Effect of parathyroid hormone and uremia on peripheral nerve calcium and motor nerve conduction velocity.
Peripheral neuropathy is not an uncommon complication of chronic uremia. Because parathyroid hormone, by raising brain calcium, is partly responsible for central nervous system aberrations in uremia, we studied the relative role of uremia, per se, and(or) parathyroid hormone on peripheral nerve calcium and motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV). Studies were made in six groups of six dogs each,...
متن کاملConduction in Nerve Fibres
Data by E. A. Blair and Erlanger on the voltage-capacity curves and the nerve impulse velocities of each of several fibres in the same nerve trunk are related to Rashevsky's equation for the velocity of transmission in nerve. The results lend support to Rashevsky's analysis. Other empirical relations between the velocity and the parameters of the excitation equations indicate the correctness of...
متن کاملNerve conduction studies in adrenomyeloneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is an X linked metabolic disorder presenting with progressive spastic paraparesis in the third to fifth decade of life. Although peripheral neuropathy is also present in most patients, prominent pyramidal signs may make its clinical recognition difficult. The objective was to characterise the peripheral neuropathy in patients with AMN by nerve conduction st...
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 کاملMotor Nerve Conduction Studies
tion techniques, it is important to pursue more specialized methods of evaluating the peripheral nervous system. Additionally, nerves requiring needle excitation and less commonly studied nerves are of importance. From time-to-time patients may present with lesions affecting specific sensory branches that yield small amplitude responses or require averaging techniques to better define the desir...
