1. Estudo da progressão da diabetes e da neuropatia periférica: classificação da severidade e caracterização cinética da locomoção / Study of the progression of diabetes and peripheral neuropathy: classification of the severity and kinetic characterization of locomotion
Esta tese assumiu a premissa de que a neuropatia periférica é um sinal de piora da diabetes, além de levantar a questão de que estudos prévios sobre a biomecânica da marcha de diabéticos não têm distinguido os graus de progressão da diabetes nos grupos estudados. Neste contexto, não é possível identificar as diferenças nos padrões de geração

2. Plantar thermography is useful in the early diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated plantar thermography sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing diabetic polyneuropathy using cardiac tests (heart rate variability) as a reference standard because autonomic small fibers are affected first by this disease. METHODS: Seventy-nine individuals between the ages of 19 and 79 years old (28 males) were evaluated and

3. Comorbidity of psychiatric disorders and symmetric distal polyneuropathy among type II diabetic outpatients
The objective of the present study was to establish the frequency of psychiatric comorbidity in a sample of diabetic patients with symmetric distal polyneuropathy (SDPN). Sixty-five patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected consecutively to participate in the study at Instituto Estadual de Diabetes e Endocrinologia. All patients were submitted to

4. Effects of aldose reductase inhibitor treatment in diabetic polyneuropathy - a clinical and neurophysiological study.
The efficacy of treatment with an aldose reductase inhibitor (1,3-dioxo-1 H-benz-de-isoquinoline-2(3H)-acetic acid, AY-22,284, Alrestatin) on peripheral nerve function in diabetic polyneuropathy was assessed. Thirty patients with long-standing diabetes and slight to moderate neuropathy participated in the double-blind placebo trial. Clinical examination, sen

5. Graded assessment and classification of impaired temperature sensibility in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy.
Thermal sensibility was quantitatively assessed in the feet of 46 diabetic patients. In subjects with sensibility deficits the perception threshold for warmth or cold, or of heat pain, was either increased or lost. Four stages of impaired thermal sensibility were defined, and a classification of dysfunction is proposed which could be useful in routine clinic

6. Acute effects of alcohol on the peripheral nerves in diabetic polyneuropathy: a clinical and neurophysiological study.
Acute effects of alcohol on the peripheral nerves of seven patients with diabetic polyneuropathy and 13 healthy subjects were examined neurophysiologically. Ethanol (1 g/kg) caused a slight increase in skin temperature and motor conduction velocity in both groups. Motor distal latencies decreased in the healthy subjects, but increased among polyneuropathic p

10. Peripheral nerve function in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion.
In order to study the effects of improved metabolic control on painful diabetic polyneuropathy, 15 patients were treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion over a 12 month period. Polyneuropathy was assessed by pain score, neurological examinations, nerve conduction studies and determination of sensory thresholds and cardiovascular reflexes. Impro

11. Increased permeability across the blood-nerve barrier of albumin glycated in vitro and in vivo from patients with diabetic polyneuropathy.
The blood-nerve transfer of human plasma albumin glycated with D-glucose was investigated by measuring the permeability coefficient-surface area product (PS) of the blood-nerve barrier to radioiodinated albumin in normal adult rat sciatic nerve. Human albumin (ALB) from normal individuals, freshly isolated by CM-Affi-Gel Blue affinity chromatography, was gly

12. The effect of skin temperature on vibratory sensitivity in polyneuropathy.
In normal subjects, a rise in skin temperature causes a decrease in vibratory perception thresholds. In this study, vibratory thresholds on the foot were measured before and after local warming of the skin in patients with diabetic or uraemic neuropathy. On warming, the thresholds increased in nine of 11 diabetic patients while they decreased in 10 of 13 ura
