Maltese with genetic susceptibility to poliomyelitis : sibs with paralysis at different times [PDF]

, 2015
The author of this article found the records of 1,072 Maltese cases of poliomyelitis in the islands of Malta from 1909 to 1964. These cases and baptism matched controls were traced to their great grand-parents and all marriages were checked for ...

Infectious Triggers and Immune Dynamics in Guillain–Barré Syndrome: Revisiting Campylobacter jejuni and the Silent Role of Haemophilus influenzae

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Schematic representation of the gut‐brain axis and microbial triggers in Guillain–Barré Syndrome. Post‐infectious immune responses, particularly through molecular mimicry by pathogens, such as Campylobacter jejuni and Haemophilus influenzae, lead to demyelination and subsequent neuromuscular paralysis.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis represents corticomotoneuronal system failure

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 499-511, April 2025.
Abstract Several decades have passed since the anterograde corticomotoneuronal hypothesis for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was proposed. The intervening years have witnessed its emergent support based on anatomical, pathological, physiological, neuroimaging, and molecular biological studies.

Quantitative evaluation of factors influencing the 3 Hz repetitive nerve stimulation test in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 194-203, August 2024.
Abstract Introduction/Aims Previous studies have suggested that treatments targeting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) may play a role in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, factors impacting repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS), a technique to evaluate NMJ function, have yet to be fully elucidated.

Guillain‐Barré syndrome: a comprehensive review

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) is a potentially devastating yet treatable disorder. A classically postinfectious, immune‐mediated, monophasic polyradiculoneuropathy, it is the leading global cause of acquired neuromuscular paralysis. In most cases, the immunopathological process driving nerve injury is ill‐defined.

A 3‐month‐old neonatal rhesus macaque HFMD model caused by coxsackievirus B1 infection and viral tissue tropism

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 96, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Coxsackievirus B1 (CVB1), an enterovirus with multiple clinical presentations, has been associated with potential long‐term consequences, including hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), in some patients. However, the related animal models, transmission dynamics, and long‐term tissue tropism of CVB1 have not been systematically characterized ...

Peripheral nervous system and neuromuscular disorders in the emergency department: A review

Academic Emergency Medicine, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 386-397, April 2024.
Abstract Introduction Acute presentations and emergencies in neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) often challenge clinical acumen. The objective of this review is to refine the reader's approach to history taking, clinical localization and early diagnosis, as well as emergency management of neuromuscular emergencies.

Practical approach to the child presenting with acute generalised weakness

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 60, Issue 2-3, Page 41-46, February-March 2024.
Acute generalised muscle weakness in children is a paediatric emergency with a broad differential diagnosis. A careful history and neurologic examination guides timely investigation and management. We review some of the more common causes of acute generalised muscle weakness in children, highlighting key history and examination findings, along with an ...

Myelin protein zero mutation‐related hereditary neuropathies: Neuropathological insight from a new nerve biopsy cohort

Brain Pathology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2024.
To enhance the understanding of subtype‐specific features and pathophysiological aspects of hereditary neuropathies due to mutations in the myelin protein zero (MPZ), we performed neuropathological analyses of archival nerve and muscle biopsies as well as autopsy material and present them along with clinical and genetic data.
