Hypoventilation
A reduction in the amount of air entering the pulmonary alveoli.
Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne
An X-linked recessive muscle disease caused by an inability to synthesize DYSTROPHIN, which is involved with maintaining the integrity of the sarcolemma. Muscle fibers undergo a process that features degeneration and regeneration. Clinical manifestations include proximal weakness in the first few years of life, pseudohypertrophy, cardiomyopathy (see MYOCARDIAL DISEASES), and an increased incidence of impaired mentation. Becker muscular dystrophy is a closely related condition featuring a later onset of disease (usually adolescence) and a slowly progressive course.

Conditions characterized by impaired transmission of impulses at the NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION. This may result from disorders that affect receptor function, pre- or postsynaptic membrane function, or ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE activity. The majority of diseases in this category are associated with autoimmune, toxic, or inherited conditions.
Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral
An autosomal dominant degenerative muscle disease characterized by slowly progressive weakness of the muscles of the face, upper-arm, and shoulder girdle. The onset of symptoms usually occurs in the first or second decade of life. Affected individuals usually present with impairment of upper extremity elevation. This tends to be followed by facial weakness, primarily involving the orbicularis oris and orbicularis oculi muscles.

Myasthenia Gravis
A disorder of neuromuscular transmission characterized by weakness of cranial and skeletal muscles. Autoantibodies directed against acetylcholine receptors damage the motor endplate portion of the NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION, impairing the transmission of impulses to skeletal muscles. Clinical manifestations may include diplopia, ptosis, and weakness of facial, bulbar, respiratory, and proximal limb muscles. The disease may remain limited to the ocular muscles. THYMOMA is commonly associated with this condition. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1459)
Spinal Muscular Atrophies of Childhood
A group of recessively inherited diseases that feature progressive muscular atrophy and hypotonia. They are classified as type I (Werdnig-Hoffman disease), type II (intermediate form), and type III (Kugelberg-Welander disease). Type I is fatal in infancy, type II has a late infantile onset and is associated with survival into the second or third decade. Type III has its onset in childhood, and is slowly progressive.

A subtype of striated muscle, attached by TENDONS to the SKELETON. Skeletal muscles are innervated and their movement can be consciously controlled. They are also called voluntary muscles.
Positive-Pressure Respiration
A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange.
Myography
The recording of muscular movements. The apparatus is called a myograph, the record or tracing, a myogram. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
Ventilators, Mechanical
Mechanical devices used to produce or assist pulmonary ventilation.
Ophthalmoplegia
Paralysis of one or more of the ocular muscles due to disorders of the eye muscles, neuromuscular junction, supporting soft tissue, tendons, or innervation to the muscles.
Muscle Weakness
A vague complaint of debility, fatigue, or exhaustion attributable to weakness of various muscles. The weakness can be characterized as subacute or chronic, often progressive, and is a manifestation of many muscle and neuromuscular diseases. (From Wyngaarden et al., Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p2251)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
A degenerative disorder affecting upper MOTOR NEURONS in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and SPINAL CORD. Disease onset is usually after the age of 50 and the process is usually fatal within 3 to 6 years. Clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, atrophy, FASCICULATION, hyperreflexia, DYSARTHRIA, dysphagia, and eventual paralysis of respiratory function.

