Does the type of electrode affect the electromyoneurographic parameters in rats?

Acta cir. bras; 34 (3), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate if the type of electrode (needle vs. surface) affects the electromyoneurography parameters in rats. Methods: Twenty male rats were anesthetized, then compound muscle action potential were recorded using a Neuropack S1 MEB- 9400©. All animals were submitted to two electro...

Is phrenic nerve conduction affected in patients with difficult-to-treat asthma?

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to obtain data on phrenic neuroconduction and electromyography of the diaphragm muscle in difficult-to-treat asthmatic patients and compare the results to those obtained in controls. Methods The study consisted of 20 difficult-to-treat asthmatic patients com...

Phrenic nerve conduction studies: normative data and technical aspects

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (12), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the present study was to define normative data of phrenic nerve conduction parameters of a healthy population. Methods: Phrenic nerve conduction studies were performed in 27 healthy volunteers. Results: The normative limits for expiratory phrenic nerve compound muscle ac...

Alteración de las fibras finas A-delta por entrampamiento del nervio mediano en la muñeca utilizando el período silente cutáneo
The impairment of A-delta fibers in median nerve compression at the wrist, using the cutaneous silent period

Medicina (B.Aires); 76 (4), 2016
El síndrome del túnel carpiano (STC) es una neuropatía por entrampamiento a nivel de la muñeca que cursa con dolor, parestesias y disestesias dolorosas. El diagnóstico electrofisiológico se basa en el estudio de la neuroconducción de las fibras gruesas. Nuestra hipótesis consiste en la existencia...

Clinical and neurophysiological features of the hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy due to the 17p11. 2 deletion

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 74 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT The hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autossomal dominant disorder manifesting recurrent mononeuropathies. Objective Evaluate its clinical and nerve conduction studies (NCS) characteristics, searching for diagnostic particularities. Method We reviewed the neur...
