Dr. Elie Naddaf interviews Drs. Amanda Guidon and Anthony Amato regarding COVID-19 and neuromuscular disorders. This podcast reviews the potential neuromuscular complications of COVID-19, impact of COVID-19 on patients with preexisting neuromuscular disease, and guidance for management of immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory therapies and timing vaccination. We also review the impact of COVID-19...

Dr. Elie Naddaf interviews Dr. Andrea Boon about the approach to patients presenting to the EMG laboratory with respiratory symptoms, to evaluate for underlying neuromuscular cause of these symptoms. Dr Boon describes the role of phrenic nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography of the diaphragm and the technical limitations of these studies. Dr Boon also details the role of diaphragm u...

In this retrospective study, we estimate the SR% as defined by...

Dr. Justin Willer interviews Dr. Yuebing Li about his article, Clinical and Electrodiagnostic Features Of Nontraumatic Sciatic Neuropathy. This study sought to characterize etiologies and features of sciatic neuropathy unrelated to penetrating nerve trauma. Methods: This investigation was a retrospective review of 109 patients with electrodiagnostically confirmed sciatic neuropathies. Results: Hip...

Dr. Behzad Elahi interviews Dr. Devin I. Rubin on his article, Needle Electromyography and Histopathologic Correlation in Myopathies. Fibrillation potentials and short-duration MUPs predict pathologic changes of muscle fiber necrosis, splitting, and/or vacuolar changes (as seen with inflammatory myopathies and muscular dystrophies). Absence of fibrillation potentials suggests other myopathologic c...

Dr. Scott Speelziek interviews Dr. Elie Naddaf on his article, Muscle Biopsy EMG Correlation. In myopathies, the correlation of individual electromyographic and histopathologic findings remains poorly explored, as most previous studies have focused on the ability of muscle biopsy and electromyography to distinguish the neuropathic vs. myopathic nature of the underlying neuromuscular disease. By de...

Dr. Justin Willer interviews Dr. Athar Parveen on her article, Long‐term neuromuscular outcomes of west nile virus infection A clinical and electromyographic evaluation of patients with a history of infection. The study found that 33% of these patients (10 of 30) showed abnormalities on either nerve conduction or needle electromyography due to primary or secondary outcomes of WNV infection. Most c...
