It is well documented that diabetic rats and subjects have a paradoxical resistance to ischemic conduction block although the nerves of diabetes are more susceptible to entrapment neuropathies. The aim of the present study was to further analyze the effect of anoxia on the diabetic nerve. Nerve conduction was measured in vitro in desheathed sciatic nerves from spontaneously diabetic rats (BB-Wi...

As much as 8% of the general population suffers from chronic pain of a neuropathic origin. Peripheral neuropathic pain arises from damage to peripheral sensory nerves. Hypersensitization and increased spontaneous signaling in pain fibers have been shown to occur in damaged afferent nerves, resulting in episodes of chronic, persistent pain in absence of actual nociceptive stimuli. Small, unmyeli...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most well-known and frequent form of median nerve entrapment, and accounts for 90% of all entrapment neuropathies. Entrapment neuropathies of the ulnar nerve are relatively common with ulnar neuropathy at the elbow more prevalent than ulnar neuropathy at the wrist. The diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is usually confirmed in a relatively straight – ...

case presentation in this report, ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block was performed in a 25-year-old patient with tetanus to progress his respiratory drive which was decreased due to high dose sedative administration. this procedure accelerates the weaning process and extubation. introduction muscle rigidity and generalized spasm can cause severe pain in patients with tetanus. administration ...

A patient with a progressive lower motor neuron syndrome and neurophysiological evidence of motor axon loss, multifocal proximal motor nerve conduction block, and high titres of anti-ganglioside GM1 antibodies. Neuropathological findings included a predominantly proximal motor radiculoneuropathy with multifocal IgG and IgM deposits on nerve fibres associated with a loss of spinal motor neurons....
