Action myoclonus-renal failure (AMRF) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by myoclonic epilepsy with occasional renal comorbidity. This study examines consanguineous family multiple members presenting epilepsy. The disease's continued transmission within the attributable to lack of genetic testing and inability establish definitive diagnosis. Our objective guide physic...

Peripheral nerve injuries can cause disabilities, social or economic problems. Melatonin, the secretory product of the pineal gland has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of melatonin on the recovery of sciatic nerve after injury, comparing its effect when given in the light or the dark periods. Forty adult male Albino rats were...

Though studies are available delineating musculoskeletal injuries in archery but not much has been reported in literature about nerve injuries sustained in this sport. Upper limb nerves of archers, especially, females, could also be at risk of pathological changes induced by repetitive stresses inherent to game of archery. Present study attempted to identify whether any alteration in functions ...

Peripheral sensory neuropathy and its risk factors are well-described in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). While clinically evident neuropathy is rare in young people with T1D, we and others have shown that subclinical peripheral neuropathy is common [1]. However, the prevalence of sensory neuropathies may be underestimated, due to a lack of established testing guidelines. We performed a syste...

OBJECTIVES To understand the prevalence of polyneuropathy and correlations among the clinical manifestations, electrophysiological findings, and degree of exposure to carbon disulphide (CS2) in workers who were exposed to variable concentrations of CS2 in a viscose rayon factory. METHODS All the 163 workers received a detailed physical and neurological evaluation. Fixed point air samples were...

Reed and Jensen (1992) studied 147 normal young adults and reported a significant positive correlation between nerve conduction velocity (NCV) in a brain nerve pathway (V:P100) and a measure of nonverbal IQ, in agreement with clinical studies. It was argued that V:P100 is a useful approximation to cortical NCV, should affect the speed of information processing (SIP), and so, should be a factor ...
