Chronic Lead Intoxication

Relatively high positive correlation between lead content in biologic environment and indices of porphyrinic exchange in patients with neurogenic form of chronic polyneuropathy has been determined. In risk group such correlation was absent. Clinical symptoms, change in electric neuromyography, indices of porphyrinic exchange and lead content in biologic environment has been studied in 92 workers engaged in making lead and exposed to small average concentrations of it close to the limiting permissible concentration during the working day. Progression of chronic lead intoxication, the initial form of which clinically reveals in 124 years by vegetosensoric polyneuropathy of upper and lower extremities and intrinsic changes in electric neuromyography indices has been determined. Isolated symptoms of polyneuropathy and lowering of the indicated parameters of electric neuromyography by 510% are revealed in preclinical stage (risk signs). The nature of electric neuromyography changes points to segmental myelinopathy.

Peripheral nervous system (PNS) damage is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus. There may be different PNS damage types that differ in clinical symptoms and pathogenesis. A clinical case of diabetic cervicobrachial radiculoplexopathy is presented for the first time in Russia. The paper discusses the clinical features of this type versus diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexopathy, instrumental diagnosis of diabetic radiculoplexopathies, pathogenetic mechanisms of the disease, and treatment approaches. It shows the efficacy of alpha-lipoic acid supplementation in a patient with diabetic radiculoplexopathy.

Neuroborreliosis is one of the manifestations of Lyme disease involving central and peripheral nervous system. It is caused by infection with Borrelia burgdorferi spirochete which is transmitted by tick bites. Neuroborreliosis can affect both adults and children. The clinical course in children is often different than in adults. The article discusses the most common clinical symptoms, complications, diagnostics and treatment of neuroborreliosis in children.

Diagnostic and tactical errors in the management of patients with traumatic neuropathies of the limbs are considered. Attention is drawn to the problem of treatment of traumatic lesions of the peripheral nerves and the organization of medical care in modern conditions for patients with this pathology. The paper describes the difficulties encountered in the differential diagnosis and interpretation of the clinical picture of peripheral nervous system damage, as well as the possibilities of neurophysiological and neuroimaging methods of diagnosis, describes the most common variants of innervation. The most common traumatic neuropathies after medical interventions are presented. It is established that a high degree of mechanization of production, an increase in the number of road accidents, growing household injuries and the mass introduction into everyday life of extreme sports lead to an increase in injuries of the peripheral nervous system. The article pays special attention to the organization of medical care for patients in hospital conditions, as well as the main subjective and objective causes of errors in practitioners during topical diagnosis and treatment of nerve injuries. Attention is drawn to the fact that in order to provide modern high-tech medical care for damage to the nerves of the upper and lower extremities, specialists of surgical and neurological profile need to know the architectonics of the peripheral nervous system and the basic laws of degenerative-regenerative processes in damage to the nerves and plexuses. Rational therapy of victims of this profile should be planned and implemented in the early period of traumatic disease.

After the emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus(SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in the last two decades, the world is facing its new challenge in SARS-CoV-2 pandemic with unfathomable global responses. The characteristic clinical symptoms for Coronavirus (COVID-19) affected patients are high fever, dry-cough, dyspnoea, lethal pneumonia whereas some patients also show few additional neurological signs such as headache, nausea, vomiting. The accumulative evidences suggest that Coronavirus is not only confined within the respiratory tract and that may also invade in central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS) inducing some fatal Neurological diseases. Here we analyse the phylogenetic perspective of SARS-CoV2 with other strains of β-Coronaviridae from a standpoint of neurological spectrum disorders. Based on the existing case reports, literature and open data-bases, we also analyse the differential distribution of neurological impairments in COVID-19 positive patients along with angiotensin-converting enzyme-2(ACE2) expression dynamics in neuronal and non-neuronal tissue of central and peripheral nervous system. Besides, we discuss the need for modulations in clinical approach from a neurological point of view, as a measure towards reducing disease transmission, morbidity and mortality in SARS-CoV2 positive patients.
