On the basis of assay of heavy metals in whole blood (lead, cadimum, chromium, copper, nickel and manganese) and delta-amino-levulinic-acid dehydrase (ALA-D) and ALA in urine in a normal Danish population, the levels of these clinco-chemical factors were assayed in 23 patients with peripheral
OBJECTIVE
Restoration of physiological alignment of the distal tibia and thereby restoration of physiological loading of the ankle joint; joint preservation in asymmetric degenerative arthritis of the ankle.
METHODS
Congenital deformities of the distal tibia; acquired deformities of the distal
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) has been an available operation for weight loss for the past decade, and bariatric surgery is increasing in the United States. Careful patient screening and follow-up have been the cornerstone for success against the complexities of morbid obesity.
Cylindrical spirals are abnormal uniform membranous inclusions in skeletal muscle, usually confined to type 2 fibers. Hitherto, only five cases have been published with various clinical syndromes. Here, a case is presented for the first time with detailed electrophysiological, histometrical, and
Twenty of 23 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) showed electrophysiologic evidence of peripheral nerve dysfunction. Abnormalities of sensory nerve conduction were most common, affecting the sural nerve (20 subjects), ulnar nerve (11), radial nerve (eight), and median nerve
Peripheral nervous system alterations during chronic obstructive airways disease (COAD) with respiratory insufficiency seem more frequent than usual neurological practice would suggest. Almost a third of COAD patients have clinical evidence of peripheral neuropathy and two thirds have
Chronic alcohol abuse causes several distinct diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. Widely known are the alcohol withdrawal syndrome, alcohol-induced epileptic seizures, alcoholic polyneuropathy and myopathy, and Wernicke's encephalopathy. Beside these complications, less common
ABT-594, a neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ligand, is 30- to 100-fold more potent than morphine in animal models of nociceptive and neuropathic pain. Efficacy and safety of ABT-594 in subjects with painful diabetic polyneuropathy was evaluated in a phase 2 study. The objective of this work
Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) is a rare neurodegenerative condition characterized by slowly progressive spastic weakness of the lower limbs and urinary sphincter dysfunction. Complex HSP involves additional neurologic symptoms and signs like ataxia, extra pyramidal signs, polyneuropathy, and
BACKGROUND
Using a stereologic approach, the density of nerve fibers innervating sweat gland (SG) fragments in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and healthy controls using protein gene product (PGP), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) was measured to determine
OBJECTIVE
ABT-594 is a non-opioid, non-NSAID analgesic. The objective of this work was to characterize the population pharmacokinetics of ABT-594 in subjects with neuropathic pain.
METHODS
Efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ABT-594 in subjects with painful diabetic polyneuropathy were
Increased depression, hearing loss, dementia, alcoholism, and mortality in essential tremor patients remain unexplained. We investigated whether conditions associated with tremor are linked to chronic stress.
The FY2013 Veterans Affairs database was queried for 38 selected dual diagnosis
