Sleep and Neuromuscular Disease [PDF]

Seminars in Neurology, 2009
Sleep disorders in patients with neuromuscular disease are common, but underrecognized by health care providers, and sometimes by patients themselves. Their symptoms may be confused with those of the underlying disease. Their recognition is an important part of the management of patients with neuromuscular disorders, improving quality of life, and ...

Exercise in Neuromuscular Disease

Seminars in Neurology, 2014
In this review, the authors present an overview of the role of exercise in neuromuscular disease (NMD). The authors demonstrate that despite the different pathologies in NMDs, exercise is beneficial, whether aerobic/endurance or strength/resistive training. The authors analyze methodological flaws of existing studies and suggest improvements for future

Hyperestrogenemia in neuromuscular diseases

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1989
In order to elucidate the relationship between certain neuromuscular diseases and gonadal hormones, we measured the levels of serum estrogens and other sex-related hormones. The values were compared with those for age-matched controls. The cases, comprising bulbospinal muscular disease of the Kennedy-Alter-Sung type, Kugelberg-Welander disease ...

Neuromuscular Diseases in Pregnancy

Seminars in Neurology, 2007
Neuromuscular disease in pregnancy is a broad topic and includes focal neuropathies that occur with increased incidence during pregnancy and the puerperium, as well as preexisting inherited neuropathies or myopathies and chronic autoimmune diseases such as myasthenia gravis and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

Therapy in neuromuscular disease

Neurologic Clinics, 2001
The therapy of myasthenia gravis and inflammatory myopathy are discussed in detail in this article. The discussion of these two disorders illustrates the extraordinary progress that has been achieved in the therapy of neuromuscular disease.

Sleep in Neuromuscular Diseases

Sleep Medicine Clinics, 2016
Sleep disorders in neuromuscular disorders are generally caused by respiratory dysfunction associated with these diseases. Hypoventilation in neuromuscular diseases results from both respiratory muscle weakness and reduced chemoreceptor sensitivity, which is required for ventilatory drive.

Neuromuscular disease and hypoventilation

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1999
Alveolar hypoventilation associated with neuromuscular disease can occur in acute and chronic forms. In the acute form, progressive weakness of respiratory muscles leads to rapid reduction in vital capacity followed by respiratory failure with hypoxemia and hypercarbia.

Neuromuscular Disease and the Chest

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977
SOME adults with complaints of weakness and fatigue have an underlying specific neuromuscular disease. In these patients the neuromuscular symptoms may be associated with potentially more serious nonneuromuscular abnormalities. The chest roentgenogram may provide a clue to the diagnosis of a systemic disorder responsible for muscular weakness ...

Neuromuscular diseases of childhood

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1993
This review covers three areas. First, dramatic progress in the discovery of abnormal loci on certain chromosomes associated with several motor unit diseases eventually will obviate the need for more invasive testing. Second, new information about the natural course of spinal muscular atrophy is beginning to clarify the nature of this disease.
