[Peripheral nerve disorders as common diseases].

Brain Nerve

Department of Neurology, Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University.

Published: September 2013

Peripheral neuropathy occurs as a component of several common and rare diseases. It is heterogeneous in cause, diverse in pathology, and varied in severity. The term peripheral neuropathy includes symmetric polyneuropathy, single and multiple mononeuropathy, and radiculopathy. The major disorders include diabetic neuropathy, alcoholic neuropathy, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The incidence of cancer chemotherapy-induced neuropathy has been increasing substantially. Although the estimated prevalence of all different peripheral neuropathies is considerably high, possibly affecting 10% of the entire population, there is no existing systematic epidemiological study on all the aspects of peripheral nerve disorders. Neurologists should contribute to both fundamental and symptomatic treatments of patients seen in other sections. The important symptomatic therapies include treatments for neuropathic pain and autonomic dysfunction. There is increasing role for neurologists in treating HIV-related and anti-HIV drug-induced neuropathy. More active collaboration with neurologists, oncologists, and general physicians is necessary to improve the quality of life in patients with peripheral nerve disorders.

Alternative to the cervical approach for total temporomandibular joint prosthesis: a case series.

J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg

March 2025

Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Hôpital de la Croix Rousse, 103 grande rue de la Croix Rousse, 69004 Lyon, France; Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Hôpital Nord, Avenue Albert Raimond, 42000 Saint-Priest-en-Jarez, France.

Purpose: New-generation total temporomandibular joint prostheses have demonstrated their efficacy and low morbidity. However, their implantation requires a dual external approach, which can result in significant aesthetic and functional sequelae. The authors have therefore developed an alternative technique that avoids the cervical route.

Background: General anesthesia (GA) combined with regional anesthesia (RA) is commonly used to enhance perioperative analgesia and hemodynamic stability. This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic effects and postoperative cognitive function between remimazolam tosylate and propofol in patients undergoing GA combined with RA.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 4408 patients who underwent elective upper or lower limb surgeries at our institution from January 2020 to June 2024.

Biallelic pathogenic variants at TK2 lead to a severe and progressive myopathy (TK2d). For a disease with unspecific clinical findings, and the possibility of a supplementation therapy that changes the natural history of the disease, highlighting clinical features that increase suspicion and accelerate diagnosis is essential. Clinical and genetic findings of 36 Brazilian patients with TK2d were identified and presented in this work.

Retinal findings in pediatric idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

J AAPOS

March 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts. Electronic address:

Background: Pediatric and adult idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) have distinct clinical features. Retinal manifestations associated with adult IIH are well known and can limit visual function; however, data detailing these manifestations in pediatric IIH are sparse. The purpose of this study was to identify the range and effects of retinal manifestations in pediatric IIH focusing on associated visual and structural outcomes.
