Patients with Neuromuscular Disorder
Medical Clinics of North America, 2013This article describes the preoperative preparation of patients with neuromuscular disorders. These entities are a relatively rare and diverse group of diseases that can affect various organ systems in addition to the central nervous system. The anesthetic implications for the various comorbidities are varied and can be profound.

Neuromuscular Junction Disorders
PM&R, 2013AbstractDisorders of the neuromuscular junction, such as myasthenia gravis and Lambert‐Eaton myasthenic syndrome, constitute an important and treatable class of diseases. Both disorders are typically caused by an immunologically mediated attack on discrete components of the neuromuscular junction, compromise the efficacy of neurotransmitter ...

Neuromuscular junction disorders
2016Diseases of the neuromuscular junction comprise a wide range of disorders. Antibodies, genetic mutations, specific drugs or toxins interfere with the number or function of one of the essential proteins that control signaling between the presynaptic nerve ending and the postsynaptic muscle membrane.

SLEEP AND NEUROMUSCULAR DISORDERS
Neurologic Clinics, 1996Polysomnographic evaluation in the sleep laboratory is recommended for patients with neuromuscular disorders who develop symptoms and sign of sleep-wake abnormality or nocturnal respiratory failure. Nocturnal sleep-related ventilatory alterations may occur in disproportion to the severity of the neuromuscular disorder. Diaphragmatic paralysis occurring

Neuromuscular disorders in pregnancy
Muscle & Nerve, 2006AbstractMany neuromuscular conditions occur more frequently during pregnancy and include carpal tunnel syndrome, Bell's palsy, lumbosacral radiculopathy, meralgia paresthetica, intercostal neuralgia, and other compression neuropathies. Preexisting or coincident neuromuscular diseases, including demyelinating polyneuropathies, inflammatory muscle ...

Scoliosis in neuromuscular disorders
International Orthopaedics, 1980Hundred-seventy patients with the 4 commonest degenerative neuro-muscular disorders (limbgirdle and Duchenne muscular dystrphy, Kugelberg-Welander's spinal muscular atrophy and peroneal muscular atrophy) were screened for scoliosis, which was found in 56%.

Therapy for neuromuscular disorders
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2009Research into therapeutic approaches for both recessive and dominant neuromuscular disorders has made great progress over the past few years. In the field of gene therapy, antisense-mediated exon skipping is being applied to bypass deleterious mutations in the dystrophin gene and restore dystrophin expression in animal models of muscular dystrophy ...

Paraneoplastic neuromuscular disorders
Muscle & Nerve, 2012AbstractIntroduction: Paraneoplastic neurological disorders are rare autoimmune conditions that can affect any part of the nervous system, including the peripheral nervous system. These disorders are associated with certain types of cancer, and the peripheral nervous system dysfunction often precedes the symptoms from the cancer itself.

Neuromuscular Disorders in Pregnancy
Neurologic Clinics, 2012Preexisting and coincident neuromuscular disorders in pregnancy are challenging for clinicians because of the heterogeneity of disease and the limited data in the literature. Many questions arise regarding the effect of disease on the pregnancy, delivery, and newborn in addition to the effect of pregnancy on the course of disease.
