Evidence of Oligoclonal Bands Does Not Exclude Non-Inflammatory Neurological Diseases
Diagnostics, 2020 Cerebrospinal fluid analysis is an essential part of the diagnostic workup in various neurological disorders. Evidence of an intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis, as demonstrated by Reiber’s diagram or the more sensitive oligoclonal bands (OCB), are ...

Nerve Biopsy in Peripheral Neuropathies: Not All Water Is under the Bridge
Brain Sciences, 2021 Sural nerve biopsy has long been a valuable diagnostic tool for the study of peripheral neuropathies, although the recent introduction of non-invasive techniques (e.g., neuroimaging techniques, skin biopsy) and advanced genetic and immunological testing ...

Bimanual proprioception: are two hands better than one? [PDF]
J Neurophysiol. 2014 Mar;111(6):1362-8, 2013 Information about the position of an object that is held in both hands, such as a golf club or a tennis racquet, is transmitted to the human central nervous system from peripheral sensors in both left and right arms. How does the brain combine these two sources of information?

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

Epitope Mapping of Anti‐Neurofascin 155 Antibody in a Large Cohort of Autoimmune Nodopathy Patients
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune nodopathy (AN), a newly recognized disease entity, is an immune‐mediated polyneuropathy involving autoantibodies against cell adhesion molecules located in nodes of Ranvier and paranodal regions, such as neurofascin 186 (NF186) and neurofascin 155 (NF155). The present study aimed to identify the epitopes for autoantibodies

PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT IN LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS
Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2018 Peripheral neuropathies are a vast group of diseases with heterogeneous aetiologies, including genetic and acquired causes. Several haematological disorders may cause an impairment of the peripheral nervous system, with diverse mechanisms and variable ...

Peripheral nervous system involvement in Parkinson's disease: Evidence and controversies
Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2014 In recent years, non-motor features of Parkinson's disease (PD) have received increasing attention and PD is currently considered a systemic rather than a pure basal ganglia disorder. Among the systemic features, peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a recent acquisition since the first case-control study reporting increased frequency of PN in PD dates back to

Correspondence of MRI and nTMS With EDSS in Multiple Sclerosis: Longitudinal Follow‐Up Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Considering the characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) disease and its impact on motor disability, this study aims to assess the functional integrity of the corticospinal tract by examining motor evoked potentials (MEPs), Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion counts, and ...
