The Second Hit Hypothesis in Animal and Human Dystonia: The Role of Peripheral Nerve Trauma and Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
The “second‐hit” hypothesis proposes that both a genetic predisposition and an environmental insult—such as peripheral nerve trauma or spinal cord injury—are required for dystonia development. This review explores how neuroinflammation and maladaptive plasticity, triggered by nerve and spinal cord injury, contribute to dystonia pathogenesis.

Neuromuscular ultrasound in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow: correlation with electrodiagnostic studies

open access: yesEgyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, 2019
Introduction Ulnar nerve entrapment is the second most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper limb after carpal tunnel syndrome, and, if left untreated, it may lead to significant functional impairment and disability.

Marked efficacy of Rituximab in multifocal motor neuropathy associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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

The cubital tunnel and ulnar neuropathy [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1991
The anatomy of the cubital tunnel and its relationship to ulnar nerve compression is not well documented. In 27 cadaver elbows the proximal edge of the roof of the cubital tunnel was formed by a fibrous band that we call the cubital tunnel retinaculum (CTR).

Predictive Values of Preoperative Compound Muscle Action Potential Amplitude for Surgical Outcomes in Idiopathic Ulnar Neuropathy at the Elbow

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introductions/Aims Despite numerous studies on ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE), the predictive value of preoperative compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude for postoperative intrinsic function remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive values of preoperative CMAP amplitude for surgical outcomes in idiopathic ...

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) Developing During Tacrolimus Treatment: A Case Series

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) can occasionally emerge during treatment with tacrolimus, a commonly used immunosuppressant for solid organ transplantation, and this association is poorly recognized.

Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsy Presenting with Hand Drop in a Young Child [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP) results from the deletion of the PMP22 gene in chromosome 17p11.2. Clinically, it presents with painless pressure palsies, typically in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life, being a rare entity in

Sural/Radial Amplitude Ratio: A Useful Tool to Diagnose Non‐Length‐Dependent Neuropathy

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Patients with non‐length‐dependent neuropathy (NLDN) exhibit reduced sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitudes in both lower and upper limbs. This study aimed to determine a threshold for the sural/radial amplitude ratio (SRAR) suggestive of NLDN.

Ultrasonographic evaluation of ulnar innervated muscles in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Quantitative muscle ultrasound (qMUS) provides morphological measurements that can support clinical observation of muscle atrophy and weakness. As the use of qMUS continues to expand, and its potential for broader implementation in neuromuscular evaluation grows, there is a clear need for further validation, particularly in ...

Conduction block in acute motor axonal neuropathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Guillain-Barré syndrome is divided into two major subtypes, acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and acute motor axonal neuropathy. The characteristic electrophysiological features of acute motor axonal neuropathy are reduced amplitude or ...