(From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1089-94)
Respiration Disorders
Diseases of the respiratory system in general or unspecified or for a specific respiratory disease not available.
SMN Complex Proteins
A complex of proteins that assemble the SNRNP CORE PROTEINS into a core structure that surrounds a highly conserved RNA sequence found in SMALL NUCLEAR RNA. They are found localized in the GEMINI OF COILED BODIES and in the CYTOPLASM. The SMN complex is named after the Survival of Motor Neuron Complex Protein 1, which is a critical component of the complex.
Survival of Motor Neuron 1 Protein
A SMN complex protein that is essential for the function of the SMN protein complex. In humans the protein is encoded by a single gene found near the inversion telomere of a large inverted region of CHROMOSOME 5. Mutations in the gene coding for survival of motor neuron 1 protein may result in SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHIES OF CHILDHOOD.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
An acute inflammatory autoimmune neuritis caused by T cell- mediated cellular immune response directed towards peripheral myelin. Demyelination occurs in peripheral nerves and nerve roots. The process is often preceded by a viral or bacterial infection, surgery, immunization, lymphoma, or exposure to toxins. Common clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, loss of sensation, and loss of deep tendon reflexes. Weakness of respiratory muscles and autonomic dysfunction may occur. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1312-1314)
Electric Impedance
The resistance to the flow of either alternating or direct electrical current.
Myositis
Inflammation of a muscle or muscle tissue.
Cough
A sudden, audible expulsion of air from the lungs through a partially closed glottis, preceded by inhalation. It is a protective response that serves to clear the trachea, bronchi, and/or lungs of irritants and secretions, or to prevent aspiration of foreign materials into the lungs.
Ventilator Weaning
Techniques for effecting the transition of the respiratory-failure patient from mechanical ventilation to spontaneous ventilation, while meeting the criteria that tidal volume be above a given threshold (greater than 5 ml/kg), respiratory frequency be below a given count (less than 30 breaths/min), and oxygen partial pressure be above a given threshold (PaO2 greater than 50mm Hg). Weaning studies focus on finding methods to monitor and predict the outcome of mechanical ventilator weaning as well as finding ventilatory support techniques which will facilitate successful weaning. Present methods include intermittent mandatory ventilation, intermittent positive pressure ventilation, and mandatory minute volume ventilation.
Dystrophin
A muscle protein localized in surface membranes which is the product of the Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy gene. Individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy usually lack dystrophin completely while those with Becker muscular dystrophy have dystrophin of an altered size. It shares features with other cytoskeletal proteins such as SPECTRIN and alpha-actinin but the precise function of dystrophin is not clear. One possible role might be to preserve the integrity and alignment of the plasma membrane to the myofibrils during muscle contraction and relaxation. MW 400 kDa.
Muscle Fibers, Skeletal
Large, multinucleate single cells, either cylindrical or prismatic in shape, that form the basic unit of SKELETAL MUSCLE. They consist of MYOFIBRILS enclosed within and attached to the SARCOLEMMA. They are derived from the fusion of skeletal myoblasts (MYOBLASTS, SKELETAL) into a syncytium, followed by differentiation.
Muscles
Contractile tissue that produces movement in animals.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
A hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy transmitted most often as an autosomal dominant trait and characterized by progressive distal wasting and loss of reflexes in the muscles of the legs (and occasionally involving the arms). Onset is usually in the second to fourth decade of life. This condition has been divided into two subtypes, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) types I and II. HMSN I is associated with abnormal nerve conduction velocities and nerve hypertrophy, features not seen in HMSN II. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1343)
Sleep Apnea Syndromes
Disorders characterized by multiple cessations of respirations during sleep that induce partial arousals and interfere with the maintenance of sleep. Sleep apnea syndromes are divided into central (see SLEEP APNEA, CENTRAL), obstructive (see SLEEP APNEA, OBSTRUCTIVE), and mixed central-obstructive types.
Muscular Atrophy
Derangement in size and number of muscle fibers occurring with aging, reduction in blood supply, or following immobilization, prolonged weightlessness, malnutrition, and particularly in denervation.
Scoliosis
An appreciable lateral deviation in the normally straight vertical line of the spine. (Dorland, 27th ed)
Mice, Inbred mdx
A strain of mice arising from a spontaneous MUTATION (mdx) in inbred C57BL mice. This mutation is X chromosome-linked and produces viable homozygous animals that lack the muscle protein DYSTROPHIN, have high serum levels of muscle ENZYMES, and possess histological lesions similar to human MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY. The histological features, linkage, and map position of mdx make these mice a worthy animal model of DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY.
Mucus
The viscous secretion of mucous membranes. It contains mucin, white blood cells, water, inorganic salts, and exfoliated cells.
Respiratory Function Tests
Measurement of the various processes involved in the act of respiration: inspiration, expiration, oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, lung volume and compliance, etc.
Vital Capacity
The volume of air that is exhaled by a maximal expiration following a maximal inspiration.

