DOI: 10.1007/s10072-019-04145-2
Abstract: Background Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are useful tools for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Establishing the normal values is the first step required for utilizing NCS for diagnosis. Previous epidemiological studies demonstrated the presence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.04.405
Abstract: Introduction In hypokalemic paralysis, hypokalemia-induced inactivity of the muscle fibre Na+K+ ATPase pump is supposed to be responsible for motor inexcitability, resulting reduced or non-recordable CMAP amplitudes. Hence, nerve conduction studies (NCS) mainly includes reversible… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.835812
Abstract: Purpose Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (ATTRv) is caused by mutations in the TTR gene, leading to misfolded monomers that aggregate generating amyloid fibrils. The clinical phenotype is heterogeneous, and characterized by a multisystemic disease… read more here.
