Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonographic Detection of Fasciculations Markedly Increases Diagnostic Sensitivity of ALS
Sonoko Misawa,Yu-ichi Noto,Kazumoto Shibuya,Sagiri Isose,Yukari Sekiguchi,Saiko Nasu,Satoshi Kuwabara +6 more
TL;DR: Muscle US is a practical and efficient tool to detect fasciculations, particularly in the tongue, and a combination of US and EMG substantially increases the diagnostic sensitivity of ALS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy: structure meets function in the neuromuscular clinic
TL;DR: Closer scrutiny of nerve abnormalities beyond assessment of nerve calibre may allow for more accurate diagnostic classification of PN, as well as contribute to the understanding of the intersection of structure and function in PN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Markedly upregulated serum interleukin-12 as a novel biomarker in POEMS syndrome
Kazuaki Kanai,Setsu Sawai,Kazuyuki Sogawa,Masahiro Mori,Sonoko Misawa,Kazumoto Shibuya,Sagiri Isose,Yumi Fujimaki,Yu-ichi Noto,Yukari Sekiguchi,Saiko Nasu,Chiaki Nakaseko,Shigetsugu Takano,Hideyuki Yoshitomi,Masaru Miyazaki,Fumio Nomura,Satoshi Kuwabara +16 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that serum IL- 12 is a biomarker of the disease activity in POEMS syndrome, and the overproduction of IL-12, as well as VEGF, is likely to play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nerve ultrasound depicts peripheral nerve enlargement in patients with genetically distinct Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Yu-ichi Noto,Kensuke Shiga,Yukiko Tsuji,Ikuko Mizuta,Yujiro Higuchi,Akihiro Hashiguchi,Hiroshi Takashima,Masanori Nakagawa,Toshiki Mizuno +8 more
TL;DR: Nerve US may aid in differentiating among the subtypes of CMT in combination with NCS, and in CMT1A, the median nerve CSA correlates with the disease severity and peripheral nerve function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Awaji criteria improves the diagnostic sensitivity in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A systematic review using individual patient data.
Nimeshan Geevasinga,Clement T. Loy,Parvathi Menon,Mamede de Carvalho,Michael Swash,Michael Swash,Maarten Schrooten,Philip Van Damme,Malgorzata Gawel,Masahiro Sonoo,Mana Higashihara,Yu-ichi Noto,Satoshi Kuwabara,Matthew C. Kiernan,Petra Macaskill,Steve Vucic +15 more
TL;DR: The updated Awaji criteria enhanced the diagnostic sensitivity in limb-onset ALS and should be considered in clinical practice and future therapeutic trials.