Lower motor neuron disease with accumulation of neurofilaments in a cat. (1/660)

A young cat had signs of tetraparesis that progressed to tetraplegia within a few weeks. Clinically, there was lower motor neuron disease with areflexia and muscle atrophy in all limbs. Degeneration of the motor neurons in the spinal cord was seen on histological examination. Ultrastructurally, the degeneration of nerve cells was characterized by abnormal proliferation of neurofilaments. These findings were compared to other motor neuron diseases and neurofibrillary accumulations in man and animals.  (+info)

Neuromyotonia: an unusual presentation of intrathoracic malignancy. (2/660)

A 48 year old woman is described who presented with increasing muscular rigidity and who was found to have a mediastinal tumour. Electrophysiological studies revealed that the muscular stiffness resulted from very high frequency motor unit activity which outlasted voluntary effort, and which was abolished by nerve block. The abnormal activity may have arisen at the anterior horn cell level. Marked improvement followed the administration of diphenylhydantoin.  (+info)

Toxic polyneuropathy of shoe-industry workers. A study of 122 cases. (3/660)

The toxic polyneuropathy observed in a group of shoe-industry workers in Italy was clinically characterised by a symmetrical prevalently distal motor deficit, with occasional marked weakness of pelvic girdle muscles, and frequently by only subjective sensory symptoms; non-specific disturbances usually preceded neurological signs. Subclinical cases of 'minimal' chronic neuropathy, characterised by alterations of a neurogenic type in the EMG without a reduction of motor nerve conduction velocity, were also observed. Worsening of the clinical picture, with further lowering of nerve conduction velocity, was noted in some cases up to four months after removal from the toxic environment. In the most severe cases clinical recovery took up to three years. The electromyographic and electroneurographic features were consistent with a mixed axonal neuropathy, with clear prevalence of the damage in the distal part of the nerve (dying-back neuropathy). Volatile substances, such as n-hexane and other low boiling point hydrocarbons found in high percentage in solvents and glues, are suggested as the causative agent.  (+info)

The 'MW' sacropelvic construct: an enhanced fixation of the lumbosacral junction in neuromuscular pelvic obliquity. (4/660)

Fixation to the lumbosacral spine to correct pelvic obliquity in neuromuscular scoliosis has always remained a surgical challenge. The strongest fixation of the lumbosacral junction has been achieved with either a Galveston technique with rods or screws or with iliosacral screws. We have devised a new fixation system, in which iliosacral screws are combined with iliac screws. This is made possible by using the AO Universal Spine System with side opening hooks above and below the iliosacral screws and iliac screws below it. The whole sacropelvis is thus encompassed by a maximum width (MW) fixation, which gives an 'M' appearance on the pelvic radiographs and a 'W' appearance in the axial plane. We report on our surgical technique and the early results where such a technique was used. We feel that this new means of fixation (by combining the strongest fixation systems) is extremely solid and should be included in the wide armamentarium of sacropelvic fixation.  (+info)

Autonomic dysfunction in patients with nocturnal hypoventilation in extrapulmonary restrictive disease. (5/660)

In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persistent hypoxia may be associated with autonomic dysfunction. The effect of nocturnal oxygen desaturation on autonomic function in patients with chest wall deformities and neuromuscular disease is unknown. This study examined the effect of nocturnal oxygen desaturation upon heart rate variability, a sensitive measure of autonomic function. Twenty-seven patients with chest wall deformity or neuromuscular disease underwent analysis of overnight oximetry, blood gases, and 24 h heart rate variability (HRV), specifically the standard deviation of normal-to-normal (SDNN) RR intervals, and the number of increases in successive NN intervals >50 ms (SNN50). Subjects were grouped according to nocturnal arterial oxygen saturation (Sa,O2): group 1 had episodes of Sa,O2 <90%, group 2 had Sa,O2 >90% throughout the night, and group 3 were 27 healthy age-matched controls who also underwent HRV analysis. The mean+/-SD SDNN for group 1 was 79.3+/-23.7 ms, less than group 2 (149.8+/-58.9 ms, p<0.02) and group 3 (155.1+/-37.1 ms, p<0.001). The geometric mean sNN50 was less in group 1 than group 2 (1,530 versus 5,843, p<0.01), but not significantly different from group 3 (2,712, p=0.053). There was no significant difference between groups 2 and 3. Within group 1, both SDNN and sNN50 were significantly lower in those patients with more severe nocturnal hypoxia. The minimum overnight Sa,O2 was the best predictor of abnormal HRV. In conclusion, patients with nocturnal hypoxia have evidence of autonomic dysfunction, even in cases with only transient episodes of nocturnal oxygen desaturation. The severity of autonomic dysfunction is related to the degree of nocturnal oxygen desaturation.  (+info)

