Watch this episode to see if Dr. Grant thinks that Dr. Rubin appropriately evaluated a patient with suspected polyneuropathy – is one NCS too few, are 22 NCS too many? Tune in to find out the answer, and much more!

3/18/2024 -This podcast is a discussion of three challenging electrodiagnostic cases. Teresa Spiegelberg, CNCT interviews three neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic experts: Dr. Ann Little, MD, Dr. Gary Gallagher, MD, and Dr. James Leonard, Jr. MD. The first case explores the challenges of routine electrodiagnostic testing in someone with a chronic, underlying brachial plexopathy. The second case discusses the expected electrophysiological changes in a patient with a presynaptic neuromuscular junction disorder. In the third case, electrophysiological features of a patient with Hirayama's Disease (i.e. monomelic amyotrophy) are discussed.  25 min.

9/19/2016-  Dr. Justin Willer interviews Dr. Kelly Gwathmey about her article, Sensory Neuronopathies. The sensory neuronopathies (or ganglionopathies) are a small subcategory of neuropathies characterized by primary degeneration of the dorsal root ganglia and trigeminal ganglion sensory neurons, resulting in a distinctive clinical presentation. Patients typically have subacute onset of asymmetric, non–length-dependent sensory impairment and early ataxia. The etiologies of acquired sensory neuronopathies are rather limited. Early identification is imperative, as they may herald an underlying malignancy or an autoimmune condition such as Sjögren syndrome. This podcast reviews the Muscle and Nerve article on this subject.
