Resistance to ischemia of motor axons in children with viral meningitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome

Diagnostic transcranial magnetic stimulation in children with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy

“…Вследствие разрушения ми-елиновой оболочки и нарушения возбудимости и проводимости периферических нервов развивает-ся ряд отклонений, в частности их патологическая резистентность к ишемии [2]. Полиневропатии от-носятся к наиболее тяжелым формам поражения периферической нервной системы [3].…”

Statistical analysis of the electrophysiological parameters of motor response to nerve stimulation

“…For example, the degree of the decrease in the nerve conduction velocity, due to the ischemia of the motor fibers of the ulnar nerve, in diabetes mellitus patients without clinical symptoms of polyneuropathy was reported to be significantly lower at the 15th minute of local ischemia of the forearm than in health [3].…”

“…We used the data of the patients described in detail in [3]. We studied 12 children aged 7-17 years with inflammatory polyneuropathy and 23 healthy children aged 6-16 years.…”

“…The pressure in the cuff was pumped to 20-30 mm Hg above the systolic pressure (on average, 140-160 mm Hg) and was maintained during 10 min. The skin temperature was controlled in the region of elevation of the little finger using an IR thermometer, the skin temperature was maintained above 30°C using a warm cushion and covering the limb with a terry cloth [3].…”
