Article Synopsis
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) involves myelin-related issues, small fiber neuropathy (SFN), and axonal degeneration, contributing to severe symptoms and reduced quality of life.
- In vivo corneal confocal microscopy (IVCCM) offers a non-invasive method to study small fiber damage in CIDP patients, with 15 patients assessed alongside 32 healthy controls.
- Results revealed significantly lower corneal nerve fiber density and length in CIDP patients, indicating the potential role of IVCCM as a biomarker for understanding and evaluating this condition.
Introduction: Muscle weakness and easy fatigability are the clinical hallmarks of myasthenia gravis (MG). However, fatigue perception, which can be seen quite often in myasthenic patients, and its effect on the quality of life, irrespective of motor deficit, has not been elucidated yet. The aim is to evaluate the frequency of fatigue in myasthenic patients with nearly full muscle strength and the effect of fatigue on quality of life by assessing its correlation with other symptoms.

Methods: The study included 39 healthy participants (20 female and 19 male) aged 18-77 y. Jitter was expressed as the mean consecutive difference (MCD) of 80-100 consecutive discharges.
Introduction: An increased response to painful stimuli without spontaneous pain suggests a role of central hyperexcitability of pain pathways in the pathogenesis of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). In this study we aimed to test the hypothesis that spinal pain pathways are affected in MPS. We used cutaneous silent period (CSP) parameters to demonstrate the hyperexcitability of spinal pain pathways in MPS.
