Adynamia episodica hereditaria with myotonia: A non-inactivating sodium current and the effect of extracellular pH [PDF]
To study the mechanism of periodic paralysis, we investigated the properties of intact muscle fibers biopsied from a patient who had adynamia episodica hereditaria with electromyographic signs of myotonia.

Efficacy of Retigabine in Treating Weakness in a Mouse Model of Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoKPP) is an ion channelopathy causing episodic skeletal muscle weakness triggered by hypokalemia. Reduced inward rectifier K+ (Kir) channel activity contributes to membrane depolarization and paralysis, suggesting that pharmacologic activation of muscle K+ channels may restore excitability ...

Chloride channels in myotonia congenita assessed by velocity recovery cycles [PDF]
Introduction: Myotonia congenita (MC) is caused by congenital defects in the muscle chloride channel CLC-1. This study used muscle velocity recovery cycles (MVRCs) to investigate how membrane function is affected.

Anesthetic management of a patient with sodium-channel myotonia: a case report
Background Sodium-channel myotonia (SCM) is a nondystrophic myotonia, characterized by pure myotonia without muscle weakness or paramyotonia. The prevalence of skeletal muscle channelopathies is approximately 1 in 100,000, and the prevalence of SCM is ...

Malignant Hyperthermia in Sweden: Clinical Presentations and Genetic Findings
ABSTRACT Introduction Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic, hypermetabolic and potentially lethal reaction to potent volatile anaesthetics and the muscle relaxant succinylcholine. To improve the understanding of MH, the aim of this retrospective study was to describe the Swedish cohort with respect to clinical manifestations, demographics ...
