Function of the Normal Neuromuscular Junction in Young Children
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) test is fundamental to test the functional integrity of the neuromuscular junction. RNS data are scarce for newborns and young children, limiting early diagnostic efforts to identify children with neuromuscular diseases. Here, we performed RNS in young children.

Increased Bilateral Interactions in Middle-Aged Subjects [PDF]
A hallmark of the age-related neural reorganization is that old versus young adults execute typical motor tasks by a more diffuse neural activation pattern including stronger ipsilateral activation during unilateral tasks.

Clinical Utility of Far‐Field Potentials in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Far field potentials (FFP) have been proposed as a reliable neurophysiological prognostic biomarker in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This study evaluates the diagnostic utility of ulnar nerve FFP in ALS. Methods Comprehensive peripheral neurophysiological assessments were conducted in 62 ALS and 43 ALS‐mimicking ...

A Cadaveric Study of Ulnar Nerve Movement and Strain around the Elbow Joint
There is a lack of data on how ulnar nerve strain varies according to the location around the elbow joint. Therefore, we measured the longitudinal movement of the ulnar nerve around the elbow joint. Four fresh-frozen cadaveric upper extremities were used.

Use of Acellular Dermal Matrix to Prevent Recurrence of Radioulnar Heterotopic Ossification. [PDF]
Radioulnar heterotopic ossification is a rare occurrence found in approximately 2% of all forearm injuries. Treatment is complicated by relatively high recurrence rates.

Clinical characteristics of anti‐neurofascin 155 antibody‐positive autoimmune nodopathy in children
Pediatric anti‐neurofascin 155 antibody autoimmune nodopathy was uncommon, featuring distal limb weakness with sensory symptoms. Cerebrospinal fluid protein levels were elevated, and neuroimaging revealed nerve root thickening. As intravenous immunoglobulin was ineffective, early immunosuppressive therapy was recommended.

Quantitative Ultrasound and B-mode Image Texture Features Correlate with Collagen and Myelin Content in Human Ulnar Nerve Fascicles [PDF]
We investigate the usefulness of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and B-mode texture features for characterization of ulnar nerve fascicles. Ultrasound data were acquired from cadaveric specimens using a nominal 30 MHz probe. Next, the nerves were extracted

Is the difference between median sensory and ulnar motor latencies better than combined sensory index in carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosis? [PDF]
Objectives: This study aims to compare the sensitivity and specificity of median sensory nerve/ulnar motor nerve latency difference (MSUMLD) as a new method with combined sensory index (CSI) for accurate diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Sonographic Imaging of the Superficial Radial Nerve and its Branches: A Pictorial Review
ABSTRACT Entrapment of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) can be a source of radial wrist, dorsal hand, and thumb pain which can be challenging to clinically differentiate from other pathological entities. Ultrasound allows direct visualization of the SRN and its branches as well as the assessment of the site, extent, and type of nerve injury or ...

A comparison of the accuracy of ulnar versus median nerve stimulation for neuromuscular monitoring [PDF]
BackgroundInexperienced anesthesiologists are frequently unclear as to whether to stimulate the ulnar or median nerve to monitor the adductor pollicis.
