A rabbit sensitized with myelin lipid galactocerebroside develops autoimmune demyelinating polyneuropathy. The nerve conduction study was performed prior to sensitization (a) and at the peak of limb ...

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, for the first time ever, have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, ...

A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is used to assess nerve damage and dysfunction. Also known as a nerve conduction study, the procedure measures how quickly electrical signals move through your ...

Dr. Justin Grant, DO, a fellowship-trained sports medicine provider at Colorado Advanced Orthopedics(CAO), is certified in nerve conduction study (NCS) and needle electromyography (EMG). NCS evaluates ...

A novel gene that controls nerve conduction velocity has been identified in a new study. Investigators report that even minor reductions in conduction velocity may aggravate disease in multiple ...

Dr. Paul Christo answers the question: 'What Are Nerve Conduction Studies?' — -- Question: What Are Nerve Conduction Studies And How Do I Know If I Need One? Answer: Nerve conduction studies ...

This week we are going to discuss a diagnostic test which is often ordered to differentiate between diseases of the nerve and muscle, as well as the nerve itself and the myelin sheath of the nerve. A ...

Your muscles move when nerve signals from the brain tell them to get to work. Electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic test, measures how well your muscles respond to those signals. Movement is a complex ...

A nerve conduction velocity test measures the speed of electrical impulses passing through the nerves of the body. In this article, learn about how a nerve conduction velocity or NCV test is used, ...

Since 1995 I have had the interesting experience of working as a neurologist in a large state prison whose primary mission is to provide medical care to inmates. A large proportion of my practice ...
