Inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is a rare but devastating condition. Guillain-Barré syndrome is the most common cause with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy being the most common subtype that follows a monophasic course and does not recur. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy occurs when symptoms persist for greater than 8 weeks. With many proposed etiologies, few reports have described acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy after total joint arthrop ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundThis study conducted a comprehensive glycan analysis of serum to determine how glycan biomarkers are associated with the pathophysiology of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and the effects of its treatment.MethodsWe comparatively analyzed N- and O-glycans in the pretreatment serum of 27 treatment-naïve patients with typical CIDP and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC) using mass spectrometry. We determined the association between clinical parameters and glycans. The serum glycan and neurofilament light-chain (NfL) levels were assessed at the baseline, and treatment response was defined according to the degree of improvement in the modified Rankin scale 12 weeks after the first dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg).ResultsCompared with the HC, the CIDP group demonstrated significantly lower levels of serum total N-glycans (CIDP, median 973.3 [IQR 836.2-1131.3] pmol/μL; HC, 1125.0 [1005.0-1236.2] pmol/μL; p < 0.05), especially sialylated N-glycans (CIDP, 898.0 [752.2-1037.2] pmol/μL; HC, 1064.4 [942.7-1189.8] pmol/μL; p < 0.01). In contrast, the O-glycan levels did not differ significantly between the two groups. The treatment response was associated with low N-glycan levels, but not with the serum NfL levels. Low levels of sialylated N-glycans were associated with resistance to treatment over 12 weeks, with an area under the curve of 0.822 (p < 0.01).ConclusionsLow levels of sialylated N-glycans could potentially serve as a novel biomarker, reflecting pathophysiology and therapeutic resistance in typical CIDP.

Project description:Background and Objectives: Studies have suggested that, by applying certain nerve ultrasound scores, demyelinating and axonal polyneuropathies can be differentiated. In the current study, we investigated the utility of ultrasound pattern sub-score A (UPSA) and intra- and internerve cross-sectional area (CSA) variability in the diagnostic evaluation of demyelinating neuropathies. Materials and Methods: Nerve ultrasound was performed in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) and compared to patients with axonal neuropathies. The UPSA, i.e., the sum of ultrasound scores at eight predefined measurement points in the median (forearm, elbow and mid-arm), ulnar (forearm and mid-arm), tibial (popliteal fossa and ankle) and fibular (lateral popliteal fossa) nerves, was applied. Intra- and internerve CSA variability were defined as maximal CSA/minimal CSA for each nerve and each subject, respectively. Results: A total of 34 CIDP, 15 AIDP and 16 axonal neuropathies (including eight axonal Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), four hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis, three diabetic polyneuropathy and one vasculitic neuropathy) were included. A total of 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited for comparison. Significantly enlarged nerve CSA was observed in CIDP and AIDP with significantly higher UPSA in CIDP compared to the other groups (9.9 ± 2.9 vs. 5.9 ± 2.0 vs. 4.6 ± 1.9 in AIDP vs. axonal neuropathies, p < 0.001). A total of 89.3% of the patients with CIDP had an UPSA score ≥7 compared to the patients with AIDP (33.3%) and axonal neuropathies (25.0%) (p < 0.001). Using this cut-off, the performance of UPSA in differentiating CIDP from other neuropathies including AIDP was excellent (area under the curve of 0.943) with high sensitivity (89.3%), specificity (85.2%) and positive predictive value (73.5%). There were no significant differences in intra- and internerve CSA variability between the three groups. Conclusion: The UPSA ultrasound score was useful in distinguishing CIDP from other neuropathies compared to nerve CSA alone.