Bethlem myopathy and engineered collagen VI triple helical deletions prevent intracellular multimer assembly and protein secretion. (6/660)

Mutations in the genes that code for collagen VI subunits, COL6A1, COL6A2, and COL6A3, are the cause of the autosomal dominant disorder, Bethlem myopathy. Although three different collagen VI structural mutations have previously been reported, the effect of these mutations on collagen VI assembly, structure, and function is currently unknown. We have characterized a new Bethlem myopathy mutation that results in skipping of COL6A1 exon 14 during pre-mRNA splicing and the deletion of 18 amino acids from the triple helical domain of the alpha1(VI) chain. Sequencing of genomic DNA identified a G to A transition in the +1 position of the splice donor site of intron 14 in one allele. The mutant alpha1(VI) chains associated intracellularly with alpha2(VI) and alpha3(VI) to form disulfide-bonded monomers, but further assembly into dimers and tetramers was prevented, and molecules containing the mutant chain were not secreted. This triple helical deletion thus resulted in production of half the normal amount of collagen VI. To further explore the biosynthetic consequences of collagen VI triple helical deletions, an alpha3(VI) cDNA expression construct containing a 202-amino acid deletion within the triple helix was produced and stably expressed in SaOS-2 cells. The transfected mutant alpha3(VI) chains associated with endogenous alpha1(VI) and alpha2(VI) to form collagen VI monomers, but dimers and tetramers did not form and the mutant-containing molecules were not secreted. Thus, deletions within the triple helical region of both the alpha1(VI) and alpha3(VI) chains can prevent intracellular dimer and tetramer assembly and secretion. These results provide the first evidence of the biosynthetic consequences of structural collagen VI mutations and suggest that functional protein haploinsufficiency may be a common pathogenic mechanism in Bethlem myopathy.  (+info)

Expression of selectin families and their ligand sialyl Lewis X in the muscles of inflammatory myopathies: an immunohistochemical study. (7/660)

OBJECT: Adhesion molecules are suggested to play important roles in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. We examined the expression of adhesion molecules in the muscles of human inflammatory myopathies. METHODS: We immunohistochemically studied the expression and distribution of two molecules in the selectin family (E- and P-selectin) and their common ligand sialyl Lewis X in 18 inflammatory myopathies, 13 disease controls, and 16 normal controls. RESULTS: In inflammatory myopathies, E- and P-selectin were upregulated on the surface of blood vessels, especially on the endothelial cells of the venules. Sialyl Lewis X was upregulated in the blood vessels, infiltrating leukocytes, and the surface of some atrophic myofibers. Some control muscles also showed weakly positive staining with these molecules, however, expression of these molecules was most striking in the muscles of inflammatory myopathies. CONCLUSION: The results suggested that these molecules are upregulated in inflammatory myopathies and might play a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory myopathies.  (+info)

Progressive myelopathy caused by dural arteriovenous fistula at the craniocervical junction--case report. (8/660)

A 68-year-old male presented an unusual dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) located at the craniocervical junction. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed dilated perimedullary veins around the spinal cord at C-1 and C-2 levels, as well as high intensity signals in the spinal cord on T2-weighted images. Vertebral angiography identified an AVF at the point where the right vertebral artery penetrates the dura. The fistula was a single and direct communication between the vertebral artery and the spinal vein. Surgical interruption of the fistula at its venous side resulted in prompt improvement of both motor and sensory signs and symptoms.  (+info)

The pattern of ventilatory impairment among these disorders is highly dependent on the specific neuromuscular disease. For example, some disorders may impair ventilation at only one level (e.g., isolated diaphragm paralysis) or simultaneously affect it at different levels (e.g., multiple sclerosis [MS]). In addition, the severity of impairment may be minimal and totally resolve with time and proper treatment (e.g., Guillain-Barré syndrome [GBS]) or is characterized by relentless progression to eventual respiratory death (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS]). Moreover, some neuromuscular diseases concomitantly affect several structures (e.g., swallowing dysfunction in poliomyelitis, interstitial lung disease in polymyositis), increasing ventilatory workload in patients who already have diminished ventilatory reserve. ...

