چکیده
Keywords Electrodiagnostic assessment Multiple sclerosis Peripheral neuropathy Although demyelination along the axons is the main manifestation of Multiple sclerosis (MS), peripheral nervous system (PNS) could be affected potentially too. In some studies PNS involvement is estimated to be more than 50 percent in MS patients. Accordingly, objective tests to confirm the severity of PNS involvement might be crucial in patients`management. Modern technological advances lead to innovation of computerized electrodiagnostic (EDX) techniques in recent years. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) provide reliable data about neuropathies. Although the frequency of PNS involvement varies in different population of MS patients, recognizing clinical and subclinical PNS impairments in MS patients is important for the treatment. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

INTRODUCTION Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rapidly progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder for which there is no effective treatment. The diagnosis is dependent on the clinical presentation and consistent electrodiagnostic studies. Typically, there is a combination of upper and lower motor neuron signs as well as electrodiagnostic studies indicative of diffuse motor axonal injury. Th...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease which is considered to be an autoimmune disease impacting the central nervous system (CNS). Patients with MS may have certain orofacial manifestations and oral microbiological changes as a result of different treatment modalities. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the changes of Candida Albicans in normal oral flora during different...
