概括
麻风性神经病,虽然很少见,在西方国家经常被忽视,可以呈现为纯神经性麻风 (PNL). 外围神经活检对于诊断PNL和其他与麻风有关的神经病变至关重要,即使在非流行地区.
科学领域:
- 神经学 神经学
- 传染性疾病 传染性疾病
- 病理学 病理学 病理学
背景情况:
- 麻风性神经病变表现出可变的分布和临床表现,包括单一神经病变,多重单一神经病变和多重神经病变.
- 纯神经性麻风病 (PNL) 可以在没有皮肤或全身症状的情况下发生,这使得诊断具有挑战性,特别是在很少被考虑的西方国家.
- 全球化增加了非流行地区的麻风病例发生率,需要对其神经表现的认识.

01:24Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers
857
Local anesthetics (LAs) block the sodium channels of nerve trunks, sensory nerve endings, and neuromuscular junctions. Although LAs can block all kinds of nerves, the sensitivity of nerve fibers differs according to nerve types and structures. LAs are known to block myelinated fibers faster than unmyelinated ones. Also, they block pain or sensory neurons at low concentrations without affecting the motor neurons involved in muscle contractions. This helps relieve labor pain without affecting the...

01:21Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation
14
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...
