Huntington Disease With Cerebellar‐Predominant Atrophy Identified by Genome Sequencing

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Juvenile Huntington disease accounts for a small fraction of Huntington disease cases and is driven by the largest trinucleotide repeat expansions. We describe a 6‐year‐old boy with progressive global regression, generalized dystonia, and epilepsy, in whom serial imaging showed striking cerebellar‐predominant atrophy with an initially normal ...

Lewis-Sumner syndrome: subacute bilateral lesion of brachial plexus

Neurologijos seminarai, 2018
Lewis-Sumner syndrome (LSS) is a multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy considered as an asymmetric variant of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy affecting the upper and/or lower extremities.

Small Fibre Involvement in Multifocal Motor Neuropathy Explored with Sudoscan: A Single-Centre Experience

Diagnostics, 2020
Objective: Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a rare inflammatory neuropathy, clinically characterized by exclusive motor involvement. We wished to evaluate the possible presence of sensory dysfunction, including the evaluation of small fibres, after a

Evaluating discrepancies between high‐yield neuroscience conditions in preclerkship medical education and national clinical incidence

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Medical education must balance foundational science with clinical relevance. Increasing emphasis on standardized assessments has led to prioritization of “high‐yield” conditions—those most likely to be assessed. Subsequently, educators and students often prioritize these conditions.

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Electrophysiologic Demyelinating Features Are Common in Vasculitic Neuropathy: A Cohort of Biopsy‐Confirmed Cases

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Electrophysiologic features suggestive of demyelination have been reported in vasculitic neuropathy, complicating the diagnostic process, but their frequency is unknown. We aimed to determine the prevalence of demyelinating features, including fulfillment of European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS ...
