New Insights in Adherence and Survival in Myotonic Dystrophy Patients Using Home Mechanical Ventilation

Respiration, 2021
Background: Non-invasive home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is a complex treatment in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) patients, due to a presumed poor adherence, variable symptom improvement, and uncertainty regarding survival benefits.

Noninvasive ventilation in stable hypercapnic COPD: what is the evidence?

ERJ Open Research, 2018
Long-term noninvasive ventilation (NIV) to treat chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure is still controversial in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. However, with the introduction of high-intensity NIV, important benefits from

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and respiratory failure; what about the diaphragm?

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2015
Introduction: We present a case of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) with a diaphragm paralysis as the primary cause of ventilatory failure. FSHD is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder with a restricted pattern of weakness.
