Miller Fisher Syndrome in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection: A Systematic Review.

Background And Purpose: Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a subtype of Guillain-Barré syndrome characterized by the triad of ophthalmoparesis, areflexia, and ataxia. Although cases of MFS have been associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, no studies have synthesized the clinical characteristics of patients with this condition.

Methods: In this rapid systematic review, we searched the PubMed database to identify studies on MFS associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Carpal tunnel syndrome observed after an arbovirus infection: A preliminary case series report.

Purpose: Report a case series study of individuals who, after having a suspected arboviral disease during an epidemic outbreak in north-eastern Brazil, presented symptoms of acroparesthesia.

Methods: A retrospective evaluation of patients with acroparesthesia undertaken between December 2015 and October 2016 following a clinical picture suggestive of an arboviral infection.

Results: Clinical and electrophysiological data were obtained from 29 individuals.

Evaluation of muscle strength, balance and functionality of individuals with type 2 Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is part of a group of genetically determined neuropathies. The intrinsic muscles of the feet and legs are affected early in the disease, impacting balance and mobility.

Research Question: The purpose of this study was to evaluate individuals with type 2 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease to understand how motor changes interfere in balance and function.

Epidemiologic Study of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: A Systematic Review.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited neuropathy. CMT is classified into 2 main subgroups: CMT type 1 (CMT1; demyelinating form) and CMT type 2 (CMT2; axonal form). The objectives of this study were to systematically review and assess the quality of studies reporting the incidence and/or prevalence of CMT worldwide.

Evaluation of Respiratory Muscle Strength and Pulmonary Function in Patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 2.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the pulmonary condition in a large family with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2). Eighteen participants diagnosed with CMT2 and 20 healthy individuals were evaluated by spirometry and maximal expiratory and maximal inspiratory pressures (MEP and MIP, respectively). Clinical disability was measured with CMT neuropathy score (CMTNS; range 0-36).
