Electroencephalographic Studies During Acute Subtotal Sensory Denervation in Man
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extensive sensory denervation produced by spinal anesthesia is frequently accompanied under clinical conditions by development of somnolence.' The present study was instituted to investigate this phenomenon electroencephalographically in man under controlled conditions, a review of the literature having failed to reveal data on EEG response to experimentally produced acute extensive sensory denervation in man.

Kennedy's Disease (KD) Bulbar and spinal muscular atrophy (BSMA) is an adult onset, X-linked, recessive disorder caused by expansion of a polymorphic CAG tandem repeat. Because Kennedy’s clinical symptoms overlap with some other neuromuscular disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or spinal muscular atrophies, KD sometimes is misdiagnosed or left unnoticed. Here we describe a...
متن کاملH-reflex and motor responses to acute ischemia in apparently healthy individuals.
The authors examined the effect of acute ischemia on peripheral nerve function in healthy subjects. It was hypothesized that acute ischemia would interfere with the ability of sensory and motor nerves to propagate an impulse. Twelve young, apparently healthy adults participated in the study. Soleus H-reflex and motor recruitment curves were determined for subjects during a control condition, af...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy with acute onset and rapid clinical worsening; early diagnosis and immunomodulating therapy can ameliorate the course of disease. During the first days, however, nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are not always conclusive. Here, we describe a 73-year-old man presenting with progressive muscular weakness of the lower limbs,...
متن کاملMR imaging of the lower leg versus clinical electrophysiologic examination in the differential diagnosis of neurogenic foot drop.
Patients with foot drop are frequently seen in clinical practice. Foot drop may be due to a lesion of the common peroneal nerve, L5 radiculopathy, or a partial sciatic nerve lesion or lesions involving the lumbosacral plexus or cauda equina. Nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) are of great help in localizing the site of the lesion. EMG can help detect evidence of denervation in ...
متن کاملTime-course of post-denervation changes in calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P immunoreactive nerve fibres in superior cervical ganglion in rat
In rat sympathetic ganglia decentralization by preganglionic denervation leads to intraganglionic sprouting of adrenergic nerve and also in an intraganglionic increase of peptidergic fibres immunoreactive (IR) for substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide. We explored the time-course of the post-denervation changes in intraganglionic nerve fibres immunoreactive for calcitonin gene-re...
