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.

Tunnel Syndrome

Anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve is a widely used treatment for cubital tunnel syndrome, but neurolysis performed at the time of surgery may impair the blood supply to the ulnar nerve. This study compared the results of intramuscular anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve with or without preserving the extrinsic vessels of the ulnar nerve in 35 patients. The postoperative nerve conduction velocity and the clinical results were better in the group in which the extrinsic vessels were presented.

Introduction: Chemicals that are present in cigarette/bidi smoke and gutka have been known to cause subclinical changes in myelin sheaths of peripheral nerves. Despite the antiquity and popularity of smoking and gutka chewing, its effect has not been investigated systematically in young adults. Aim: To investigate the chronic effects of smoking and gutka chewing on Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV). Materials and Methods: The case-control study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India, from November 2018 to December 2020. A 40 male smokers (age group 20-60 years), 40 gutka chewers (age group 20-60 years) along with 40 age matched healthy male controls. The nerve conduction study was performed by using fully computerised Electromyography (EMG) and NCV machine. Sensory Nerve Conduction Velocity (SNCV) and Motor Nerve Conduction Velocity (MNCV) test of median and ulnar nerves was performed on subjects. Data was analysed by using unpaired t-test. Results: In this study of comparative analysis of total 120 subjects, [40 controls and 80 cases (40 cases of smokers and tobacco chewers each)], statistically significant changes (p-value <0.05) were found in the sensory NCV of both the nerves and motor NCV of median nerve in smokers whereas no such changes were found in motor NCV of both nerves in gutka chewers. Conclusion: It can be concluded that smoking causes more reduction in NCV than gutka chewing.

Low Level Laser Irradiation

Low level laser therapy is widely used in managing pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal ailments. Its effect on Peripheral nervous system and its function is not yet clearly studied. Objective: To analyze the neurophysiological effect of Low level laser irradiation on ulnar  nerve MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty healthy subjects with age group between 20-30 years of both genders were recruited in this experimental study design.. The procedure was clearly explained  to the subjects and informed consent was obtained. They were  assigned randomly to either Ga. As.Laser group or Sham laser group. All the subject’s were positioned in supine lying with the irradiated dominant hand kept at  135 degrees  of flexion. Ground electrode was placed over the thenar eminence. The subject's skin (electrode placement area) was degreased for proper transmission of laser. Nerve conduction velocity was recorded Antidromically. A 904nm diode  laser was  used to irradiate the skin overlying the ulnar nerve behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus for 20 secs. The laser was set to deliver  continuous energy at 4.0 J/cm².Antidromically  action potential, peak to peak amplitude, onset latency, nerve conduction velocity was recorded before and after irradiation of  the ulnar nerve.            RESULT: The study  revealed that there was a significant difference in onset Latency (P=0.0021) but there was no significant difference in Nerve conduction velocity (P=0.2738) and PPA (P=1.0000) between laser group and sham laser group. CONCLUSIONS: Low level laser irradiation of skin overlying the ulnar nerve resulted in a significant increase in latency in this study. This increase in latency corresponds to a decrease in sensory nerve conduction velocity and could help explain the alleged pain relieving effects of low level laser irradiation.

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.
