Correlations between slow-rate repetitive nerve stimulation and characteristics associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Chinese patients
[Purpose] To clarify the features associated with decrements in compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) during slow-rate repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) of muscles involved in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in mainland China. [Subjects and Methods] A retrospective study of decremental responses to slow-rate RNS was performed to compare patients with ALS to those with myasthenia gravis ...
متن کاملSlow Repetitive Nerve Stimulation in Patients with Acute Organophosphorus Poisoning after Clinical Recovery
Background: Prolonged inhibition of acetylcholine esterase may lead to the intermediate syndrome. Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) dysfunction has been shown with repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS). Subclinical NMJ dysfunction may also occur. We aimed to examine the NMJ function following acute organophosphorus (OP) poisoning by using exercise modified slow RNS. Methods: A cohort study was conducte...
متن کاملRepetitive Nerve Stimulation Test in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis with Predominant Oropharyngeal Manifestations
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients display easy fatigability and abnormal decrements on repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) test of clinically involved limb muscles, which can result in ALS being misdiagnosed as myasthenia gravis. We retrospectively analyzed the RNS tests of ten ALS patients with only or predominant oropharyngeal symptoms without ocular or facial...
متن کاملAn Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Like Symptoms Associated with Lead Toxicity
Abstract Lead is a heavy metal that affects many organs such as nervous system, liver, and kidney. The most important affected organ is central nervous system. The present study reported a case similar to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) due to lead exposure in an opium addicted person. The patient complaint was the weakness of upper and lower limbs in addition to the unsteadiness of gait...
متن کاملCognitive Impairment in Chinese Patients with Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
BACKGROUND It has reached a consensus that patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) could display cognitive impairment characterized by executive dysfunction or even dementia, but cognitive spectrum of Chinese patients with ALS still waits to be documented. METHODS A total of 106 incident patients with sporadic ALS were enrolled and comprehensive neuropsychological tests covering mem...
