Ischemic monomelic neuropathy, the Glossary

Ischemic monomelic neuropathy (IMN) is an uncommon vascular access complication in hemodialysis patients that manifests as multiple mononeuropathies without clinical ischemia.^[1]

Anesthesia

Anesthesia or anaesthesia is a state of controlled, temporary loss of sensation or awareness that is induced for medical or veterinary purposes.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Anesthesia

Arteriovenous fistula

An arteriovenous fistula is an abnormal connection or passageway between an artery and a vein.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Arteriovenous fistula

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber (or nerve fibre: see spelling differences) is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Axon

Brachial plexus block

Brachial plexus block is a regional anesthesia technique that is sometimes employed as an alternative or as an adjunct to general anesthesia for surgery of the upper extremity.

Cardiology

Cardiology is the study of the heart.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a nerve compression syndrome associated with the collected signs and symptoms of compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel in the wrist.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Carpal tunnel syndrome

Chronic venous insufficiency

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition in which blood pools in the veins, straining the walls of the vein.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Chronic venous insufficiency

Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus, often known simply as diabetes, is a group of common endocrine diseases characterized by sustained high blood sugar levels.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Diabetes

Doppler ultrasonography

Doppler ultrasonography is medical ultrasonography that employs the Doppler effect to perform imaging of the movement of tissues and body fluids (usually blood), and their relative velocity to the probe.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Doppler ultrasonography

Electromyography

Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Electromyography

Fistula

In anatomy, a fistula (fistulas or fistulae; from Latin fistula, "tube, pipe") is an abnormal connection (i.e. tube) joining two hollow spaces (technically, two epithelialized surfaces), such as blood vessels, intestines, or other hollow organs to each other, often resulting in an abnormal flow of fluid from one space to the other.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Fistula

Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Hemodialysis are Renal dialysis.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Hemodialysis

Hypoesthesia

Hypoesthesia or numbness is a common side effect of various medical conditions that manifests as a reduced sense of touch or sensation, or a partial loss of sensitivity to sensory stimuli.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Hypoesthesia

Ischemia

Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to any tissue, muscle group, or organ of the body, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Ischemia

Nerve

A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of nerve fibers (called axons) in the peripheral nervous system.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Nerve

Nerve conduction study

A nerve conduction study (NCS) is a medical diagnostic test commonly used to evaluate the function, especially the ability of electrical conduction, of the motor and sensory nerves of the human body.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Nerve conduction study

Neurology

Neurology (from νεῦρον (neûron), "string, nerve" and the suffix -logia, "study of") is the branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the nervous system, which comprises the brain, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Neurology

Neuromodulation (medicine)

Neuromodulation is "the alteration of nerve activity through targeted delivery of a stimulus, such as electrical stimulation or chemical agents, to specific neurological sites in the body". Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Neuromodulation (medicine) are neurological disorders.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Neuromodulation (medicine)

Paralysis

Paralysis (paralyses; also known as plegia) is a loss of motor function in one or more muscles.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Paralysis

Paresthesia

Paresthesia is an abnormal sensation of the skin (tingling, pricking, chilling, burning, numbness) with no apparent physical cause. Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Paresthesia are neurological disorders.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Paresthesia

Peripheral neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy, often shortened to neuropathy, refers to damage or disease affecting the nerves.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Peripheral neuropathy

Radial artery

In human anatomy, the radial artery is the main artery of the lateral aspect of the forearm.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Radial artery

Shunt (medical)

In medicine, a shunt is a hole or a small passage that moves, or allows movement of, fluid from one part of the body to another.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Shunt (medical)

Vascular access steal syndrome

In nephrology, vascular access steal syndrome is a syndrome caused by ischemia (not enough blood flow) resulting from a vascular access device (such as an arteriovenous fistula or synthetic vascular graft–AV fistula) that was installed to provide access for the inflow and outflow of blood during hemodialysis. Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and vascular access steal syndrome are Renal dialysis.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Vascular access steal syndrome

Vascular disease

Vascular disease is a class of diseases of the vessels of the circulatory system in the body, including blood vessels – the arteries and veins, and the lymphatic vessels.

See Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Vascular disease

Weakness

Weakness is a symptom of many different medical conditions. Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and Weakness are neurological disorders.
