This form is characterized by an acute, severe and extensive paralysis with motor, sensitive and vegetative deficit. The reasons of the sudden aggravation of a previous chronic PN are thiamine deficiency -- wich realise the BERI-BERI with Wernicke-Korsakoff encephalopathy -- and a probable poisoning due to the multiples toxics included in the alcoholised beverages. The remarkable clinical features of this PN are: the quickness of the onset, the extension and the severity of the paralysis, the young age of the patients and the relative prevalence of the women -- these two points suggesting a possible congenital predisposition -- and the fast improvement under vitamino-therapy and abstinence. Our EMG findings, in accord with some recent electro-physiological studies with histological confrontations, show up the indirect signs of a massive axonal degeneration in contrast to a mild demyelination. The EMG examen was a good contribution to exclude other possibilities like Guillain-Barré syndrome or alcoholic myopathy, and to follow the evolution.</p>","PeriodicalId":75818,"journal":{"name":"Electrodiagnostic-Therapie","volume":"17 1","pages":"15-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17321190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The total number of motor unit (MU) potentials as well as the force were sequentially measured during intervals of 30 msec. SO obtained during movements of very similar mechanical characteristics was different from one movement to another. However, when a small number of identical movements was summed an averaged SO was obtained that was representative of the instantaneous global activity of the biceps. Taking into account the respective values of the bin duration and of the interval between two successive discharges of a single MU, the averaged SO represents the number of active MU during the acceleration phase of the movement. Since in this type of movement the frequency discharge of each MU decreases during the acceleration phase, it appears that the increase of averaged SO represents the recruitment of MU during the movement. From the relation established between the instantaneous values of So and force it can be concluded that the shape of force increase in anisometric, anisotonic conditions is entirely related to that of MU recruitment, although the absolute value of force depends on both the firing frequency and the number of active MUs.</p>","PeriodicalId":75818,"journal":{"name":"Electrodiagnostic-Therapie","volume":"16 1","pages":"32-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11475071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
