Clinical characterizations of three adults with genetically confirmed spinal muscular atrophy: a case series

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Spinal muscular atrophy is a recessively inherited autosomal neuromuscular disorder, with characteristic progressive muscle weakness. Most spinal muscular atrophy cases clinically manifest during infancy or childhood, although it may first ...

Weak-Measurement-Induced Asymmetric Dephasing: Manifestation of Intrinsic Measurement Chirality [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2021
Geometrical dephasing is distinct from dynamical dephasing in that it depends on the trajectory traversed, hence it reverses its sign upon flipping the direction in which the path is traced. Here we study sequences of generalized (weak) measurements that steer a system in a closed trajectory.

Dysfunctional neuro-muscular mechanisms explain gradual gait changes in prodromal spastic paraplegia

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2023
Background In Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) type 4 (SPG4) a length-dependent axonal degeneration in the cortico-spinal tract leads to progressing symptoms of hyperreflexia, muscle weakness, and spasticity of lower extremities.

Unilateral vocal cord adductor weakness: an atypical manifestation of motor neurone disease [PDF]

BMJ Neurology Open, 2021
Background Bulbar involvement is a recognised feature of motor neuron disease/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (MND/ALS), both as a presenting complaint and as a consequence of advancing disease. Hoarseness and dysphonia have been associated with vocal cord abductor weakness. This is usually bilateral and has also been
