[email protected] Abstract Diabetic polyneuropathy is one of the more commonly observed complication due to Diabetes Mellitus and is characterized by a combined axonal loss and demyelinating sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy. Nerve conduction studies are considered one of the most sensitive indices of the severity of neuropathy. In the present work, an attempt has been done to evaluate the usefulness of sensitivity of F wave latency in the diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy.

The Usefulness of Calculated Electrophysiological Parameters in Assessing the Severity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common type of mononeuropathy. Although CTS patients usually have sensory and motor latency in the EMG-NCV or EDX, a significant percentage (10-25%) of patients have a normal routine study. And if more complete diagnostic tests are not performed, it will not be diagnosed. We decided to identify this group of patients by calculating other meth...
