If you had to evaluate a patient with hand numbness on a deserted island and could only take one EDX item with you, what would it be? Tune in to this episode to see what Drs. Devon Rubin and Michael Cartwright would choose! And learn many more tips of the trade as they discuss a common yet sometimes complicated problem in the EMG laboratory.

Dr. Kelly Gwathmey interviews Dr. Juerd Wijntjes on the article titled "Comparison of muscle ultrasound and needle electromyography findings in neuromuscular disorders." This study explores the correlation of needle electromyography changes with both visual and quantitative muscle ultrasound results in patients with neurogenic and myopathic disorders. 

Drs. Mohamed Taha and John Morren speak with Andy Galbreath about their recent Muscle & Nerve paper on Artificial Intelligence in NM and EDX Medicine.  The authors discuss concepts of machine learning, deep learning, and artificial neural networks as they relate to NM and EDX medicine. Limitations and regulatory challenges are also discussed.  Muscle & Nerve. 2024;69:260-272.

Dr. Devon Rubin challenges the father-son combination of Drs. Peter Dyck and Jim Dyck with a case of peripheral neuropathy. Watch to find out whether the patient’s diabetes was the culprit or whether there was another cause. You will not be disappointed as you learn many pearls in the clinical and EDX evaluation of peripheral neuropathy.

Did you miss the first-ever Lessons From the Lab LIVE? Listen and watch what fun you missed now! Hear Devon Rubin, MD, and Ruple Laughlin, MD, as they discuss a case on unilateral leg numbness.

This podcast is a discussion of three challenging electrodiagnostic cases. Teresa Spiegelberg, CNCT interviews three neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic experts: Dr. Ann Little, MD, Dr. Gary Gallagher, MD, and Dr. James Leonard, Jr. MD.

The first case explores the challenges of routine electrodiagnostic testing in someone with a chronic, underlying brachial plexopathy. The second case discusses the expected electrophysiological changes in a patient with a presynaptic neuromuscular junction disorder. In the third case, electrophysiological features of a patient with Hirayama's Disease (i.e. monomelic amyotrophy) are discussed.

Listen to this episode to see if Dr. Grant thinks that Dr. Rubin appropriately evaluated a patient with suspected polyneuropathy – is one NCS too few, are 22 NCS too many? Tune in to find out the answer, and much more!

Dr. Devon Rubin presents Dr. David Preston with a challenging case of a man with subacute lower extremity weakness. Enjoy the potpourri of information about anticoagulation, A waves, F waves, demyelination, ultrasound, Siri, and so much more!
