Demyelinating Leprosy Neuropathy: An Unusual and Misleading Electrophysiological Pattern

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Peripheral neuropathy, especially mononeuropathy multiplex, is a frequent manifestation of leprosy. Electrodiagnostic studies (EDX) usually show predominant axonal involvement. In this study, we report patients with prominent demyelinating abnormalities consistent with the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating ...

Relationships between osteoarthritic changes (osteophytes, porosity, eburnation) based on historical skeletal material

Annals of Human Biology, 2020
Background: Three main diagnostic types of osteoarthritic changes are distinguished in clinical and anthropological literature: osteophytes, porosity, and eburnation. The nature of the relationship between these changes and how lesions progress over time

Nerve Ultrasound Detects Peripheral Nerve Enlargement in Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the CYP27A1 gene, resulting in cholestanol accumulation in various tissues, including peripheral nerves. Polyneuropathy is common but often under‐recognized in CTX.

Skeletal Dysplasia During the Bronze Age in Northeast Thailand (3000–2500 BP)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines a case of skeletal dysplasia in an adult male (B290) from the Bronze Age at the site of Ban Non Wat, Northeast Thailand. Skeletal dysplasia, a group of genetic disorders affecting bone and cartilage growth, presents diagnostic challenges due to overlapping clinical features.

Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis of Prey Bone Remains Accumulated by Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): A Case of Nests in Southern France

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

A Quantitative Approach to Record Skeletal Manifestations of Leprosy and Its Application to St Mary Magdalen Leprosarium, Winchester

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents and tests a new method for publishing and diagnosing leprosy‐related skeletal lesions while making available the leprosy‐related demographic data and pathology for St Mary Magdalen, Winchester (MMW). This method can facilitate interstudy comparisons of leprosy prevalence and severity by improving data comparability.
