[Value of electromyography in the study of polyneuropathy caused by industrial glues]. 1975

G Sanna, and R Balbi

The Authors have studied 47 patients with manufacturing glue neuropathy by electromiography and motor and sensitive nerve conduction velocity recording in medianus, ulnaris and sciatic nerves. The evolution of the disease was studied during two years. From these data, on the basis of recent complete bibliography, the speculated abant the place of damage and the pathogenesis of this professional disease. There was demonstrated the importance of EMG in the earlyer diagnosis and in the medical and legal evaluation of the consequential damages of those diseases.

D011115	Polyneuropathies	Diseases of multiple peripheral nerves simultaneously. Polyneuropathies usually are characterized by symmetrical, bilateral distal motor and sensory impairment with a graded increase in severity distally. The pathological processes affecting peripheral nerves include degeneration of the axon, myelin or both. The various forms of polyneuropathy are categorized by the type of nerve affected (e.g., sensory, motor, or autonomic), by the distribution of nerve injury (e.g., distal vs. proximal), by nerve component primarily affected (e.g., demyelinating vs. axonal), by etiology, or by pattern of inheritance.
