Methylmercury poisoning, Clinical follow-up and sensory nerve conduction studies.
Methylmercury poisoning occurred in four cases after passage of methylmercury through the food chain. The neurological damage in all four cases was severe. The damage was greater at younger ages with maximum involvement in the case of transplacental poisoning. Significant recovery occurred in two cases, but on six-year follow-up two cases remained severely impaired. Clinical and electrophysiolo...
متن کاملConduction studies along the accessory nerve and follow-up of patients with trapezius palsy.
The accessory nerve was stimulated at the posterior triangle of the neck and responses were evoked simultaneously from the upper, middle and lower part of the trapezius muscle. Sixteen patients were investigated, 10 with trapezius palsy following surgical procedures at the posterior cervical triangle, three with a history suggestive of neuralgic amyotrophy and three of unknown origin. On the un...
متن کاملClinical and epidemiological aspects of methylmercury poisoning.
An opportunity to study the effects of methylmercury poisoning in humans was provided by the large outbreak in Iraq in 1971-2. In adults, poisoning resulted from the ingestion of home-made bread prepared from methylmercury-treated seed grain and there was a highly significant correlation between the amount of bread ingested and blood mercury levels. Poisoning in infants resulted either from pri...
متن کاملSensory Nerve Conduction Near - Nerve Recording
Near-nerve recording of sensory action potentials evoked by electrical and tactile stimuli is a valuable tool in the assessment of nerve pathophysiology. In most instances where percutaneous recording fails to discriminate sensory potentials from noise they can be picked up by needle recording. To localize the site of focal injuries by determination of conduction across the presumed site of les...
متن کاملSequelae of thallium poisoning: clinical and neurophysiological follow-up.
poisoning. Gradually the patient became drowsy and developed ptosis, glossitis, stomatitis, alopecia, Mees lines, head tremor and nystagmus. His blood thallium level was 40,980 g/ml and urine 608 g/ml. He was treated with hemodialysis, potassium, laxatives and high-dose multivitamins. Gradually his sensorium improved, and ptosis and head tremor disappeared, but he developed grade 3 quadripleg...