Project description:Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated neuropathy that typically presents with progressive or relapsing, symmetric, proximal, and distal weakness of upper and lower limbs, sensory involvement of at least two limbs, and decreased or absent deep tendon reflexes. The symptoms of CIDP can be similar to those of other neuropathies, making diagnosis difficult, which can often lead to delays in correct diagnosis and treatment. The updated European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS) 2021 guideline outlines a set of diagnostic criteria that help to identify CIDP with high accuracy and provides recommendations for the treatment of CIDP. The aim of this podcast, featuring Dr. Urvi Desai (Professor of Neurology, Wake Forest School of Medicine and Atrium Health Neurosciences Institute Wake Forest Baptist, Charlotte), is to discuss how the new guideline impacts diagnosis and treatment decisions in her everyday clinical practice. Using a patient case study example, the updated guideline recommends assessing a patient for clinical, electrophysiological, and supportive criteria for CIDP, enabling a more straightforward diagnosis of either typical CIDP, a CIDP variant, or an autoimmune nodopathy. A second patient case study highlights how the new guideline no longer considers autoimmune nodopathies as CIDP, as patients with these disorders do not meet hallmark CIDP criteria. This leaves an unmet need in terms of guidance on how to treat this subset of patients. Although the new guideline has not necessarily changed treatment preference in clinical practice, the addition of subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) into the guideline now better reflects clinical practice. The guideline helps to define and categorize CIDP more simply and consistently, allowing quicker and more accurate diagnosis, leading to a positive impact on treatment response and prognosis. These real-world insights into the diagnosis and management of patients with CIDP could help guide best clinical practice and help facilitate optimization of patient outcomes.

Project description:ObjectiveThere is an unmet need for better diagnostic tools to further delineate clinical subsets of heterogeneous chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) to facilitate treatment decisions. Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a noninvasive and reproducible nerve imaging technique. This study evaluates the potential of CCM as a diagnostic surrogate in CIDP and MMN.MethodsIn a cross-sectional prospective approach, 182 patients and healthy controls were studied using CCM to quantify corneal nerve damage and immune cell infiltration.ResultsPatients with CIDP and MMN had a reduction in corneal nerve fiber (CNF) measures and an increase in corneal immune cell infiltrates. In CIDP, CNF parameters decreased with increasing duration of disease. The number of dendritic cells in proximity to CNFs was increased in patients with early disease and correlated with the degree of motor affection. A further reduction in CNF parameters and an increase in nondendritic cells were observed in patients with painful neuropathy. In CIDP patients with antineuronal antibodies the number of nondendritic cells was increased.InterpretationOur findings suggest that CNF loss may reflect severity of neuropathy and quantification of distinct cells around the CNF plexus may help in stratifying CIDP subtypes, clinical course, and disease activity. However, further longitudinal studies are required before CCM can be considered as a valid surrogate endpoint for patients with CIDP and MMN.

Project description:Ocular neuromyotonia (ONM) is a neuro-ophthalmic disorder characterized by episodic diplopia caused by contraction of one or more ocular muscles due to spontaneous excitation of the respective ocular motor nerve. We report a patient whose ocular neuromyotonia arose in the setting of a subacute demyelinating polyneuropathy consistent with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and subsequently resolved following the initiation of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) for her neuropathy. Our patient provides additional evidence towards the role of demyelination and ephaptic neurotransmission in ocular neuromyotonia and also represents the first reported case of ocular neuromyotonia associated with a systemic neurological condition.

Project description:ObjectiveWe report the clinical and serologic features of Japanese patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) displaying anti-neurofascin-155 (NF155) immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) antibodies.MethodsIn sera from 533 patients with CIDP, anti-NF155 IgG4 antibodies were detected by ELISA. Binding of IgG antibodies to central and peripheral nerves was tested.ResultsAnti-NF155 IgG4 antibodies were identified in 38 patients (7%) with CIDP, but not in disease controls or normal participants. These patients were younger at onset as compared to 100 anti-NF155-negative patients with CIDP. Twenty-eight patients (74%) presented with sensory ataxia, 16 (42%) showed tremor, 5 (13%) presented with cerebellar ataxia associated with nystagmus, 3 (8%) had demyelinating lesions in the CNS, and 20 of 25 (80%) had poor response to IV immunoglobulin. The clinical features of the antibody-positive patients were statistically more frequent as compared to negative patients with CIDP (n = 100). Anti-NF155 IgG antibodies targeted similarly central and peripheral paranodes.ConclusionAnti-NF155 IgG4 antibodies were associated with a subgroup of patients with CIDP showing a younger age at onset, ataxia, tremor, CNS demyelination, and a poor response to IV immunoglobulin. The autoantibodies may serve as a biomarker to improve patients' diagnosis and guide treatments.