TRANSITION FOR NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE | Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & PsychiatryTRANSITION FOR NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE | Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry
Advances in medical management, in particular the introduction of home ventilation in the 1990 s, has resulted in prolonged survival beyond early adulthood for children with severe neuromuscular diseases such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Seamless transition is thus becoming increasingly important and has been highlighted as a priority area for review by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Poor transition can result in poor compliance and worse medical outcomes. Many young people with neuromuscular disease require a complex multi-disciplinary package of care, as highlighted in the NICE accredited standards of care for DMD. Negotiating fragmented adult services is a challenge for this population, and poor compliance may lead to costly prolonged unplanned emergency admissions, often to intensive care. At Queen Square we have developed a specialised unit called the neuromuscular complex care centre (NMCCC) which provides a one-stop shop model of care with access to all of the medical ...

When JNNP first began publishing articles in 1921 the structure of DNA was unknown, and today we have effective gene-targeted therapies that alter the course of multiple neuromuscular diseases. One year ago, we were challenged to consider the most important or transformative development in neurology in the past 100 years and how JNNP contributed to this achievement given its broad scope. To our surprise, no nomination for neuromuscular disorders made the final list. Therefore, we wish to put forth a nomination for neuromuscular disorders. We contend the subspeciality of neuromuscular disorders leads the neurologic community in the most important achievements in the last 100 years: discovering the genetic etiology of previously untreatable neuromuscular disorders and turning these discoveries into therapies.. ...

Nutritional status has been demonstrated to be a major factor for predicting survival in COPD independently of lung function 4-7. The present study is original with respect to the characteristics of patients and the nutritional approach. First, this study specifically addressed stable outpatients with chronic hypoxaemia (apart from neuromuscular diseases), requiring LTOT or/and HMV. According to these criteria, the present study addressed not only COPD patients but patients with respiratory failure of various aetiologies including neuromuscular patients even if they were younger and suffered from intrinsic neuromuscular disease. Secondly, this study provided the first multiparameter nutritional approach of malnutrition in such hypoxaemic patients. Finally, these data made it possible to assess the relationship between nutrition and disability.

Swallowing Disorders Evaluationa and Treatment | Richard Westons Myotonic Dystrophy Blog
Swallowing Disorders: Evaluation and Treatment.. Swallowing Disorders: Evaluation and Treatment.. ---------------------------. By E.R. Johnson, MD. Presented to the Neuromuscular Disease Family Education Conference, October 1996.. I am reminded of the story of three individuals, a surgeon, an engineer and a politician, who discussed the importance of their profession in the origin of the world as described in the Book of Genesis. As you know, Eve was formed from the rib of Adam and that required a surgeon. The engineer said ,yes, but before that there was order created out of chaos that required engineers. Then the politician said, And whos responsible for the chaos?. When I first began in medicine thirty-five years ago, there was chaos in the area of neuromuscular disease. My first experience with neuromuscular disease occurred in 1947, I had anterior poliomyelitis. And I still remember the rather marked muscle pain in the quite difficult swallowing which I had. Both my parents and myself ...

He served on the MDA Board for 20 years and then became the national vice president from 1991 to the time of his death. He was instrumental in developing the MDA program of university-based neuromuscular disease research and clinical centers in the 1970s.. Stanley H. Appel, MD, Edwards Distinguished ALS Professor and chair of neurology at the Methodist Neurological Institute in Houston, TX, said that Dr. DeBakey had convinced the MDA to develop a Clinical Research Center at Baylor-Methodist in 1977, and had also been influential in recruiting Dr. Appel to Houston to help establish a neuromuscular diseases center..

