ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Phrenic nerve involvement in neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) may cause diaphragm paresis and respiratory impairment, for which chronic non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) may be beneficial. Data on treatment success and predictors are lacking.

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) results in respiratory muscle weakness causing hypoventilation, retention of carbon dioxide (CO2), and chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure. In this pilot study, we performed a 12‐month assessment of daytime and home nocturnal CO2 to track respiratory progression, determine relationships

Time‐to‐Event Analysis of Clinical Milestones in the ALS Natural History Consortium Dataset
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Study of clinical milestones, particularly intermediate events like loss of ambulation, in large amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cohorts is limited. Here, we leverage the ALS Natural History Consortium dataset to evaluate the time‐to‐event for several outcomes and prognostic factors that predict risk. Methods Longitudinal

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a progressive inflammatory myopathy characterized by weakness of the quadriceps and finger flexors, and often accompanied by dysphagia, resulting in substantial functional impairment. However, there is limited data on the daily living conditions and support needs of patients.

Abstract Background Gastrostomy tube placement is a common intervention for long‐term nutrition in people with dysphagia. Minimising complications such as tube dislodgement is integral in gastrostomy management, as unplanned replacements may require urgent care to prevent stoma closure.

There is general agreement that noninvasive ventilation (NIV) prolongs survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and that the main cause of NIV failure is the severity of bulbar dysfunction. However, there is no evidence that bulbar impairment is a
