Synopsis Biopsy Diagnosis of Peripheral Neuropathy by : Juan M Bilbao
Peripheral nerve analysis is a challenging task for pathologists, given the advent of new diagnoses and techniques of analysis and the impact of molecular genetics. This book presents a simple, logical method for constructing a differential diagnosis based on pathology and clinical presentation. It also provides advice on the selection of ancillary molecular, immunohistochemical and genetic techniques to establish a definitive diagnosis. Clear, authoritative guidance is offered on diagnosis of the full range of neuropathies with the aid of a wealth of high-quality color photomicrographs and electron micrographs. The pathologist will benefit greatly from the identification of a variety of artifacts and normal structures occasionally encountered in nerve biopsies that need to be distinguished from specific pathologic alterations. This user-friendly, practical text will be an invaluable aid in achieving the most specific diagnosis possible.

Synopsis Biopsy Diagnosis of Peripheral Neuropathy by : Gyl Midroni
A highly illustrated (bandw) monograph directed to neurologists and pathologists, combining a practical approach to nerve biopsy interpretation in peripheral neuropathy with an overview of the progress of the past two decades in the understanding of peripheral nerve pathobiology. Also covered are clinical features of polyneuropathy and the microscopic anatomy of nerves. Emphasis is placed on the usefulness and limitations of nerve biopsy as a diagnostic tool. The material examined consists of some 700 nerve biopsies collected over a 22-year period at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Synopsis Diagnosis and Management of Peripheral Nerve Disorders by : Jerry R. Mendell
Peripheral neuropathies represent a challenging subject for most physicians. This is an up-to-date, comprehensive, and readable book on peripheral neuropathies that includes concise information on the clinical, electrophysiological, pathological, pathogenic, and treatment aspects of the most important disorders. New molecular and serologic diagnostic tests are discussed. Sections are devoted to nerve and skin biopsy techniques and findings, quantitative sensory and autonomic reflex tests. Case examples are used liberally throughout the text. The editors: Mendell, Kissel, and Cornblath are experienced clinicians that bring complementary knowledge to each of the subjects. Additional authors have been handpicked for specific topics which add to the value of the edition.

Synopsis Peripheral Nerve Disorders by : Rosalind King
This chapter discusses the indications for biopsying a peripheral nerve and the factors involved in justifying this decision and then deciding which nerve to take. There is a table summarizing some of the causes of neuropathy and attempting to relate these to the probability that nerve biopsy would be helpful in diagnosis. The surgical procedure for the nerve biopsy is described including aftercare and possible complications. The techniques involved in processing and staining the nerve are discussed. This section includes the possibilities of creating artefactual damage by mishandling or poor technique, and how to avoid these. Modification to the standard resin processing schedule to allow the teasing out of individual nerve fibers is briefly described, as are methods for measuring fiber density, fiber size and myelin thickness. There is also a brief discussion of the applications of immunohistochemistry. This is followed by a section on interpretation by light and electron microscopy in which some of the more important diagnostic features are described and illustrated, as are nonspecific morphological findings. Interpretation of teased fiber preparations is discussed. Finally, some common causes of incorrect interpretation are mentioned.

Synopsis Peripheral Nerve Disorders by : Svein Ivar Mellgren
Skin biopsy with a 3mm disposable circular punch is easy to perform and allows, after proper processing, the visualization of epidermal, dermal, and sweat gland nerve fibers. A technique of sampling the epidermis alone by applying a suction capsule, the “blister” technique, has also been developed. It is most common to stain immunohistochemically for the pan-axonal marker protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), an ubiquitin C-terminal hydroxylase. The sections are then observed and analyzed with bright-field microscopy or with indirect immunofluorescence with or without confocal microscopy. Most studies report quantification of intraepidermal nerve fiber density displayed in bright-field microscopy. Normative values have been established, particularly from the distal part of the leg, 10cm above the external malleolus. In diabetes mellitus early degeneration of intraepidermal nerve fibers is induced and there is slower regeneration even when there is no evidence of neuropathy. Skin biopsy is of particular value in the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy when nerve conduction studies are normal. It may also be repeated in order to study the progressive nature of the disease and also has the potential of studying regeneration of nerve fibers and thus the effects of treatment. Inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies may also involve loss of small-diameter nerve fibers and IgM deposits in dermal myelinated nerve fibers in anti-MAG neuropathy. In some cases the presence of vasculitis in skin may indicate a nonsystemic vasculitic neuropathy and in HIV neuropathy intraepidermal nerve fiber density is reduced in a length-dependent manner. In several hereditary neuropathies intraepidermal nerve fiber density may be reduced but other abnormalities can also be demonstrated in dermal myelinated fibers. Some small swellings and varicosities may be present in the distal leg skin biopsy of healthy individuals but large axonal swellings are considered as evidence of a pathological process affecting the normal structure of nerves. The indirect immunofluorescence technique with confocal microscopy provides the opportunity to study the complex structure of sensory receptors and cutaneous myelinated fibers and the innervation of sweat glands, arrector pilorum muscles, and vessels.

Synopsis Peripheral Nerve Disorders by : Jean-Michel Vallat
Peripheral Nerve Disorders: Pathology and Genetics is a definitive, clinically-oriented guide to the pathology of peripheral nerve disorders. These commonly seen neurological challenges have many causes and accurate diagnosis is often necessary via pathological analysis. New techniques exploiting molecular biological knowledge have opened up new vistas to understanding the pathogenesis of these disorders, and hence their effective management. This new title takes a disease-oriented approach to understanding the pathology of these conditions. It combines classical and contemporary techniques to enable practitioners in neurology and neuropathology to better understanding of the disease processes underlying patients’ presentations and to formulate appropriate management plans. Peripheral Nerve Disorders: Pathology and Genetics is a valuable resource for neurologists, neuropathologists, pathologists, neurobiologists and geneticists.
