  2. Progressive inflammatory neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_inflammatory...

    Removal from exposure was the first line of treatment. Due to the progressive sensory loss and weakness, various medications were often required. These included intravenous methylprednisolone, oral prednisone, azathioprine, and/or IVIG. [7] All 24 patients improved, including 7 who received no treatment and 17 who required immunosuppressive ...

  3. Peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_neuropathy

    Peripheral neuropathy may be classified according to the number and distribution of nerves affected (mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, or polyneuropathy), the type of nerve fiber predominantly affected (motor, sensory, autonomic), or the process affecting the nerves; e.g., inflammation (), compression (compression neuropathy), chemotherapy (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy).

  4. Inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammatory_demyelinating...

    Inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IDDs), sometimes called Idiopathic (IIDDs) due to the unknown etiology of some of them, are a heterogenous group of demyelinating diseases - conditions that cause damage to myelin, the protective sheath of nerve fibers - that occur against the background of an acute or chronic inflammatory process.

  5. Small fiber neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_fiber_peripheral...

    A skin biopsy for the measurement of epidermal nerve fiber density is an increasingly common technique for the diagnosis of small fiber peripheral neuropathy. [13] Physicians can biopsy the skin with a 3-mm circular punch tool and immediately fix the specimen in 2% paraformaldehyde lysine-periodate or Zamboni's fixative. [ 20 ]

  6. Venipuncture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venipuncture

    A 1996 study of blood donors (a larger needle is used in blood donation than in routine venipuncture) found that 1 in 6,300 donors sustained a nerve injury. [5] Risk and side affects can include a variety of things. Dizziness, sweating, and a drop in your heart rate and blood pressure. [6]

  7. Extravasation (intravenous) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extravasation_(intravenous)

    Extravasation is the leakage of intravenously (IV) infused, and potentially damaging, medications into the extravascular tissue around the site of infusion. The leakage can occur through brittle veins in the elderly, through previous venipuncture access, or through direct leakage from wrongly positioned venous access devices.

  8. Neuropathic pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropathic_pain

    In a nerve decompression, a surgeon explores the entrapment site and removes tissue around the nerve to relieve pressure. [57] In many cases the potential for nerve recovery (full or partial) after decompression is excellent, as chronic nerve compression is associated with low-grade nerve injury ( Sunderland classification I-III) rather than ...

  9. Denervation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denervation

    Denervation can occur as a consequence of nerve injury. The three primary categories of nerve injury are neurapraxia, axonotmesis, and neurotmesis, each corresponding to varying degrees of damage and potential for recovery. In cases of nerve injury, the brain demonstrates an impressive ability to rewire or reorganize its neuronal circuitry ...
