[Electroneuromyographic study of the spastic-ataxic syndrome in multiple sclerosis].

Electroneuromyographical studies were performed in 39 patients with atactic-spastic and mixed forms of disseminated sclerosis. The examinations detected a drop in the velocity of impulse conduction along the tibial nerve in spastic forms and an increase in the velocity of impulse conduction along the medium nerve in atactic forms. The most pronounced were changes in velocity of afferent conduction. The data obtained were compared with electroneuromyographical studies in atactic and spastic syndromes of different origin.

[Syndrome of congenital muscular hypotonia in children ("flabby child" syndrome)].

Clinico-electroneuromyographic examinations of 108 children with the "flabby child" syndrome of various genesis were carried out. A classification of diseases accompanied with muscular hypotonicity in early childhood is suggested. The electroneuromyographic examinations revealed an increase of the speed of impulse transmission along the peripheral nerves, this transmission being the most pronounced in the first two years of the life, and levelled down by the age of 3 to 7 years.

[Electoneuromyography in the study of diseases of the neuromuscular system].

Results of electroneuromyographic examinations of 207 patients with hereditary neuromuscular diseases are presented. Patients with neural amyotrophies showed a sharp slowdown of the speed of impulse transmission along the median and the tibial nerves, a lowering of the induced potentials of the muscle and the nerve, and an increase of the M-response. In patients with spinal amyotrophies a slight lowering of the speed of the impulse transmission along the tibial nerves with the transmission speed along the median nerves being normal, a diminution of the amplitude and a shortening of the duration of the M-response, and an increase of the amplitude of the nerve action potentials were revealed. Patients with myodystrophies exhibited a slowdown of the speed of impulse transmission along the afferent fibres, and increase of the motosensor coefficient, a moderate lowering of the maximal with a tendency to a heightening of the minimal amplitude of the M-response and the nerve action potential.

[Neuromuscular disturbances in endocrine disorders].

In order to study the character of lesions in the neuro-muscular system in endocrinological diseases the authors examined 156 patients with diffuse toxic struma, hypothyroidism and diabetus with the aid of clinico-EMG methods. A comparison of the investigation results of clinical, bioptic material and EMG data testified to an involvement into the process of all regions of the segmental neuromuscular apparatus. The results of EMG studies may serve as control data in relation to the effectiveness of the used therapy.

[Rate of excitation spread along a peripheral nerve in healthy infants in the 1st year of life and in infants who have had intrauterine hypoxia and asphyxia at birth].

The velocity in the extension of excitation through the peripheral nerves was studied in 99 normal babies of the first year and in 135 children with intrauteral hypoxia and asphyxia during delivery. In children with perinatal lesions of the CNS there were changes in the absolute volumes of the velocity of excitation and the rate of its increase compared with the group of normal children. The data correlate with the results of histological studies of the peripheral nerve.

[A clinico-electroneurographic study of brachial plexitis in young children].

In order to study the clinico-electroneurographical correlations in early brachial plexitis of the newborn the authors studied 118 children from the moment of birth up to 1.5-4 years. The depicted disorders were divided into 4 groups: the upper form of Duchenne-Erb--48 cases; the lower forms of Dejerine-Klumpke--27 cases; total forms--31 cases and bilateral forms--12 cases. The most favourable development could be marked in the Duchenne-Erb forms while the most severe development was seen in total forms. The authors stress that electroneurographical studies permit to evaluate objectively the severity of affection, the degree of motor function restoration, the effectiveness of treatment and the prognosis of the disease.
