Early progression of the autonomic dysfunction observed in pediatric type 1 diabetes mellitus.

3 Oct 2009 To focus on early cardiac and vascular autonomic dysfunction that might complicate type 1 diabetes mellitus in children, we planned an observational, cross-sectional study in a population of 93 young patients, under insulin treatment, subdivided in ... Read more...

A 52-year-old woman with disabling peripheral neuropathy: review of diabetic polyneuropathy.

6 Sep 2009 Ms Q is a 52-year-old woman who has had progressive polyneuropathy in the setting of diabetes for the past 8 years. Ms Q's major disability is that of increasingly severe neuropathic pain and cramps that have been poorly responsive to a variety of ... Read more...

Continuous buprenorphine delivery effect in streptozotocine-induced painful diabetic neuropathy in rats.

30 Aug 2009 Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) can induce loss of nociception as well as mechanical hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia. Pharmacological and clinical studies have shown that buprenorphine, a low-molecular-weight, lipophilic, opioid analgesic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Diabetic Neuropathies'

Definition: Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1325)
