      Anti-MAG associated cerebellar ataxia and response to rituximab 

      Zis, Panagiotis; Rao, Dasappaiah Ganesh; Hoggard, Nigel; Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios; Hadjivassiliou, Marios (2018)
      BACKGROUND: Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is a glycoprotein specific to Schwann cells. Schwann cells produce myelin for nerve cells in the peripheral nervous system. MAG also plays a role in the central nervous ...

      Anxiety and depression in patients with suspected carpal tunnel syndrome – A case controlled study 

      McCallum, Lucy Moira; Damms, Nicholas Anthony; Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios; Zis, Panagiotis (2019)
      Purpose Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common entrapment neuropathy causing significant, and often disabling, pain. We aimed to establish the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients who were referred ...

      Electrophysiological determinants of the clinical severity of axonal peripheral neuropathy 

      Zis, Panagiotis; Hadjivassiliou, Marios; Rao, Dasappaiah Ganesh; Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios (2019)
      INTRODUCTION: Electrophysiological diagnosis of axonal peripheral neuropathy (PN) is based on the attenuated amplitudes of nerve conduction studies (NCS), or a reduced sural/radial amplitude ratio (SRAR). We aimed to ...

      Gluten neuropathy: prevalence of neuropathic pain and the role of gluten-free diet 

      Zis, Panagiotis; Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios; Rao, Dasappaiah Ganesh; Hadjivassiliou, Marios (2018)
      Peripheral neuropathy is a common extraintestinal manifestation of gluten sensitivity (gluten neuropathy). We aimed to establish the prevalence of neuropathic pain in patients with otherwise idiopathic PN and gluten ...

      Increased Oxidative Stress as a Risk Factor in Chronic Idiopathic Axonal Polyneuropathy 

      Zis, Panagiotis; McHugh, Patrick C.; Manca, Maurizio; Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios; Rao, Dasappaiah Ganesh; Hadjivassiliou, Marios (2018)
      Chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP) is a disorder with insidious onset and slow progression, where no etiology is identified despite appropriate investigations. We aimed to investigate the role of oxidative ...

      Pain as a determinant of health-related quality of life in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome 

      Damms, Nicolas Anthony; McCallum, Lucy Moira; Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios; Zis, Panagiotis (2020)
      Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an entrapment neuropathy accounting for up to 90% of nerve compression syndromes. It causes both positive and negative symptoms in the hands. These symptoms, especially pain, ...

      Quality of Life in Patients with Gluten Neuropathy: A Case-Controlled Study 

      Zis, Panagiotis; Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios; Rao, Dasappaiah Ganesh; Hadjivassiliou, Marios (2018)
      Background: Gluten neuropathy (GN) is defined as an otherwise idiopathic peripheral neuropathy in the presence of serological evidence of gluten sensitivity (positive native gliadin antibodies and/or transglutaminase or ...

      Small fiber neuropathy in coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity 

      Zis, Panagiotis; Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios; Rao, Dasappaiah Ganesh; Sanders, David Surendran; Hadjivassiliou, Marios (2019)

      Tibial motor and sural electrophysiological relationship in subjects without and patients with mild axonal peripheral neuropathy 

      Julian, Thomas Henry; Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios; Girach, Ayesha; Zis, Panagiotis (2020)
      The distal motor fibers of the tibial and sural nerves are predominantly derived from the S1 root. We aimed to describe the electrophysiological relationship of these two nerves. Clinical, radiological and neurophysiological ...

      Tremor after long term lithium treatment 

      Sarrigiannis, Ptolemaios Georgios; Zis, Panagiotis; Unwin, Zoe Charlotte; Blackburn, Daniel J.; Hoggard, Nigel; Zhao, Yifan; Billings, Stephen A.; Khan, Aijaz A.; Yianni, John; Hadjivassiliou, Marios (2019)
      Tremor is a common side effect of treatment with lithium. Its characteristics can vary and when less rhythmical, distinction from myoclonus can be difficult.
