Established and novel measures of upper limb impairment in children with Charcot ‐Marie‐Tooth disease type 1A and Riboflavin Transporter Deficiency type 2
ConclusionsChildren with CMT1A and RTD2 exhibited marked hand/upper limb impairment. These results suggest the upper limb should be a focus of rehabilitative therapy in affected children using sensitive outcome measures of strength and sensation, as well as functional activities of daily living, which are most relevant to the patient.

ARTHUR ASBURY LECTURE: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy: clinical aspects and new animal models of auto ‐immunity to nodal components
Abstract Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune disorder of the peripheral nerves with clinical and immunological heterogeneity. Both cellular and humoral immune mechanisms against peripheral nerve antigens are considered to contribute to the pathogenesis of the disorder. Currently, the diagnosis of CIDP is based on clinical, laboratory and electrophysiological criteria. The field of CIDP recently underwent a major change with the identification of autoantibodies directed against paranodal (CNTN1, CASPR1 and NF155) and nodal (NF186/140) proteins. Over the last 5 years, correlation...

Epidemiology of Guillain ‐Barré syndrome in Finland 2004–2014
Abstract At total mean incidence of 0.84–1.1/100,000 the occurrence of Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) is reported to be low in Finland compared to other Caucasian populations. However, a recent study from Southwestern Finland reported an incidence of 1.82/100,000 which is comparable to other Caucasian populations. We analyzed discharge data covering the years 2004 through 2014 on all neurological admissions in all Finnish university and central hospitals with a primary diagnosis of GBS. A total of 989 admissions due to GBS (917 individuals) were identified. The standardized (European population) annual incidence rate w...

Prediction of disease progression in Miller Fisher and  overlap syndromes
Abstract Patients with Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) may have a relatively mild clinical course or progress to Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) with limb weakness (MFS‐GBS overlap syndrome). Other variants in this spectrum are GBS with ophthalmoparesis and Bickerstaff's Brainstem encephalitis (BBE). To compare the clinical course of MFS and overlap syndromes and to identify predictors of disease progression. In a prospective study of 170 patients with GBS and variant forms, 37 (22%) had a MFS, MFS‐GBS overlap syndrome, ophthalmoplegic GBS or BBE. The clinical, serological, and electrophysiological features were compared...

Antibody responses to GalC in severe and complicated childhood Guillain ‐Barré syndrome
Abstract We recently presented a case series of seven children who developed severe and complicated Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) after infection with M. pneumoniae (Mp) (Meyer Sauteur et al., 2015). The disease was rapidly progressive and severe: one died, four had clinically defined central nervous system (CNS) involvement, and five required mechanical ventilation.
