Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy: can a diagnosis be made in patients not fulfilling electrodiagnostic criteria?

2021

Background and purpose The aim was to identify the clinical and diagnostic investigations that may help to support a diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) in patients not fulfilling the European Federation of Neurological Societies and Peripheral Nerve Society (EFNS/PNS) electrodiagnostic criteria. Methods The data from patients with a clinical diagnosis of CIDP included in a national database were retrospectively reviewed. Results In all, 535 patients with a diagnosis of CIDP were included. This diagnosis fulfilled the EFNS/PNS criteria in 468 patients (87.2%) (definite in 430, probable in 33, possible in three, while two had chronic immune sensory p…

Analisi delle proprietà meccaniche di resine epossidiche invecchiate idro-termicamente

Il presente lavoro di tesi è stato prodotto sotto il patrocinio di una borsa di studio finanziata dal Ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca (MIUR) nell’ambito del XXIX Ciclo di Dottorato di Ricerca in Ingegneria dell’Innovazione Tecnologica, attivo presso il Dipartimento dell’Innovazione Industriale e Digitale (DIID) dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, Italia. Il lavoro propone uno studio del comportamento meccanico di resine termoindurenti sottoposte ad invecchiamento idro-termico. In particolare si prendono in considerazione resine epossidiche utilizzate in ambito strutturale: sia per la realizzazione di materiali compositi fibro-rinforzati a matrice polimerica (F…

Relevance of diagnostic investigations in chronic inflammatory demyelinating poliradiculoneuropathy: Data from the Italian CIDP database

2020

The objective of our work was to report the clinical features and the relevance of diagnostic investigations in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). We retrospectively reviewed data from patients with a clinical diagnosis of CIDP included in a national database. Among the 500 included patients with a clinical diagnosis of CIDP, 437 patients (87%) fulfilled the European Federation of Neurological Societies and Peripheral Nerve Society criteria for CIDP (definite in 407, probable in 26, possible in four). In 352 patients (86%) motor nerve conduction abnormalities consistent with demyelination were sufficient for the diagnosis of definite CIDP. In 55 …
