The potential of axonal damage as a biomarker of disease severity and predictor of further outcomes is highlighted by its effect on functional disability, even in early disease stages. Patients who ...

AIDP, acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy AMAN, acute motor axonal neuropathy GBS, Guillain–Barré syndrome We studied a ... Motor conduction studies were made on the median, ulnar, tibial, ...

She was also areflexic. Electromyography confirmed severe sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy. Right sural nerve and rectal biopsies confirmed amyloidosis on Congo red staining. Laboratory studies ...

Medicare coverage for a breast MRI is determined on a case by case basis. Although mammograms remain the first-line screening test for breast cancer, a breast MRI may be recommended for people at high ...

Summary: A new study reveals that humans think at a rate of 10 bits per second, while sensory systems process a billion bits per second—100 million times faster. This highlights a paradox: why does ...

The findings suggest that advanced glycation end products, formed as a result of carbonyl stress, could represent a potential target for preventing diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Endogenous ...

Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging tool that involves contrast agents and powerful magnetic and radio waves to generate highly detailed images of breast tissues. Breast MRIs are ...

The authors set out to develop a tissue culture method in which to study the different regenerative abilities of the central and peripheral branch of sensory axons. Neurons developed a small and ...

Immune axonal neuropathies have highly heterogeneous clinical presentation and course, ranging from mild chronic distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy to severe subacute mononeuritis ... A ...

Emerging data suggest a possible genetic contributor to CIDP. In a recent study, patients with CIDP had a high frequency of perforin gene variations that impair the function of cytotoxic T and ...