The safety and effectiveness of techniques to assist coughing in people with chronic neuromuscular disorders | CochraneThe safety and effectiveness of techniques to assist coughing in people with chronic neuromuscular disorders | Cochrane
Review question We reviewed the evidence on the effectiveness and safety of techniques used to assist coughing in people with chronic neuromuscular disorders (cough augmentation techniques).. Background People with neuromuscular disorders (nerve-related conditions that affect the muscles) may have difficulty coughing and clearing mucous from the airways, placing them at risk of choking, recurrent chest infections, and ongoing lung disease. Cough augmentation techniques, such as manually assisted cough, bagging (using a self-inflating bag commonly used for resuscitation), mechanical Cough Assist (a device that clears secretions by applying a positive pressure to the airway, then rapidly shifting to a negative pressure), frog breathing (a method of breathing to help a person take in a bigger volume of air), and breathstacking (the person takes a number of sequential breaths in, stacking one breath on top of the other without breathing out in between breaths) aim to improve cough effectiveness, ...

RMMG - Revista Médica de Minas Gerais
The aim of this study was to asses the physiology of the respiratory system impairment, as well as the methods used to investigate these impacts on the main neuromuscular diseases during childhood and adolescence. We performed a non-systematic review based on updated medical literature through a Medline research with the key words: neuromuscular disease, respiratory, ventilation, non-invasive ventilation, ethics. Also, were selected books published in the past five years and information from Neuromuscular Disorders Associations. All data was selected according to its relevancy on the purpose of the study. Respiratory muscle weakness is the main cause of progressive impairment of respiratory system function. Due to it, patients frequently develop thoracic scoliosis, reduced chest wall and pulmonary compliance. These impacts are not often preventedly treated, which leads to worsening of symptoms. The most common cause of acute respiratory failure is the respiratory tract infection due to the ...

Neuromuscular disorders may affect patients in every age, their course is mostly progressive, and they may be associated with physical impairment and even a reduced life span. Apart from the muscles (myopathy), neuromuscular disorders may affect the motor nerves (motoneuron disorders and neuropathies) or the neuromuscular transmission from nerve to muscle (myasthenic syndromes). Patients with neuromuscular disorders may suffer from weakness, palsies and muscle wasting, but may also experience pain, sensory disturbances, breathing, speech and swallowing problems. Several neuromuscular disorders are congenital or genetically determined. The most frequent entity in childhood is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), affecting one of 3500 boys. DMD manifests in early childhood, usually with subtle leg weakness which progresses to other muscle groups with increasing age. Other genetically determined neuromuscular disorders may manifest in infancy but also later in life, such as congenital myopathies, ...

Surgery: 104 cases were evaluated. 71 showed complete recovery, 84% with near nomal function. Important additional measures to consider: eye care, eye-lid surgery, facial rehabilitation, botulinus toxin injections for symptomatic synkineses. Particularly in muscle disease, imaging allows estimation of the pattern of distribution of the disease in various muscles. In patients with considerable muscle atrophy and fatty replacement, imaging helps in the selection of the muscle to be biopsied. Nerve biopsy The sural nerve is the most frequently biopsied nerve.

The investigators laboratory has been studying families with a history of ALS for more than 25 years and is continuing to use new ways to understand how genes may play a role in ALS, motor neuron disease and other neuromuscular disorders.. The purpose of this study is to identify additional genes that may cause or put a person at risk for either familial ALS (meaning 2 or more people in a family who have had ALS), sporadic ALS, or other forms of motor neuron disease in the hopes of improving diagnosis and treatment. As new genes are found that may be linked to ALS in families or individuals, the investigators can then further study how that gene may be contributing to the disease by studying it down to the protein and molecular level. This includes all forms of ALS, motor neuron disease and ALS with fronto-temporal dementia(ALS/FTD). We also continue to study other forms of neuromuscular disease such as Miyoshi myopathy, FSH dystrophy and other forms of muscular dystrophy by looking at the genes ...

The median height and weight of DMD boys were normally distributed before ages 9-10, but during the second decade height was markedly reduced, and weight was no longer normally distributed. Younger boys gained more weight than normals, whereas older individuals actually showed weight loss. Manual muscle test (MMT) measurements showed loss of strength in a fairly linear fashion from ages 5-13 yr, -0.25 MMT units per year.

