Effects of early and late diabetic neuropathy on sciatic nerve block duration and neurotoxicity in Zucker diabetic fatty rats [PDF]
, 2017 Background The neuropathy of type II diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing in prevalence worldwide. We aimed to test the hypothesis that in a rodent model of type II DM, neuropathy would lead to increased neurotoxicity and block duration after lidocaine ...

A Coupled Neural Circuit Design for Guillain-Barre Syndrome [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Guillain-Barre syndrome is a rare neurological condition in which the human immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system. A peripheral nervous system appears as a diffusively connected system of mathematical models of neuron models, and the system's period becomes shorter than the periods of each neural circuit.
