Late-onset neuromuscular disorders in the differential diagnosis of sarcopenia [PDF]
, 2021 BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Undiagnosed late-onset neuromuscular disorders need to be considered in the differential diagnosis of sarcopenia.

Analysis of the rate of force development reveals high neuromuscular fatigability in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2023 Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) induces muscle wasting and a reduction in the maximum voluntary force (MVF). Little is known about the neuromuscular fatigability in CKD patients, defined as the reduction of muscle force capacities during exercise. Neuromuscular fatigability is a crucial physical parameter of the daily living. The quantification

BDNF-dependent modulation of axonal transport is selectively impaired in ALS
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2022 Axonal transport ensures long-range delivery of essential cargoes between proximal and distal compartments, and is needed for neuronal development, function, and survival.

The genetic profile of childhood neuromuscular disorders: A single center experience [PDF]
, 2023 Neuromuscular Diseases are a heterogeneous group of childhood disorders, and differential diagnosis can be challenging. Although there is no definitive treatment for the most of this group of diseases, early diagnosis is important with the development of

Neuromuscular Diseases and Bone
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are inherited or acquired conditions affecting skeletal muscles, motor nerves, or neuromuscular junctions. Most of them are characterized by a progressive damage of muscle fibers with reduced muscle strength, disability, and poor health-related quality of life of affected patients.
