Modeling nerve conduction criteria for diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy.
INTRODUCTION In this study we aimed to determine which criteria are valid for nerve conduction (NC) diagnosis of typical diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN). METHODS Eight criteria were assessed from among diabetes databases, the Rochester Diabetic Neuropathy Study (RDNS, N = 456), and in healthy subjects (RDNS-HS, N = 330). RESULTS In the RDNS, the most frequent abnormal attributes...
متن کاملCombined nerve conduction index in diabetic polyneuropathy.
UNLABELLED Diabetic polyneuropathy can be confirmed by nerve conduction studies. The data can be analyzed in the form of a combined index instead of individual parameters. METHODS The combined index included five parameters of nerve conduction studies commonly used for evaluation of polyneuropathies. We evaluated sensitivity in 100 diabetic patients with suspected polyneuropathy, and specific...
متن کاملNerve conduction in alcoholic polyneuropathy.
SYMMMS of alcoholic Peripheral neuropathy were first recognized by ' S Lettsom (1787) who described hypermsthesiae and paralysis, affecting the ` r legs more than the arms. He, and later Jackson (1822), delineated the late ^ ^y ^ G^ `^ stage of peripheral nerve affection. Much clinical observation since then ','^ .c 0 has shown that the neuropathy in alcoholics varies widely in seve rity. We S ...
متن کاملDiabetic Polyneuropathy: Definitive Diagnosis
DPN can present with a wide range of symptoms, including pain, unsteadiness, weakness, postural hypotension, gastroparesis, and impotence. It can lead to foot ulceration, Charcot foot, and amputation. It is desirable to periodically assess for the presence of neuropathy and also stratify neuropathy in patients in anticipation of these problems. It is important to be aware of the strengths and l...
متن کاملCorneal Nerve Fractal Dimension: A Novel Corneal Nerve Metric for the Diagnosis of Diabetic Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy
Objective Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM), an in vivo ophthalmic imaging modality, is a noninvasive and objective imaging biomarker for identifying small nerve fiber damage. We have evaluated the diagnostic performance of previously established CCM parameters to a novel automated measure of corneal nerve complexity called the corneal nerve fiber fractal dimension (ACNFrD). Methods A total o...
