endoscopic radial artery harvesting (erah) is a feasible and attractive minimally invasive approach for conduit procurement, however there have been concerns about a potential neurological damage occurring at the harvest limb site secondary to injury of the radial nerve during endoscopic harvesting. we present a case of erah in which we evaluated intraoperatively the characteristics of radial n...

Aim: To study the various electrophysiological changes in the motor conduction, sensory conduction and F wave latencies of acute Guillain-Barre Syndrome patients. Methods: Sixteen patients with acute GBS were included in this study. They were subjected to various nerve conduction studies (NCS) following standardized procedures. The mean values obtained for the various nerve conduction parameter...

The possibility that a technical error may occur during nerve conduction studies due to ulnar nerve dislocation when the elbow is flexed has recently been suggested. We investigated normal volunteers using ultrasonography to observe the effects of ulnar nerve dislocation during elbow flexion on short-segment nerve conduction studies. We found significant conduction block in all of the subjects ...

background: few reports represent palmar cutaneous nerve neuropathy in the wrist due to a ganglion cyst. case presentation: a 25-year-old female was presented with a mass at volar side of the wrist and hypoesthesia at the base of thenar eminence. at ulrasonographic examination, a simple cyst was detected. sensory response of palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve was absent at the affected sid...

Nerve conduction studies have become an important non invasive tool for diagnosis of nerve lesions. Among the various factors affecting nerve conduction gender may have a significant role. This study was planned to study the effect of gender on various parameters of nerve conduction. Nerve conduction study data of 30 males and female subject was obtained retrospectively from the lab records and...

objective(s):diabetic neuropathy (dn) is a common complication of diabetes that leads to allodynia, impaired nerve conduction, and progressive sensory loss. the aim of this study was to observe the effect of a high-affinity cannabinoid receptors agonist, win 55,212-2, on thermal hyperalgesia, nerve conduction velocity and sciatic nerve histopathology in diabetic rats. materials and methods: dia...

introduction: diabetic polyneuropathy is one of the most common and important complications of diabetes mellitus for its clinical ranking. several clinical categorising scoring systems have been designated. among them only toronto clinical scoring system (tcss) had been partially evaluated on the basis of pathologic findings in sural nerve biopsy. only the mild cases had been studied since the ...
