The Spectrum of Abnormal Tongue Movements: Review of Phenomenology, Etiology, and Differential Diagnosis

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

Hydrogen sulfide donor protects against mechanical ventilation‐induced atrophy and contractile dysfunction in the rat diaphragm

Clinical and Translational Science, 2021
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a clinical tool providing adequate alveolar ventilation in patients that require respiratory support. Although a life‐saving intervention for critically ill patients, prolonged MV results in the rapid development of ...

Sarcopenia Risk is Associated With Decreased Swallow Safety in Patients With Dysphagia

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sarcopenia, characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, is associated with adverse health outcomes in older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia risk, handgrip strength, and swallowing function in patients with dysphagia undergoing Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (

Endurance exercise attenuates ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2012
Controlled mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving measure for patients in respiratory failure. However, MV renders the diaphragm inactive leading to diaphragm weakness due to both atrophy and contractile dysfunction. It is now established that oxidative stress is a requirement for MV-induced diaphragmatic proteolysis, atrophy, and contractile ...

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.
