Electroacupuncture and category IV LASER for treating suprascapular neuropathy in a two‐year‐old Arabian filly

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 2‐year‐old Arabian filly presented with acute onset grade 4/5 (AAEP) right forelimb lameness and hindlimb ataxia following a collision with another horse and subsequent fall. The right forelimb lameness was associated with marked scapulohumeral joint instability.

Utility of Far‐Field Potentials as a Biomarker of Neurodegeneration in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 1089-1095, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Far field potentials (FFP) have been proposed as a reliable neurophysiological prognostic biomarker in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This study evaluated the utility of ulnar nerve FFP as a robust research biomarker of lower motor neuron degeneration in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Nemo-like kinase is a novel regulator of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy

eLife, 2015
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a progressive neuromuscular disease caused by polyglutamine expansion in the androgen receptor (AR) protein. Despite extensive research, the exact pathogenic mechanisms underlying SBMA remain elusive.

Neurotoxic effects of androgens in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy

Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, 2011
Expansion of polyglutamine tracts in nine different genes causes selective neuronal degeneration through unknown mechanisms. Expansion of polyglutamine in the androgen receptor is responsible for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), a neuromuscular disorder characterized by the loss of lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord.

Risdiplam Add‐On Therapy Following Onasemnogene Abeparvovec in Children With Spinal Muscular Atrophy and 2 SMN2 Copies: A Multi‐Center Case Series

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 1164-1171, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Three disease‐modifying therapies are approved for individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA); however, data concerning the combination of these therapies remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of add‐on risdiplam in children who had experienced clinical deterioration despite gene therapy ...

“Silent Echoes of the Day: Dream Content Analysis in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis”

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
ALS reshapes waking life through motor decline, social withdrawal, loneliness, and altered body image. Consistent with the continuity hypothesis, these changes may persist in dreams. In 68 ALS outpatients, a 7‐night dream diary yielded 127 reports, coded with the Hall–Van de Castle system (DreamSAT).

Neuromuscular magnetic stimulation counteracts muscle decline in ALS patients: results of a randomized, double-blind, controlled study [PDF]

, 2019
The aim of the study was to verify whether neuromuscular magnetic stimulation (NMMS) improves muscle function in spinal-onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA)

Human Genetics, 2001
X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy is characterized by adult onset motor neuron disease and results from a defect in the androgen receptor. The disease is caused by a dynamic mutation in the first exon of the androgen receptor gene, involving a CAG trinucleotide repeat.
