Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the rising neurological complications from nitrous oxide (NO) abuse, particularly focusing on two main types of nerve damage: axonal and demyelinating neuropathy.
- Researchers examined 35 patients with sensorimotor symptoms linked to recreational NO use, gathering a variety of data to categorize their conditions and assess metabolic factors.
- Findings reveal that many patients had length-dependent axonal neuropathy, while a significant portion presented demyelinating features, with metabolic markers like homocysteine and methylmalonic acid varying between the two groups, suggesting these may help in understanding the condition better.
Purpose: To evaluate the prostate cancer (PCa) detection rate in men with chronic use of Aspirin and to compare it with the detection rate of non-users.
Patients And Methods: Prospectively maintained database regarding patients undergoing prostate biopsy over the last 10 years in five institutions. Patients were divided into two groups according to their exposure to Aspirin.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is related to PMP22 gene duplication. It is characterized at electrodiagnostic testing (EDX) by diffuse homogeneous signs of demyelination, such as velocity slowing and prolonged distal latencies. These abnormalities are less pronounced in infants under two years old, and the possibility of normal nerve conduction studies (NCS) in infants with CMT1A under one year of age has been questioned.

Introduction: The etiology of lower-limb neurological deficit after vaginal delivery remains poorly understood. The objective herein was to identify factors associated with this maternal nerve injury after vaginal delivery.
Material And Methods: A single-center, case-control (matching 1:4) study.
