Neuromuscular Diseases of the Newborn

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2019
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is composed of motor neurons, nerve roots, plexuses, peripheral nerves (motor, sensory and autonomic), neuromuscular junction, and skeletal muscles. Disorders of the PNS in neonates most frequently cause weakness, hypotonia, and contractures, which may be generalized or focal. Since these findings may also occur with

Neuromuscular disease and anesthesia

Muscle & Nerve, 2013
ABSTRACTPatients with neuromuscular disease pose many anesthetic challenges and are at greater risk for perioperative complications, including respiratory or cardiovascular dysfunction and pulmonary aspiration. Therefore, these patients require special precautions, including interdisciplinary communication between primary care physicians, neurologists,

The Epidemiology of Neuromuscular Diseases

Neurologic Clinics, 2016
Neuromuscular disorders as a group are linked by anatomy with significant differences in pathogenetic mechanisms, clinical expression, and time course of disease. Each neuromuscular disease is relatively uncommon, yet causes a significant burden of disease socioeconomically.

Neuromuscular disease and the pulmonologist

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2012
The heterogeneous nature of neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) continues to promote slow but steady advances in diagnosis, classification, and treatment. This review focuses on the updates in the general management and treatment of NMDs, with emphasis on key updates in muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, mitochondrial myopathy, spinal muscular atrophy,

Electrophysiology in neuromuscular disease

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2002
Electrophysiologic assessment of the peripheral nervous system is an integral part of the diagnostic workup for neuromuscular disease. This article is designed to provide insight into the importance and limitations of the various testing procedures now available in veterinary electrophysiology and to provide the reader with an understanding of the ...

Exercise in Neuromuscular Disease

Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease, 2003
In the past, patients with neuromuscular diseases were advised not to exercise because of the fear that too much exercise might produce "overuse weakness." No controlled studies have demonstrated that the phenomenon of overuse weakness actually exists.

Dynamics of Neuromuscular Diseases

Archives of Neurology, 1959
For the past 30 odd years, electromyography has been used to aid in the understanding and investigation of abnormal function or of dysfunction of the lower motor neuron, more specifically of the motor unit. During the latter part of this period, clinical electromyography has been developed specifically to understand the abnormality of dysfunction of ...

Electrodiagnosis in Neuromuscular Diseases

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 1998
This article provides a general approach to the electrodiagnostic evaluation of the patient with neuromuscular disease. The electrodiagnostic findings in patients with various forms of peripheral neuropathy, motor neuron disease, neuromuscular junction disorders, and myopathy are presented. The pediatric electrodiagnostic evaluation is also discussed.

Other Neuromuscular Diseases

2011
Progressive neurologic and muscle diseases can cause progressive and severe scoliosis. Some of these diseases include Duchenne muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, Rett syndrome, and congenital myopathies. Besides the severe scoliosis, these diseases commonly affect other organ systems including the pulmonary
