Background: Pesticides are very harmful for human health especially for farmers who are more in contact with them. Objective: To compare Nerve Conduction Test among agricultural workers exposed to pesticide and non-agricultural workers. Method: A sample size of 83 in each group was selected. A pretested questionnaire was prepared comprising of socio-demographic profile, work practices followed by agricultural pesticide sprayers, detail clinical history & findings of Nerve Conduction Test. Result: The mean Latency in occasional pesticide sprayer was 3.12 ± 0.95 and in regular pesticide sprayer was 3.88 ± 1.08, on applying student t test the result was observed to be significant. The mean conduction velocity in occasional pesticide sprayer was 52.95 ± 11.28 and regular pesticide sprayer was 43.96 ± 12.34, on applying student t test the result was significant.  Conclusion: agricultural workers, pesticide sprayers, nerve conduction test, occupational health  Keywords: Pesticide, agriculture workers, Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) test, Personal Protective Equipments (PPE).

Lateralization of peripheral nerve conduction velocity was studied in right-handed men ( n = 40) and women ( n = 48). Sensory and motor velocities were measured in ulnar and median nerves of the right and left hands. In women, the mean sensory velocity was significantly faster in the left than the right hand. There were no significant right-left differences in men. The mean sensory velocity from the right hand was significantly slower in women than men, creating an asymmetric organization of sensory conduction in women. Estradiol in women and testosterone in men were suggested as playing a role in asymmetric and symmetric nerve conductions, respectively.

Background: In Leprosy disease involves peripheral nerves in the course of the disease leading to gross deformities and disabilities. By the time it becomes clinically apparent, the nerve damage is already quite advanced. If the preclinical damage is detected early in the course of disease, it can be prevented further deformities and disabilities. Materials and Methods: This electrophysiological case-control study was conducted on 24(Cases;13, Controls:11) patients with clinically diagnosed leprosy, in the Dermatology Department of Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi(M), Wardha. This study was done to assess the mean nerve conduction velocity, mean amplitude and mean latency of motor ulnar and median nerve. Results and Conclusion: We found decreased mean amplitude in motor median and ulnar nerve, reduced mean conduction velocity in motor ulnar nerve besides no changes in mean latency in the median and ulnar nerves.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to determine normative electrophysiological reference values of median sensory nerve conduction studies among security guards with the palmaris longus tendon (PLT). Methods Sensory nerve conduction studies of the median nerve using antidromic and orthodromic methods were conducted in the upper limbs of 101 healthy male security guards between the ages of 21 and 42 years. The presence of the PLT was recorded in both hands using a standard test. A scatter plot was used to determine the correlation between different parameters using the ortho and antidromic methods. Results The mean age (years), weight (kg), height (cm), and BMI (kg/m2) were 28.77 ± 5.14, 70.53 ± 11.28, 171.71 ± 7.12, and 23.91 ± 3.45, respectively. In the median nerve (sensory) by antidromic method, the mean distal latency (DL) was 2.65 ± 0.33 ms and 2.64 ± 0.37, SNCV (sensory nerve conduction velocity) was 53.45 ± 5.28 m/s and 53.84 ± 5.68 and the amplitude was 27.33 ± 12.38 µV and 29.41 ± 12.97 in the left- and right-hand wrist, respectively. By orthodromic method the DL was 2.54 ± 0.53 ms and 2.51 ± 0.44, SNCV was 55.93 ± 6.09 m/s and 55.93 ± 5.24 and the sensory nerve action potential amplitude was 12.00 ± 8.82 µV and 11.72 ± 6.24 in the left and right hand, respectively. Spearman correlations were used to determine the variables influenced by hand sidedness. Conclusions The normative reference parameters of sensory nerve conduction velocity of the median nerve were established by both methods using a standardized technique.

Objective: This observational study was conducted during the year 2016–2017 to assess the electrodiagnostic evidence of peripheral nerve dysfunction among newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients attending a tertiary care hospital and to find the effect of hormonal treatment after short duration. Methods: An observational study was conducted in 25 newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients with the age group of 20–60 were included. After obtaining informed consent, all participants were examined with electrodiagnostic workup performed at the initial time of diagnosis and after short duration for median and ulnar nerves of upper limb by (NeuroStim -NS2, EMG/EP/NCV, and MEDICAID SYSTEMS). Electrophysiological parameters such as distal motor latency, amplitude, and conduction velocity were evaluated. Results: The mean age of study population was 42.7±12.1 (23–61) years. The mean values of nerve conduction velocity of motor and sensory median before the treatment were 42.8±15.7 and 40.13±4.19 and motor and sensory ulnar before treatment were 41.18±22.4 and 39.46±11.9. The mean values of nerve conduction velocity of motor and sensory median after treatment were 53.35±4.7 and 57.3±5.6 and motor and sensory ulnar After treatment were 54.56±2.99 and 54.09±12.17. The result of the study. Shows that there were reduction of conduction velocity before treatment and statistically significant after 3 months duration of treatment with appropriate doses. Conclusion: After treatment, total triiodothyronine, total thyroxin, free triiodothyronine, free thyroxin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and median and ulnar nerve motor and sensory functions were normal with appropriate treatment. The involvement of sensory fibers is more than that of the motor fibers.
