Nine patients at risk for critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) were included in a prospective study. We performed nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and a stimulation single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG). Five of 9 patients were diagnosed as CIP because they developed abnormal spontaneous
The American Diabetes Association have recommended that the fasting plasma glucose level for the diagnosis of diabetes is lowered and that this becomes the main diagnostic test. We have used population-based data from three ethnic groups in Newcastle upon Tyne to examine the implications of this cha
Background Continuous hyperglycemia is implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic diabetic complications. It is not well known, however, how and to what extent the development of neuropathy is inhibited by blood glucose control in subjects with Type 2 diabetes. We investigated therefore the effects o
