      Axillary motor nerve conduction study: Description of technique and provision of normative data 

      Zis, Panagiotis; Hadjivassiliou, Marios; Rao, Dasappaiah Ganesh (2018)
      Background Axillary nerve lesions can commonly occur secondary to trauma or brachial plexopathy. Our aim was to describe our technique of axillary nerve motor conduction studies and provide the respective normal values. ...

      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 ...

      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)
      Objectives: The commonest types of peripheral neuropathy in the context of Coeliac Disease (CD) and gluten sensitivity (GS) are length-dependent symmetrical sensorimotor neuropathies and sensory ganglionopathies. In patients ...
