Fatigue and neuromuscular diseases

Annales de Réadaptation et de Médecine Physique, 2006
To identify the role of fatigue, its evaluation and its causes in the pathophysiology context of acquired or hereditary neuromuscular diseases of the spinal anterior horn cell, peripheral nerve, neuromuscular junction and muscle.A literature review has been done on Medline with the following keywords: neuromuscular disease, peripheral neuropathy ...

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.

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.
