A Challenging Diagnosis of Fluctuating Dyspnea: Myasthenia Gravis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015
Isolated respiratory muscles weakness is an unusual presentation of Myasthenia Gravis (MG). We present a case of 49-year-old male with undiagnosed MG who presented with fluctuating dyspnea on exertion and at rest.

Post-sepsis chronic muscle weakness can be prevented by pharmacological protection of mitochondria

Molecular Medicine
Background Sepsis, mainly caused by bacterial infections, is the leading cause of in-patient hospitalizations. After discharge, most sepsis survivors suffer from long-term medical complications, particularly chronic skeletal muscle weakness.

Mechanisms of Skeletal Muscle Weakness

, 2010
Skeletal muscle weakness is an important feature of numerous -pathological conditions and it may also be a component in normal ageing. Decreased muscular strength can be due to decreased muscle mass and/or intrinsic defects in the muscle cells. In this chapter we will discuss decreased force production due to mechanisms intrinsic to skeletal muscle ...

Denervation does not induce muscle atrophy through oxidative stress [PDF]

, 2017
Denervation leads to the activation of the catabolic pathways, such as the ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy, resulting in skeletal muscle atrophy and weakness.

Impaired aerobic capacity and premature fatigue preceding muscle weakness in the skeletal muscle Tfam-knockout mouse model

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2021
Mitochondrial diseases are genetic disorders that lead to impaired mitochondrial function, resulting in exercise intolerance and muscle weakness. In patients, muscle fatigue due to defects in mitochondrial oxidative capacities commonly precedes muscle ...