Project description:Immunoglobulin G (IgG) therapy is an established long-term treatment in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) that is commonly administered intravenously (IVIg). The subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) administration route is a safe and effective alternative option, approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018, for maintenance treatment of adults with CIDP. Physicians and patients alike need to be aware of all their treatment options in order to make informed decisions and plan long-term treatment strategies. In this review, we collate the evidence for SCIg in CIDP from all published studies and discuss their implications and translation to clinical practice. We also provide guidance on the practicalities of how and when to transition patients from IVIg to SCIg and ongoing patient support. Evidence suggests that IVIg and SCIg have comparable long-term efficacy in CIDP. However, SCIg can provide additional benefits for some patients, including no requirement for venous access or premedication, and reduced frequency of systemic adverse events. Local-site reactions are more common with SCIg than IVIg, but these are mostly well-tolerated and abate with subsequent infusions. Data suggest that many patients prefer SCIg following transition from IVIg. SCIg preference may be a result of the independence and flexibility associated with self-infusion, whereas IVIg preference may be a result of familiarity and reliance on a healthcare professional for infusions. In practice, individualizing maintenance dosing based on disease behavior and determining the minimally effective IgG dose for individuals are key considerations irrespective of the administration route chosen.

Project description:We present a unique case of a symptomatic adverse local tissue reaction in a patient with a ceramic-on-ceramic total hip bearing surface. To our knowledge, this pathological finding has not yet been described in a ceramic-on-ceramic articulation without a cobalt-chromium alloy trunnion or modular neck component as a source of metal wear. We conclude that despite its mechanical mostly benign wear characteristics, ceramic wear debris is not entirely inert and may lead to the development of adverse local tissue reaction.

Project description:ObjectiveStudies using conventional full-field visual evoked potentials (ffVEP) have reported subtle abnormalities in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). We hypothesize that these abnormalities can be detected in the majority of CIDP patients using enhanced methods.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional noninterventional study comparing 18 CIDP patients and 18 matched healthy controls using multifocal VEP (mfVEP) as a technique with enhanced sensitivity to detect conduction abnormalities across the spectrum of optic nerve fibers. Patients with confounding diseases (ophthalmologic, diabetes mellitus) were excluded.ResultsThe mean amplitude and latency, as well as the low-contrast visual acuity, did not differ between CIDP patients and controls. Subanalyses revealed latency differences concerning the superior sector of the visual field. Severity markers of CIDP (ODSS, motor nerve conduction velocity) were associated with mfVEP latency delay.InterpretationWe could not adduce evidence for clinically or diagnostically relevant visual pathway involvement in CIDP. The latency differences identified were very subtle and restricted to the superior visual field which cannot be readily explained biologically, anatomically, or pathologically. In summary, we conclude that our study revealed no relevant differences in mfVEP parameters between CIDP patients and controls.

Project description:Innate and adaptive immune responses exert their role in CIDP pathogenesis through cytokine production. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may alter cytokine gene expression, with a potential influence on the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. However, cytokine gene SNPs have not been assessed in CIDP patients yet. We assessed functional SNPs in the genes encoding IL-10 (rs1800896, rs1800871, rs1800872 and rs3024505), IL-6 (rs1800795), TNF (rs1800629 and rs361525), IL-12B (rs3212227), IFN-γ (rs2430561), GM-CSF (rs25882) and IL-17F (rs11465553) in a cohort of 88 CIDP patients and 486 healthy controls (HCs) via qPCR. We found an association of SNP in the IL10 promotor and CIDP occurrence. Major homozygotes (AA) were more frequent in the HCs compared to CIDP patients (p = 0.049), but the GA genotype prevailed among the patients (p = 0.032). A lower frequency of the C allele was observed for rs1800871 and rs1800872 in CIDP patients compared to the HCs (p = 0.048). A higher proportion of A carriers at position -1082 (rs1800896) (presumed to be a low IL-10 producer) was noted in patients with milder disability (low INCAT). All mild-INCAT patients were C carriers for rs1800871 and rs1800872 in IL10 (p = 0.038). Furthermore, the IL6 rs1800795 GG genotype was more frequent in patients (p = 0.049) and the CG heterozygote in the HCs (p = 0.013). Among the CIDP patients, being a G carrier for this SNP was associated with a higher frequency of type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to being a non-carrier (p = 0.032). Our data indicate a possible association of the IL10 and IL6 SNPs with CIDP, but also with disease severity and T2D occurrence. Given the paucity of CIDP patients, multicentric studies are necessary to draw definite conclusions on these associations.