Systemic Delivery of MicroRNA Using Recombinant Adeno-associated Virus Serotype 9 to Treat Neuromuscular Diseases in Rodents. -...
RNA interference via the endogenous miRNA pathway regulates gene expression by controlling protein synthesis through post-transcriptional gene silencing. In recent years, miRNA-mediated gene regulation has shown potential for treatment of neurological disorders caused by a toxic gain of function mechanism. However, efficient delivery to target tissues has limited its application. Here we used a transgenic mouse model for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), a neuromuscular disease caused by polyglutamine expansion in the androgen receptor (AR), to test gene silencing by a newly identified AR-targeting miRNA, miR-298. We overexpressed miR-298 using a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) serotype 9 vector to facilitate transduction of non-dividing cells. A single tail-vein injection in SBMA mice induced sustained and widespread overexpression of miR-298 in skeletal muscle and motor neurons and resulted in amelioration of the neuromuscular phenotype in the mice.

Neuromuscular Diseases | NINDS Common Data ElementsNeuromuscular Diseases | NINDS Common Data Elements
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and other Federal agencies and international organizations have the common mission of developing data standards for clinical research. Through the efforts of subject-specific working groups, topic-driven data elements have been created. The first set of Common Data Elements (CDEs) for Neuromuscular Diseases was developed in 2011. The Core data elements to be used by an investigator when beginning a research study in this disease/disorder are listed in the Start-up Resource Listing.. Many of the CDEs will overlap across study types, which allows for comparisons and meta-analysis across studies. Consistency of the data elements and the CDE formats is kept in order to ensure the ability to transfer critical medical information electronically from one center to another. This consistency also allows for continuity across different disease areas. The goals of the NINDS CDE initiative are to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of ...

Invasive Treatment Strategy May Increase Survival For Patients With Certain Neuromuscular Disorder - RedorbitInvasive Treatment Strategy May Increase Survival For Patients With Certain Neuromuscular Disorder - Redorbit
Patients with a cardiac irregularity and myotonic dystrophy type 1 (a severe neuromuscular disorder with a high risk of sudden death) who received an invasive treatment strategy that included testing of their hearts electrical conduction system and if needed, implantation of a device such as a pacemaker, had an associated higher rate of 9-year survival compared to patients treated noninvasively, according to a study in the March 28 issue of JAMA.. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM 1) is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease in adults, with an incidence of 1 in 8,000. The manifestations of the disease include muscle weakness, myotonia [abnormally long muscular contractions], multiple endocrine disorders, respiratory insufficiency, and cardiac abnormalities. The prevention of sudden death is central to patient management, according to background information in the article. Progression of conduction system (special muscle fibers that conduct electrical impulses throughout the muscle of the ...

This months Editors Choice, by Sahetya et al, is a small,prospective, physiologic study adjusting driving pressurethrough manipulation of positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP). When the lowest driving pressure was reached,the stability over time was assessed. Compared to PEEPset using the low PEEP/FIO2 table from the ARDSnet, adecrease in driving pressure was associated with an increasein PEEP in 6 subjects and decrease in 4. Importantly, afterthe change in PEEP, driving pressure stabilized in less than5 minutes. Dries and Marini provide comment, noting thatthe best PEEP is tidal volume dependent. They argue for anempiric approach to PEEP, as the impact of PEEP on drivingpressure is related to lung recruitability..

In Study III, we aimed at validating the co-occurrence of ALS and other neuromuscular diseases, investigating the temporal relationship between the diagnoses and clinical characteristics of patients with both ALS and other neuromuscular diseases. Using information from the Swedish Patient Register, we identified all patients diagnosed with ALS in Sweden between 1991 and 2014, who had also a concurrent MS, myasthenia gravis (MG), inflammatory polyneuropathies (IP), or dermatopolymyositis (DMPM). The group included 263 patients. We validated medical records for 92% of these patients to confirm the overlap. Then, we compared patients with a confirmed overlap (N=28) with an independent sample of patients with only ALS (N=271). Among the patients with a validated overlap, 12 had a confirmed diagnosis of MS, nine a confirmed diagnosis of MG, four a confirmed diagnosis of IP, and three a confirmed diagnosis of DMPM. Seventy-nine percent of the patients with a confirmed overlap had these diagnoses prior ...

