Peripheral neuropathy in hypertension
… and may show evidence of subclinical peripheral neuropathy. Hypertension is strongly associated with diabetic neuropathy and the observed sensory loss may be aggravated by hypertension-induced nerve ischaemia and hypoxia. Two studies are presented in this thesis. First, 20 hypertensives and 25 …

Cannabinoid Modulation Of Cisplatin Induced Neuropathy
… produced a reduction in g of force indicative of neuropathy in each study. Gabapentin, thc, and cbd did not alter tactile responses in control mice. Cisplatin allodynia was attenuated by gabapentin, thc, and cbd but was not prevented by either cannabinoid tested. These data demonstrate that thc …

Risk assessment tool for diabetic neuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathy is one of the serious complications of diabetes. Symptoms such as tingling and loss of touch sensation are commonly associated with the early stages of neuropathy causing numbness in the feet. Early detection of this condition is necessary in order to prevent the progression …

Autonomic neuropathy and impotence in Zambian diabetics
… to determine the prevalences of both autonomic neuropathy and impotence in diabetics in Zambia. The subjects of the study group were from those diabetics attending the diabetic outpatient clinic at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia, Three tests were used to diagnose autonomic …

Cardiovascular components of organophosphorus-induced delayed neuropathy
… All hens developed clinical signs of delayed neuropathy by day 10 and these signs were maximal by day 20. Alterations of measured parameters were observed prior to the onset of clinical signs of organophosphorus-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN) (days 1, 3, and 7) as well as when maximal …

Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Auditory Neuropathy
Auditory Neuropathy (AN) is diagnosed when the auditory brainstem response (ABR) is absent and outer hair cells (OHC) function normally, which indicates that the lesion lies in the inner hair cells (IHC), their afferent nerve’s synapse or the auditory nerve. While the presence of non-syndromic …

Prevalence and treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy
… complications are also rising. Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a well-known complication of diabetes and the most common cause of all neuropathic pain. About one-third of all diabetes patients suffer from PDN. The reported prevalence of PDN varies from 11% in Rochester, Minnesota, USA to …

HIV-associated sensory neuropathy in an African cohort a longitudinal study of risk factors predisposing to antiretroviral induced painful neuropathy
Distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) amongst human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients is frequently a painful and disabling condition. HIV-associated DSP is either a consequence of HIV (HIV-DSP) or antiretroviral-induced toxic neuropathy (ATN). The purpose of this research was to …

PARESTHESIA DUE TO PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY: ANXIETY AND WELLBEING
… is the most common cause of peripheral neuropathy (PN) as well as paresthesia. This study aimed to test the following hypotheses: (1) if paresthesia due to PN is positively correlated with anxiety, negatively correlated with wellbeing, and if (2) anxiety and (3) wellbeing varied …

Analysis of nerve terminal dysfunction in autoimmune neuropathy
… studies on the pathophysiology of the autoimmune neuropathy, Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), monoclonal antibodies to the disialosyl epitopes on GQ1b, GT1a and GD3 gangliosides have been produced. Antibodies to these complex gangliosides are thought to be crucial in the pathogenesis of MFS. These …

Mechanisms of Astrocyte Contribution to Bortezomib-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
… accompanied by chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) that may be dose-limiting, adversely affecting quality of life and prognosis. The mechanisms behind bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy (BIPN) and CIPN overall are largely unknown. Recent findings in other pain models have …

Taurine depletion and Schwann cell dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy
… from diabetes, 50% of whom suffer from diabetic neuropathy. Patients with diabetes have low levels of platelet and plasma taurine and in animal models taurine supplementation ameliorates neuropathic symptoms. The mechanisms behind Taurine depletion and taurine supplementation are not well …

Genetics of hearing impairment and peripheral neuropathy in Mali
… (CMT), is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy (IPN) with a high clinical and genetic heterogeneity and over 100 genes are related to CMT, mostly in populations of Caucasian ancestry. Yet, despite being described more than 130 years ago, there remains a paucity of information on its …

Evolution of sensory neuropathy after initiation of antiretroviral therapy
Introduction: We studied the evolution of sensory neuropathy after antiretroviral therapy (ART) in human immunodeficiency virus–infected South Africans. Methods: Enrolment commenced before ART with 6-monthly follow-ups for 24 months. Symptomatic distal sensory polyneuropathy (SDSP) was defined as …

Investigating Mechanisms of Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor Induced Sensory Neuropathy
… is well controlled show peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN), supporting the idea that the ART may cause PSN. Although the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) used in the ART are thought to contribute to PSN, the mechanisms underlying the PSN induced by NRTIs are unclear. This …

A transgenic mouse model of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy
… in the heterozygous state, is associated with CH neuropathy in humans. This mutation is predicted to encode a truncated PO protein, lacking part of the cytoplasmic domain. Expression analysis demonstrated that Q215X heterozygous mice produce both wildtype PO and a smaller, truncated PO …

Neuronal Toxicity of Humoral Factors From Patients With Diabetic Neuropathy and Mechanism of Neuronal Death on Cultured Adrenergic Neurons: Studies of Autoimmune Pathogenesis in Diabetic Neuropathy
<p>Diabetic neuropathy is an extremely common medical problem because of the high frequency of diabetes and its complications. Diabetic neuropathy consists of not one, but many patterns of nerve injury, each potentially with its own discrete pathogenic mechanisms. Evidence is accumulating that …
