The Effects of Working Hours on Nerve Conduction Test in Computer Operators [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Long hours of work at a computer can result in potential adverse effects such as pain, paraesthesia, and subjective weakness of upper extremities with associated decreased nerve conduction velocities of peripheral nerves (median and ulnar)

Nerve conduction studies in early tuberculoid leprosy
Context: Hansen′s disease is a chronic illness; besides involving skin and peripheral nerves, it affects multiple organs. Nerve involvement is always present in leprosy, and it may be present much before the patient manifests clinically.

Sural nerve conduction: Amplitude and distal latency of sensory nerve action potential
Background: The sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) is an important factor in the electro diagnostic evaluation of a patient with suspected peripheral neuropathy. Sural nerve is the most frequently studied nerve in the electrophysiology.

Activity-dependent excitability changes in normal and demyelinated rat spinal root axons [PDF]
Myelinated nerve fibres with a reduced safety factor for conduction due to demyelination are easily blocked by trains of impulses. To find out why, in vivo recordings from rat ventral root fibres demyelinated with diphtheria toxin have been supplemented ...

ef: Multivariable extrapolated reference values in motor nerve conduction studies
Introduction: In this study we describe a method called "multivariable extrapolated reference values" (MeRef) that derives reference values (RVs) using patient data and includes the dependence of these variables on multiple patient demographic variables,
