This study examined the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in transducing high glucose into deficits in nerve conduction velocity (NCV) that are characteristic of diabetic neuropathy. p38 activation and NCV were measured in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats treated with a p38 inhibitor, an aldose reductase inhibitor, and insulin. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) from diabetic animals ...

This is a detailed report of the first demonstration in normal individuals of a correlation between intelligence level ("IQ") and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) in a brain nerve pathway. A total of 147 postsecondary students were tested for nonverbal 1Q and latency of the PI00 (a visually evoked potential recorded over the primary visual cortex); this latency was used to estimate an approximat...

The influence of diets containing gamma-linolenic acid (GLA; 18:3n-6) on sciatic nerve conduction velocity (NCV) was determined in diabetic rats. NCV was lower in diabetic rats fed diets supplemented with olive oil or sunflower seed oil than in nondiabetic rats; rats supplemented with GLA during a 5-wk diabetic period, however, did not exhibit significantly lower NCV. The mean proportion of the...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to obtain data on interrater repeatability of the motor nerve conduction velocity (NCV) of the ulnar nerve of different segments, ulnar distal motor latency (DML), and compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes. DESIGN Twenty-four healthy volunteers were examined in consecutive order. Ulnar motor NCV of different segments, ulnar DML, and CMAP am...

BACKGROUND Electrodiagnostically, localization of ulnar nerve lesions, which commonly occurs at the elbow, is sometimes problematic. Measurement of motor ulnar nerve conduction velocity (NCV) at the elbow is amongst the most popular techniques to diagnose ulnar neuropathy. In this method, recording from the first dorsal interosseous muscle (FDI) is suggested to be more sensitive than the abduct...

In this paper, the neutrosophic trimmed average, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (NTCV) are introduced. The application proposed descriptive statistics is given with help measurement data. comparisons NTCV compared existing (NCV). From comparisons, it concluded that more efficient than NCV in terms consistency measures indeterminacy. Based on study, recommended to apply industr...
