Primary autonomic neuropathies are divided into pure autonomic neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy with sensory impairment, and autonomic neuropathy with sensory and motor impairment based on the concomitance or absence of sensory or motor dysfunctions. Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy refers to a pure aut...

OBJECTIVES To classify clinical diseases of the subjects with abnormal indices of peripheral neuropathy identified in field studies of sheep farmers and dippers exposed to organophosphate pesticides. To explore what neuropsychological profiles, if any, may be associated with neurophysiological damage in these subjects. METHODS A case-control study (79 subjects) nested within the cross section...

OBJECTIVE To investigate a comprehensive battery of neurophysiological tests for objective evaluation of sensory neuropathies including fibre type involvement and severity, and to determine the relation between neurophysiological data and clinical examination. METHODS 45 patients referred for sensory neuropathy were studied using a standardised clinical evaluation of large and small fibre sym...
