A complex network approach to time series analysis with application in diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders [PDF]
Electromyography (EMG) refers to a biomedical signal indicating neuromuscular activity and muscle morphology. Experts accurately diagnose neuromuscular disorders using this time series. Modern data analysis techniques have recently led to introducing novel approaches for mapping time series data to graphs and complex networks with applications in ...

A pilot study of the Earable device to measure facial muscle and eye movement tasks among healthy volunteers [PDF]
Many neuromuscular disorders impair function of cranial nerve enervated muscles. Clinical assessment of cranial muscle function has several limitations. Clinician rating of symptoms suffers from inter-rater variation, qualitative or semi-quantitative scoring, and limited ability to capture infrequent or fluctuating symptoms.

D{é}composition et analyse de trac{é}s EMG pour aider au diagnostic des maladies neuromusculaires [PDF]
The electromyogram (EMG) in needle detection represents one of the steps of the electroneuromyogram (ENMG), an examination commonly performed in neurology. By inserting a needle into a muscle and studying the contraction during effort, the EMG provides extremely useful information on the functioning of the neuromuscular system of an individual, but it ...

ABSTRACT C‐truncating variants in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) gene are a rare cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), previously identified only in Denmark, Belgium, and China. We report a novel CHMP2B splice‐site variant (c.35‐1G>A) associated with familial FTLD in Spain. The cases were two monozygotic male twins who
