Patient-Reported Disability Measures Do Not Correlate with Electrodiagnostic Severity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Electrophysiologic studies including electromyography and nerve conduction studies play a role in the evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), despite evidence that these studies do not correlate with CTS-specific symptom scores.

Ulnar neuropathy: evaluation and management [PDF]
Ulnar neuropathy is commonly encountered, both acutely after elbow trauma and in the setting of chronic compression neuropathy. Careful clinical evaluation and discerning evaluation of electrodiagnostic studies are helpful in determining the prognosis of recovery with nonoperative and operative management.

Ulnar Neuropathy in the Distal Ulnar Tunnel [PDF]
A brief anatomical review of the ulnar nerve and areas of ulnar nerve entrapment is discussed. The importance of the dorsal cutaneous nerve is presented with regard to localizing a lesion to the ulnar nerve in the forearm. A classification system is described for ulnar entrapment that occurs distal to the wrist.

Pressures recorded in ulnar neuropathy [PDF]
The pressure between the ulnar nerve and the arcade bridging the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle was recorded peroperatively in ten patients with electrophysiologically confirmed ulnar neuropathy at the elbow. At rest, with the elbow extended, pressures ranged from 0 to 19 mm Hg but increased in flexion and during isometric contraction of ...

High‐Resolution Ultrasound of Clinically Relevant Sensory Nerves of the Arm and the Forearm
Technological advancements in ultrasound systems, particularly the development of high‐ and ultra‐high‐frequency transducers, now allow for the detailed evaluation of sub‐millimetric sensory nerves in the upper limb, extending to their distal branches. This provides invaluable insights in patients with suspected neuropathies.

Marked efficacy of Rituximab in multifocal motor neuropathy associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]
The authors describe a patient who presented a multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) associated with a high anti-ganglioside antibody (anti-GM1 and anti-GD1) titer at the clinical onset of a B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Immunomodulation (IVIg

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 ...
