To learn more about the mechanisms of nerve lesions in POEMS syndrome, nerve specimens from four patients were studied with an immunogold method at the ultrastructural level to detect and localise the M protein in the different nerve compartments. An indirect immunolabelling technique was applied on 4% PFA fixed and LR White embedded nerve specimens. Antisera against IgG, IgA, IgM, and lambda a...

Electroneurographic (ENeG) and evoked potential (EP) studies were regularly performed on 11 printing workers with n-hexane polyneuropathy after cessation of exposure. At the initial examination, the ENeG studies simulated a demyelinative process. Further slowing of nerve conduction velocity, or further decreasing of action potential amplitude, or both in the follow up ENeG study were found in a...

The value and limitations of CT and MR in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection of the brain was determined by a retrospective analysis of the CT scans (22) and MR images (7) in 22 patients with pathologically proved HIV encephalitis (21) or meningitis (1). Our clinical-radiologic-pathologic correlation suggested that, especially in the early stages of the disease, CT and MR were relativ...

introduction : tardive dyskinesia is one of the major side effects of long-term neuroleptic treatment. increased reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress has been proposed as possible etiopathologic mechanisms. ginkgo biloba extract (egb) is a natural antioxidant. we investigated the effects of ginkgo biloba extract on neuroleptic-induced orofacial dyskinesia in rats, a potential animal mod...
