Altered C-Fiber Function as an Indicator of Early Peripheral Neuropathy in Individuals With Impaired Glucose Tolerance
OBJECTIVE This study explored the importance of glycemic burden compared with features of the metabolic syndrome in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy by comparing C-fiber function in people with type 1 diabetes to that in people with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The axon reflex-elicited flare areas (LDIflares) were measured with a laser Doppler imager (L...
متن کاملGait Analysis in Patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Background: Neuropathies are the most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) which can affect a variety of body systems, including the locomotor, sensory, vestibular and visual system leading to poor balance which can lead to gait abnormalities causing great morbidity and worsening patients' quality of life. Aim of the Work: We aimed to analyze and compare kinematic gait parameters in di...
متن کاملContributory factors to unsteadiness during walking up and down stairs in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
OBJECTIVE Although patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are more likely to fall than age-matched controls, the underlying causative factors are not yet fully understood. This study examines the effects of diabetes and neuropathy on strength generation and muscle activation patterns during walking up and down stairs, with implications for fall risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Si...
متن کاملUsing posturography to detect unsteadiness in 13 patients with peripheral neuropathy: a pilot study.
Our aims were to use posturography to see if sway pattern differed between patients with large-fiber peripheral neuropathy and normal control subjects and, if it did, to compare posturography with conventional electromyography (EMG) as screening tools for large-fiber peripheral neuropathy. Thirteen patients who came to our neurophysiology laboratory with a preliminary diagnosis of peripheral ne...
متن کاملPeripheral eosinophilia as an indicator of meningitic angiostrongyliasis in exposed individuals.
The diagnosis of meningitic angiostrongyliasis (MA) is based on clinical criteria. A lumbar puncture is used as a diagnostic tool, but it is an invasive procedure. The blood eosinophil levels are also assessed and used in the diagnosis of this disease. We enrolled 47 patients with serologically proven MA and 131 controls with intestinal parasite infections. An absolute eosinophil count model wa...
