Diabetic Neurological Disease Could Affect Central Nervous System
Damage to the nervous system associated with diabetes could influence the central nervous system in addition to the peripheral nervous system, suggest authors of a pilot study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The origins of the neurological disorder diabetic neuropathy (distal symmetrical polyneuropathy), that affects a third of all... view more... (2001-07-05)
Medical food reduces medical costs and use of anti-convulsant medication
Diabetic patients diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy had lower medical costs and reduced use of anticonvulsant medications when treated with a folate-enriched prescription medical food. view more (2009-10-27)
The cause of all hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type II cases has been established
A major discovery that details the existence of a neuronal specific form of the WNK1 gene, henceforth referred to as the WNK1/HSN2 isoform, was recently completed by the research group of Dr. Guy A. Rouleau and published in the scientific journal The Journal of Clinical Investigation. view more (2008-06-11)
Diabetics with previous foot ulcers may be able to participate in walking program
More than 20 million Americans are living with diabetes, and that number is expected to increase by more than 5 million by 2010. view more (2009-01-14)
Malfunctioning bone marrow cells sabotage nerve cells in diabetes
Malfunctioning bone marrow cells that produce insulin appear to cause a dangerous nerve condition called neuropathy that disables many people with diabetes, said a research team led by Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. view more (2005-08-23)
Trial success for diabetic nerve therapy
A potentially ground-breaking treatment for nerve damage caused by diabetes has shown promising results in preclinical and early patient trials. view more (2006-05-31)
Research helps identify precursors to foot disease in diabetes patients
Foot ulcerations are one of the most serious complications of diabetes, resulting in more than 80,000 lower-leg amputations each year in the U.S. alone. view more (2005-11-14)
Abnormal glucose metabolism may contribute to chronic nerve disorder
Abnormal glucose metabolism, which occurs when the body has difficulty processing sugar (glucose) into energy, is twice as common among patients with chronic nerve dysfunction of unknown cause than among the general population and may be a risk factor for the condition. view more (2006-06-13)
Triglycerides implicated in diabetes nerve loss
A common blood test for triglycerides - a well-known cardiovascular disease risk factor - may also for the first time allow doctors to predict which patients with diabetes are more likely to develop the serious, common complication of neuropathy. view more (2009-05-19)
Researchers design first model motor nerve system that's insulated and organized like the human body
In the July issue of Biomaterials, published by Elsevier, researchers from the University of Central Florida (UCF) report on the first lab-grown motor nerves that are insulated and organized just like they are in the human body. view more (2009-07-21)
Diabetic nerve therapy shows 'striking' results
Research into a new treatment for nerve damage caused by diabetes could bring relief to millions of diabetic patients, say experts. view more (2005-07-27)
A pain-free window into painful neuropathies
Scientists have demonstrated a new technique for detecting a painful nerve condition known as neuropathy, which affects millions of people with diabetes and many other patients as well. view more (2007-12-06)
Mutation may cause inherited neuropathy
Mutations in a protein called dynein, required for the proper functioning of sensory nerve cells, can cause defects in mice that may provide crucial clues leading to better treatments for a human nerve disorder known as peripheral neuropathy, which affects about three percent of all those over age 60. view more (2007-12-26)
Nerve changes from diabetes begin earlier than previously known
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that subtle change in nerve conduction is the first reliable sign of nerve complications from diabetes and that this change can be measured long before other symptoms or signs of nerve damage develop. view more (2005-09-30)
New Jefferson study may redefine how a chronic auto-immune disease is diagnosed
New research from Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience (JHN) may redefine how Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is diagnosed. view more (2009-06-11)
Bone marrow cells can heal nerves in diabetes model
Transplanting cells that replenish blood vessels can also restore nerve function in an animal model of diabetic neuropathy, Emory researchers have found. view more (2009-02-05)
Impotency drugs may be associated with increased risk of optic nerve damage
Viagra and Cialis, the drugs used to treat impotency, may be associated with an increased risk of optic nerve damage in men with a history of heart attack or high blood pressure, suggests a small study in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. view more (2006-01-17)
Discovery of new gene for rare nerve disease may help doctors understand more common illnesses
A multi-national research team that includes a Saint Louis University neurologist has discovered a gene mutation that causes a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited progressive nerve disorder. view more (2006-01-31)
UCF team's advanced nerve cell system could help cure diabetic neuropathy, related diseases
Multiple sclerosis, diabetic neuropathy, and other conditions caused by a loss of myelin insulation around nerves can be debilitating and even deadly, but adequate treatments do not yet exist. view more (2009-06-23)
Marijuana rivals mainstream drugs for HIV/AIDS symptoms
Those in the United States living with HIV/AIDS are more likely to use marijuana than those in Kenya, South Africa or Puerto Rica to alleviate their symptoms. view more (2009-06-01)
