Iron Homeostasis in Peripheral Nervous System, Still a Black Box?

Electrodiagnostic study of peripheral nervous system in Behcet’s disease

Introduction: Bechcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic disease with multiple organ involvement such as central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). Involvement of PNS has been reported controversially and uncommon in textbooks and literatures. The aim of this study in to evaluate the auxiliary role of electrodiagnosis in early detection of PNS involvement to prevent neuropathy...

O 30: Peripheral Nervous System Diseases and Inflammation

Inflammatory neuropathies may be due to infection (with a specific casual agent identified) including Lyme disease, HIV, Leprosy, Herpes Zoster, Hepatitis B & C. The other group of are Autoimmune or possibly infectious (but with no specific causal infectious agent identified) including sarcoidosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome/ acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ( AIDP), chronic in...

ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC STU DY OF PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS) IN 30 PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE MYELOMA

Involvement of the peripheral nervous system is one of the complications of multiple myeloma with a varying incidence of clinical and subclinical neuropathy in different studies. As most of the patients with multiple myeloma suffer from generalized systemic symptoms such as malaise, bone and low back pain, the clinical clues to the diagnosis of the neuropathy in its initial stages could be ...

Central nervous system and glucose homeostasis

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is closely associated with obesity. Obesity features an abnormality in energy balance with excess energy stored in fat tissues. In T2D, the ability to regulate glucose homeostasis is compromised resulting in hyperglycemia (high levels of blood glucose). Central nervous system (CNS) plays an important role in energy and glucose homeostasis [1]. In normal situations, the neu...
