Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Azathioprine versus Mycophenolate Mofetil, Comparing Effectiveness for Treatment of Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Q: Could you start by sharing why you felt the study was needed that compared the efficacy of azathioprine and mycophenolate in generalized myasthenia gravis?

The two drugs are the most commonly used non-steroidal immunosuppressants in North America, and prior randomized trials were not very informative; the Duke MG Clinic Registry provided a large dataset to compare real-world effectiveness.

AANEM Guideline on Diagnostic and Screening Tests for Small Fiber Neuropathy

Q: What are your take home messages for our listeners from this review?

There is no single gold standard for diagnosing small fiber neuropathy; using a combination of direct and indirect tests increases diagnostic confidence, with skin punch biopsy still leading the evidence, corneal confocal microscopy as a growing tool, and routine screening labs like glucose tests and B12 guiding broader evaluation.

AANEM Guideline on Diagnostic and Screening Tests for Small Fiber Neuropathy

Q: Do you see it replacing skin biopsy as a non-invasive alternative in future?

Corneal confocal microscopy has potential as a non-invasive alternative, but it is not yet a replacement for skin biopsy due to variability in accessibility, broader validation requirements, and the need for specialized equipment in many clinics.

AANEM Guideline on Diagnostic and Screening Tests for Small Fiber Neuropathy

Q: Building upon that, can you tell us more about these direct and indirect tests for diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy?

Skin punch biopsy with intraepidermal nerve fiber density remains the most robust direct test, while corneal confocal microscopy offers a promising direct assessment though its use is not as widespread; a range of indirect tests, including autonomic measures like sympathetic skin response and others, can be combined to increase diagnostic confidence, especially when access to all tests is limited.

AANEM Guideline on Diagnostic and Screening Tests for Small Fiber Neuropathy

Q: Before we dive into the discussion, can you tell our listeners a little bit about Small Fibre Neuropathy?

Small fibre neuropathy is a disorder predominantly affecting small unmyelinated or lightly myelinated fibers, with pain and temperature abnormalities often being central symptoms, while large fiber functions like vibration and proprioception may be preserved; diagnosis hinges on clinical presentation, history, and the use of tests when available, since routine nerve conduction studies are often normal.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast

What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

The show concentrates on neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine, featuring clinician-educators who walk through case-based reasoning, EMG interpretation, and biopsy or imaging–driven diagnosis. Episodes frequently center on practical diagnostic strategies, evolving biomarkers, and management considerations across conditions like inclusion body myositis, multisystem proteinopathies, MGAM, CIDP, and menopause-related neuromuscular changes. A standout pattern is the blend of hands-on technique demonstrations, expert panels, and real-world clinical learning from Mayo Clinic, AANEM, and university-affiliated clinicians, which makes it a strong resource for practitioners seeking up-to-date, expert perspectives without generic clinical advic... more
