Description: Often seen in Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), arise as a consequence of immune system involvement and can have myriad health consequences. Both CIDP and MMN are characterized by complex presentations and frequent misdiagnoses. CIDP shows gradual peripheral nerve demyelination, leading to weakness and sensory loss, while MMN presents with asymmetric weakness devoid of sensory complications. With an array of treatment options, managing polyneuropathy in CIDP and MMN can be challenging. This collaborative platform serves as a unifying space for healthcare providers, facilitating the exchange of insights and elevating the standard of care for patients affected by CIDP and MMN. In this learning activity, you will learn how to enhance the lives of CIDP and MMN patients via a program promoting local and cross-community support, driving effective practice-sharing for better outcomes.

Neurology, Lewis Katz Sch of Med at Temple University
Professor

I have strong interest in uncovering the underlying etiologies for neurologic disorders, including peripheral neuropathies, neuromuscular disorders, acquired or inherited metabolic disorders, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, motor neuron disease, and others. Over years of conducting basic neuroscience research and practicing clinical neurology, particularly in Clinical Neuroelectrodiagnostic laboratory (electromyography and evoked potentials), I have gained knowledge and experience in recognition and management of patients with various neurologic conditions, and contributed to literatures on the pathophysiology for those diseases by exploring the possibly underlying etiologies and their clinical correlations.
