ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) significantly impairs upper limb function, affecting patients' quality of life. Nerve transfer surgery can restore arm and hand function, but its success depends on the health of infralesional lower motor neurons (LMNs).

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1)‐related spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is characterized by α‐motor neuron degeneration, with sensory function assumed to be clinically preserved. However, recent studies in severely affected patients and animal models have challenged this view.

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The association between body mass index (BMI) and nerve conduction study (NCS) amplitudes has not been adequately studied in overweight and obese subjects. Our aim was to estimate the impact of high BMI on NCS amplitudes and NCS summary measures.

High‐Resolution 3D Turbo Spin‐Echo Wrist MRI at 7T Accelerated by Compressed Sensing
This study aimed to obtain high‐resolution 3D isotropic turbo spin‐echo (TSE) wrist MRI acquisitions at 7T, with and without fat suppression, facilitated by compressed‐sensing (CS) acceleration. CS presents the opportunity to achieve higher acceleration factors than SENSE, although further optimization of the acquisition and reconstruction process is ...

Sonographic Anatomy and Imaging of the Dorsal Thumb Tendons
ABSTRACT Injuries to the dorsal thumb tendons and related structures can result in impairment to thumb motion. Ultrasound imaging is useful in diagnosing structural change in the dorsal thumb tendons, branches of the superficial radial nerve, and the dorsal hood.

Abstract Accessory carpal bone fractures are common in horses and may have different aetiologies. Owing to their peculiar shape, internal fixation of these fractures can be challenging for the surgeon, and data on outcomes after surgery are controversial, even if surgical treatment is considered the best approach.

ABSTRACT Background Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is the most common form of CMT, varying from asymptomatic to severe. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters and diameter of the proximal nerves, as measured by magnetic resonance neurography, can be used as a potential marker to ...

Role of Imaging in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a treatable immune‐mediated neuropathy with a relapsing‐remitting course and symmetrical proximal and distal weakness. Diagnosis relies on nerve conduction studies (NCS) to detect demyelination but can be difficult in atypical cases.

ABSTRACT Introduction A retrospective case series of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) presenting with acute quadriparesis is described with a focus on patterns of neuropathy and nerve conduction study findings. Methods Six patients with acute polyneuropathy were diagnosed with AIP on the basis of characteristic clinical findings, urine ...

Transfer RNA and small molecule therapeutics for aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetase diseases
Aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetases catalyze the ligation of a specific amino acid to a cognate tRNA—a reaction that lays the foundations for deciphering the genetic code. Pathogenic alleles in these synthetases can lead to dominant or recessive disorders, for which little or no disease‐specific treatments exist.
