Sensory neuropathy in patients with Pompe disease: a case series in Iran.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
December 2024
Background: Pompe disease is a glycogen storage disease primarily affecting striated muscles. Despite its main manifestation in muscles, patients with Pompe disease may exhibit non-muscle symptoms, such as hearing loss, suggesting potential involvement of sensory organs or the nervous system due to glycogen accumulation.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the presence of concomitant small and large fiber neuropathy in patients with Pompe disease.
Article Synopsis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that arises from nerve compression, and accurately grading its severity is crucial for treatment decisions.
- This study examined 50 patients experiencing CTS, analyzing their electrodiagnostic results and using ultrasound to measure the cross-sectional area of the median nerve at the wrist.
- The results indicated a significant correlation between the severity of CTS and the findings from both ultrasound and electrodiagnosis, showing that the mean measurements increase as the severity of the condition worsens.
Safety and efficacy of placental mesenchymal stromal cells-derived extracellular vesicles in knee osteoarthritis: a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the safety and effectiveness of injecting placental mesenchymal stromal cells-derived extracellular vesicles into knees of patients with osteoarthritis, comparing it to a control group who received saline injections.
- - In a triple-blind, randomized clinical trial involving 62 knees (31 patients), various measures, including pain and function assessments, were taken before and after the treatment, but no significant improvements were found between the two groups after 2 and 6 months.
- - The conclusion highlighted that while the injection was safe with no severe reactions observed, it did not lead to any clinical improvement in knee osteoarthritis symptoms or MRI findings.
Effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation in comparison with routine rehabilitation methods in patients with multiple sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Mult Scler J Exp Transl Clin
September 2024
Introduction: Cognitive rehabilitation includes a set of programs to train the brain, which leads to the improvement of mental and neuro-psychological functions. This meta-analysis was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation in comparison with routine rehabilitation methods in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Methods: The Cochrane Library, ProQuest, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to August 2022.
The etiology of polyneuropathies varies in the pediatric population, where hereditary or metabolic disorders are far more common than in adults. However, treatable polyneuropathies, also prevalent in these settings, are those to prioritize. Moreover, diagnosing subacute and chronic symptoms in children can be challenging compared to adults.
