Borås hospital, Region Västra Götaland, Borås, Sweden; Department of Rehabilitation medicine, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of electromyography at a polio clinic in identifying unperceived muscle denervation. Second, to compare people who perceived themselves as weak in 1 or both legs with those who did not.
Design: Cross-sectional study.

November 2024
Department of Vascular Surgery, Hadassah Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel.
Background: Isolated peripheral artery aneurysms are very rare, appearing in fewer than 2% of the general population. The literature reports a few case reports of poliomyelitis patients presenting with unilateral leg paralysis that presented with peripheral aneurysms in the contralateral leg.
Objectives: To compare lower limb arterial diameters in poliomyelitis patients and screen these patients for peripheral aneurysms.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on diagnosing Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) in children referred to a pediatric emergency unit between 2011 and 2016.
- The most common diagnoses were Guillain-Barré Syndrome (80 cases), acute viral myositis (20 cases), Transverse Myelitis Syndrome (6 cases), and Vaccine-Associated Paralytic Poliomyelitis (6 cases), with all patients testing negative for poliovirus.
- A unique case of a 2.5-month-old patient presented with symptoms compatible with viral meningitis, highlighting the importance of considering a range of diagnoses when evaluating AFP in children.
Differentiation of Post-Polio Syndrome from Prior Poliomyelitis Sequela by Assessing Paraspinal Muscle Involvement in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
J Clin Med
August 2024
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Koç University School of Medicine, 34450 Istanbul, Turkey.
Post-polio syndrome (PPS) affects former polio patients, manifesting decades after initial infection with progressive symptoms like pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Diagnosis relies on the clinical criteria and exclusion of other probable causes. The purpose of this study is to determine the scope and new diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying muscle involvement in PPS and distinguishing it from prior poliomyelitis (PPM).
