The effects of hyperglycaemic hypoxia on rectification in rat dorsal root axons [PDF]

, 1994
1. Electrotonic responses to 150 ms current pulses were recorded from isolated rat dorsal roots incubated for at least 3 h with either normal (5 mM) or high (25 mM) D-glucose solutions, and with either normal (25 mM) or low (5 mM) bicarbonate ...

Prediction of Myasthenia Gravis Worsening: A Machine Learning Algorithm Using Wearables and Patient‐Reported Measures

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness with potential life‐threatening crises. Timely interventions may be delayed by limited access to care and fragmented documentation. Our objective was to develop predictive algorithms for MG deterioration using multimodal telemedicine data ...

Daratumumab Treatment for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP): A Case Report

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune‐mediated neuropathy featuring progressive weakness, sensory deficits, and areflexia. While corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasmapheresis are effective first‐line immunotherapies, a subset of patients remains treatment‐refractory.

Conduction abnormalities are restricted to the central nervous system in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induced by inoculation with proteolipid protein but not with myelin basic protein [PDF]

, 1994
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and can be induced by inoculation of animals with homogenized CNS tissue or highly purified myelin proteins such as myelin basic ...

Assessment of Pain Types in Recently Diagnosed Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Up to 40% of patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) experience persistent pain, traditionally thought to be associated with a shift from peripherally to centrally mediated pain during the disease course in some patients. We assessed sensory profiles of recently diagnosed individuals with IA, hypothesizing that pain reported at this early ...

Comparison of nerve block and spinal anesthesia in second toe pulp free flap surgery for fingertip reconstruction

Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery
Toe pulp flap surgery is a viable option for soft tissue defects of the fingertips, effectively addressing patient needs and fingertip characteristics. The preferred anesthesia for lower-extremity surgery includes spinal and regional anesthesia. However,

The binding of botulinum neurotoxins to different peripheral neurons [PDF]

, 2017
Botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins known. The double receptor binding modality represents one of the most significant properties of botulinum neurotoxins and largely accounts for their incredible potency and lethality.

Re‐thinking Strategies for a Pharmaceutical Approach to Pain‐related to Connective Tissue Related Raynaud's Phenomenon in the United States

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Introduction There are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved therapies for Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) treatment in the United States (U.S.). Clinical trials have been challenged by study design. Important advances in RP patient reported outcome measures and mechanistic quantification allows RP‐related pain characterization.

Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves cannot be selectively blocked by using ultrasound guidance: a volunteer study [PDF]

, 2017
Background Ilioinguinal (IL) and iliohypogastric (IH) nerve blocks are used in patients with chronic postherniorrhaphy pain. The present study tested the hypothesis that our method, previously developed in cadavers, blocks the nerves separately and ...
