Distal acquired demyelinating symmetric (DADS) neuropathy is a form of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy (CIDP) which can present many risks to patients undergoing anesthesia. There are currently no specific guidelines for the management of patients with any form of CIDP. This case report describes a 65-year-old male with DADS neuropathy who underwent elective total hip arthroplasty. General, total IV anesthesia was used in combination with other short-acting drugs and the patient endured a successful procedure with an uneventful post-operative course. This case may provide future insight into the anesthetic management of patients with similar comorbidities.

Article Synopsis
- - The diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy involves checking for monoclonal gammopathy, which appears in about 10% of cases, and determining if it's directly related to the neuropathy or just a coincidence.
- - Physicians must understand the types of neuropathies linked to monoclonal gammopathies, their symptoms, and how to properly evaluate and manage them, including various tests like serum protein electrophoresis.
- - Testing for specific conditions, such as AL amyloidosis or POEMS syndrome, depends on the type of monoclonal protein found, and collaboration with oncology is crucial to rule out serious underlying disorders.
Upper and lower limb tremor in inflammatory neuropathies.

Objective: The mechanisms underlying neuropathic tremor remain incompletely understood and a distinction has not been drawn between proximal and distal neuropathies. Lower limb tremor contributes to imbalance in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), but this is unexplored in other neuropathies. We characterized upper and lower limb tremor in chronic immune sensory polyradiculopathy (CISP) and distal acquired demyelinating neuropathy with anti-MAG antibodies (DADS-MAG), contrasted to CIDP.

The pathogenesis of autoimmune demyelinating neuropathies is poorly understood compared to inherited demyelinating forms. We performed whole transcriptome (RNA-Seq) using nerve biopsy tissues of patients with different autoimmune and inherited demyelinating neuropathies (CIDP n = 10, POEMS n = 18, DADS n = 3, CMT1 n = 3) versus healthy controls (n = 6). A limited number of differentially expressed genes compared to healthy controls were identified (POEMS = 125, DADS = 15, CMT = 14, CIDP = 5).

Background And Purpose: We aim to investigate nerve enlargement patterns and their correlation with clinical subtypes and treatment response using nerve ultrasound in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP).
Methods: Between March 2015 and December 2021, 135 CIDP patients were recruited. Nerve ultrasound and electrophysiological studies were performed on the median and ulnar nerves.
Hydrogen Sulfide Interacting with Cannabinoid 2 Receptors during Sciatic Nerve Injury-Induced Neuropathic Pain.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) donors make opioids more effective in inhibiting nociception during inflammatory and neuropathic pain. We examined whether the analgesic, anxiolytic and/or antidepressant actions of the cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) agonist, JWH-133, might be improved by pretreatment with HS donors, DADS and GYY4137 in mice with sciatic nerve injury-provoked neuropathy (CCI). The reversion of the antinociceptive effects of these treatments with the CB2R antagonist, AM630, and the regulatory actions of HS in the phosphorylation of NF-κB inhibitor alpha (IKBα) and in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), CB2R, Nrf2 and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) levels in prefrontal cortex (PFC), ventral hippocampus (vHIP) and periaqueductal gray matter (PAG), were examined.
