Neuromuscular disorders in childhood
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1994The understanding of the molecular genetics of inherited neuromuscular disorders has unfolded rapidly in recent years. Identification of the genetic defects involved has enhanced diagnosis, prognosis, carrier detection, and prenatal diagnosis and has provided a basis for rational treatment strategies.

Neuromuscular disorders and sleep
Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2005Neuromuscular disorders are caused by the primary involvement of the motor unit. In these patients, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) due to respiratory muscle weakness is often encountered during sleep. Because there is a tendency to overlook this disorder, all patients with neuromuscular disorders should be questioned about SDB.

Neuromuscular Disorders in the Newborn
Clinics in Perinatology, 1997The main manifestations of neuromuscular disease in the newborn period are hypotonia and weakness. Infants with severe hypotonia but only marginal weakness usually do not have a disorder of the lower motor unit. These infants may have genetic conditions, metabolic disturbances, congenital heart disease, hypothyroidism, sepsis, or other systemic ...

Electrodiagnosis in Neuromuscular Disorders
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1981Nerve conduction and stimulation studies and needle electromyography are useful in objectively verifying the presence of disease of nerve and muscle. How pathologic alterations in muscle and nerve produce the electrical abnormalities detected by these combined techniques is explored to guide the clinician in distinguishing whether a neuromuscular ...

Neuromuscular Disorders and Anaesthesia
1999Adequate muscle power and excellent co-ordination of muscles are essential for survival. Ventilation depends on muscle power so much that life is threatened within few minutes without the rhythmic and perpetual action of breathing muscles. Other muscles keep the airway open.

Paraneoplastic neuromuscular disorders
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2004Paraneoplastic neuromuscular disorders are those in which injury to the nervous system occurs sufficiently often with a particular cancer to suggest an association, yet the injury is not related to direct invasion or metastasis of the tumor and is not caused by cancer therapy. These syndromes have been well reviewed by several authors [1–4].

Neuromuscular disorders of childhood
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1999Neuromuscular disorders are common causes of weakness and hypotonia in the infantile period and in childhood. Accurate diagnosis of specific neuromuscular disorders depends first on identification of which aspect of the peripheral neuromuscular system is affected--the motor neuron in the spinal cord, the nerve root or peripheral nerve, the ...

Neuromuscular Disorders in the Newborn
Clinics in Perinatology, 1989This article outlines the approach to clinical evaluation of the hypotonic newborn with suspected neuromuscular disease. Specific conditions that affect primarily the anterior horn cell, peripheral nerve, neuromuscular junction, and skeletal muscle are reviewed in the context of current understanding of the development of the motor system. Thus, it may

Neuromuscular junctional disorders
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2008Neuromuscular junctional disorders (NMJ) in children are distinct entity. They may be acquired or hereditary. They pose problem in diagnosis because of the higher occurrence of sero negative Myasthenia Gravis (MG) cases in children. The identity of MusK antibody positivity in a good percentage of sero negative cases further adds to problems in ...

Remediable Neuromuscular Disorders
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1975Generalized muscular weakness may develop from a variety of causes, and in many cases is reversible with appropriate treatment of the underlying disorder.
