Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.

Recovery from acidosis is a robust trigger for loss of force in murine hypokalemic periodic paralysis. [PDF]
, 2019 Periodic paralysis is an ion channelopathy of skeletal muscle in which recurrent episodes of weakness or paralysis are caused by sustained depolarization of the resting potential and thus reduction of fiber excitability.

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis; two different genes responsible for similar clinical manifestations [PDF]
, 2011 Primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HOKPP) is an autosomal dominant disorder manifesting as recurrent periodic flaccid paralysis and concomitant hypokalemia. HOKPP is divided into type 1 and type 2 based on the causative gene.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Adhesions’ high occurrence rates and high morbidity render them a critical challenge to be addressed. Current prevention methods, such as physical barriers, have many limitations, resulting in inconsistent safety and efficacy. This study demonstrates the potential for sprayable polymeric materials as an adhesion barrier.

Genetic diagnosis and treatment progress of primary periodic paralysis
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2014 Primary periodic paralysis is autosomal dominant genetic skeletal muscle ion channelopathy. It is characterized by episodes of muscle weakness associated with lower, normal or elevated serum potassium.

Phosphorylation and protonation of neighboring MiRP2 sites: function and pathophysiology of MiRP2-Kv3.4 potassium channels in periodic paralysis. [PDF]
, 2006 MinK-related peptide 2 (MiRP2) and Kv3.4 subunits assemble in skeletal muscle to create subthreshold, voltage-gated potassium channels. MiRP2 acts on Kv3.4 to shift the voltage dependence of activation, speed recovery from inactivation, suppress ...
