Optic nerve hypoplasia: absence of posterior pituitary bright signal on magnetic resonance imaging correlates with diabetes insipidus. (see comments). Am J Ophthalmol 1996; 122: 717–723.

The footpad epidermal nerve fiber density of WT mice with diabetes was reduced compared with control foot pads at and after 3 months of diabetes (Figure 5 and Table 6 ).

Pathological structural changes within the diabetic PNS include morphological and functional changes within peripheral nerve axons, the dorsal root ganglion, and epidermal nerve fibers. [3, 4 ...

Key Findings: Analysis identified four central mechanisms consistently shared by CRPS and CD: 1) Small-fiber neuropathy defined by reductions in intraepidermal nerve fiber density and altered ...

Kelley, M.A. and Hackshaw, K.V. (2021) Intraepidermal Nerve Fiber Density as Measured by Skin Punch Biopsy as a Marker for Small Fiber Neuropathy Application in Patients with Fibromyalgia. Diagnostics ...

The layer of myelin that protects the nerve fibers is fatty and repels water when it’s undamaged. If the myelin has been damaged, however, this fat content is reduced or stripped away entirely ...

Electrical stimulation is usually applied percutaneously for facilitating peripheral nerve regeneration. However, few studies have conducted long-term monitoring of the condition of nerve regeneration ...

You may know dandelion as a stubborn weed in your garden, but this plant may also benefit your health. Discover 13 potential health benefits of dandelion.

Single fiber action potentials (SFAPs) from peripheral nerves, such as recorded with cuff electrodes, can be modelled as the convolution of a source current and a weight function that describes the ...

CLINICAL evaluation of small fiber neuropathy (SFN) remains inconsistent across neurology subspecialties, with survey data revealing wide variation in diagnostic practices, even when faced with common ...

According to Uppsala University, researchers have successfully used 3D printing to produce lab-grown models that closely resemble human nerve tissue —potentially accelerating drug development for ...
