With steady improvement and standardisation of methods, nerve conduction studies have become a reliable means of testing peripheral nerve function. They supplement clinical observation by precisely localising the lesion and characterising the conduction abnormalities. Delineating the extent and distribution of the neural lesion by this means also helps to quantify the degree of involvement. Opt...

A double blind prospective study of the effect of almitrine bismesylate and placebo on peripheral-nerve function was carried out in 12 patients with chronic bronchitis and arterial hypoxaemia (mean (SD) FEV1% predicted 38 (16), arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) 7.56 (0.76) kPa). Of the seven patients who took placebo, none developed symptoms or signs of peripheral neuropathy. One patient who had a...

The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is used to test vascular function and is an arterial stiffness marker and potential predictor of cardiovascular events. This study aimed to analyze the relation between objective indices of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and the CAVI. One hundred sixty-six patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were included in this study. We used nerve conduction studies (...

OBJECTIVE To assess small and large nerve fiber function in people with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants were recruited consecutively from a population-based cohort: NGT (n = 39), IGT (n = 29), and T2D (n = 51). Electrophysiological measures included nerve conduction studies and thermal thresh...

Sensory conduction was studied in six patients with chronic sensory ataxic neuropathy of an idiopathic type and associated with Sjögren's syndrome. Motor nerve conduction velocities were normal in most cases, but sensory nerve potentials could not be evoked in a routine peripheral nerve conduction study. Cortical and cervical somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) and evoked potentials from Erb...

Background & objectives: Electro diagnostic studies are a reproducible and noninvasive method of assessing peripheral nerve function which is deteriorated in metabolic diseases, especially Diabetes Mellitus. These studies provide a good incite in the progress of the associated dysfunctions. Method: 30 cases of neurologically asymptomatic Diabetes Mellitus and equal number of normal non-diabetic...
