Utility of laryngeal electromyography for establishing prognosis and individualized treatment after laryngeal neuropathies

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 833-845, May 2025.
Abstract Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is a technique used to characterize neuropathic injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and superior laryngeal nerve (SLN). The RLN and SLN innervate the laryngeal muscles to produce vocal fold (VF) motion and elongation, respectively. VF motion deficiencies can affect voice, swallowing, and breathing,

Clinical and Radiological Advances in Autoimmune GFAP Astrocytopathy: Analysis of 387 Patients in Japan

Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 174-187, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy (GFAP‐A) is an autoimmune inflammatory central nervous system disease. Recent neuropathological findings indicate that GFAP‐specific cluster of differentiation (CD)8+ T cells are likely the effectors of GFAP‐A.
