Article Abstract
A 51-year-old man with the chief complaint of glove- and stocking-type dysesthesia for >3 years was diagnosed with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) based on IgM-type M-proteinemia, bone marrow infiltration of plasmacytoid B cells, multiple lymphadenopathies, and splenomegaly. A nerve conduction examination suggested demyelinating neuropathy. Serum anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein antibody was negative. Sural nerve biopsy showed myelin thinning, suggesting demyelination. Axonal damage and tumor cell infiltration in the intrafascicular epineurium were also observed. After chemotherapies with rituximab and bendamustine, M-proteinemia and lymphadenopathies disappeared. However, abnormalities in the nerve conduction examination and dysesthesia were only slightly alleviated. As articles describing patients with WM with peripheral nerve infiltration are limited, we report this case with a literature review.

Background And Aims: Polyneuropathy is highly prevalent among kidney transplant recipients (KTR), underscoring the need for an accurate yet easy-to-perform diagnostic method to improve understanding and enable early identification of treatable cases.
Methods: This study included KTR at least 12 months post-transplant at the University Medical Centre Groningen, the Netherlands. An expert panel assessed polyneuropathy through a structured neurological examination, quantitative sensory testing, and nerve conduction studies.

The integration of information memory and computing enabled by nonvolatile memristive device has been widely acknowledged as a critical solution to circumvent the von Neumann architecture limitations. Herein, the Au/NiO/CaBiTiO/FTO (CBTi/NiO) heterojunction based memristor with varying film thicknesses are demonstrated on FTO/glass substrates, and the CBTi/NiO-4 sample shows the optimal memristor characteristics with 5 × 10 stable switching cycles and 10-s resistance state retention. The electrical conduction in the low-resistance state is dominated by Ohmic behavior, while the high-resistance state exhibited characteristics consistent with the space-charge-limited conduction (SCLC) model.

Evidence on regional muscle excitation within hamstrings remains controversial, primarily because information derived solely from surface electromyograms (sEMG) amplitude does not necessarily provide an accurate estimate of neural drive to the muscle. To address this limitation, this study investigated whether there are proximodistal differences in motor unit properties of the biceps femoris long head during isometric hip extension and knee flexion tasks. Seventeen resistance-trained males performed isometric knee flexion and hip extension tasks at 20 % and 40 % of maximal voluntary contraction.

Background: In distal radius fracture (DRF) surgery with volar locking plates, the flexor carpi radialis approach is commonly used. However, the volar central approach (VCA), between the median nerve and the finger flexors, may improve visualization of the volar ulnar corner. A similar approach has been linked with a higher risk of iatrogenic median neuropathy.

Neuroinflammation is vital in vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN). Locally infiltrated macrophages polarize to pro-inflammatory M1-type, release inflammatory cytokines, and contribute to neuropathic pain. Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) regulates macrophage polarization.