Neuromuscular disordersNeuromuscular disorders
Therapy obviously depends as to the precise nature of the problem. Some neuromuscular diseases have a specific therapy for example endocrine disorders (hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus); Myasthenia gravis (Pyridostigmine and immunosuppressive therapy); and antiprotozoal agents for Toxoplasmosis and Neosporosis. For many degenerative neuropathies there is no treatment however some improve when given dietary supplements such as the mitochondrial co-factor L-Carnitine 50mg/kg twice daily and anti-oxidants such as gamma linoleic acid and omgea-3-fatty acids. Many severely tetraparetic animals will require considerable supportive care as well. For example, a pet which is unable to swallow may require feeding through a (PEG) tube into the stomach ...

Robust Classification of Intramuscular EMG Signals to Aid the Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Disorders - EMBSRobust Classification of Intramuscular EMG Signals to Aid the Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Disorders - EMBS
Objective: This article presents the design and validation of an accurate automatic diagnostic system to classify intramuscular EMG (iEMG) signals into healthy, myopathy, or neuropathy categories to aid the diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases. Method: First, an iEMG signal is decimated to produce a set of disjoint downsampled signals, which are decomposed by the lifting wavelet transform (LWT). The Higuchis fractal dimensions (FDs) of LWT coefficients in the subbands are computed. The FDs of LWT subband coefficients are fused with one-dimensional local binary pattern derived from each downsampled signal. Next, a multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) determines the class labels of downsampled signals. Finally, the sequence of class labels is fed to the Boyer-Moore majority vote (BMMV) algorithm, which assigns a class to every iEMG signal. Result: The MLPNN-BMMV classifier was experimented with 250 iEMG signals belonging to three categories. The performance of the classifier was validated ...

The growing interest of the industry production in wearable robots for assistance and rehabilitation purposes opens the challenge for developing intuitive and natural control strategies. Myoelectric control, or myo-control, which consists in decoding the human motor intent from muscular activity and its mapping into control outputs, represents a natural way to establish an intimate human-machine connection. In this field, model based myo-control schemes (e.g., EMG-driven neuromusculoskeletal models, NMS) represent a valid solution for estimating the moments of the human joints. However, a model optimization is needed to adjust the models parameters to a specific subject and most of the optimization approaches presented in literature consider complex NMS models that are unsuitable for being used in a control paradigm since they suffer from long-lasting setup and optimization phases. In this work we present a minimal NMS model for predicting the elbow and shoulder torques and we compare two optimization

STC is considered to generally be a neuromuscular dysfunction of the colon. Scientific studies have shown diminished figures of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) (21) and alterations in the volume of myenteric plexus neurons expressing the excitatory neurotransmitter substance P (22) inside the gut wall of patients with this particular dysfunction. The current London classification of gastrointestinal neuromuscular diseases also lists hypoganglionosis, inflammatory neuropathy and degenerative leiomyopathy as other results in of STC (23).

Admit and carefully observe the patient.The experience of the observer is probably as or even more important than the environment. Use reproducible quantitative measures when possible, such as maximal negative inspiratory force (NIF), exhalation spirometry or other measures of respiratory muscle strength. Listen to phonation. Vocal cord paralysis may develop independent of diaphragm or chest wall weakness. Stop acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The role for these drugs, in my view, lies in the ambulatory treatment setting where they are employed to treat functional disabilities that compromise quality of life. They will increase the efficiency of neuromuscular transmission; however, they shift the curve only slightly, are short acting and do not provide a sufficient margin for error to be relied upon to prevent airway or respiratory failure in a myasthenic.

Sleep Therapy | Hutchinson Regional Healthcare SystemSleep Therapy | Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System
Home Ventilation has been employed for many years, but utilizing it for special cases of insufficient breathing via a CPAP-type mask is more recent. This treatment is more effective than conventional CPAP or BiPAP for patients that qualify with specific diagnoses like chronic respiratory failure, advancing neuromuscular disease and restrictive thoracic disease. Patients with these problems can be ventilated specific to their issues and diseases. Licensed respiratory therapists are required to set-up, assess and make recommendations regarding the care of home ventilation patients. Patients are visited frequently to ensure equipment is operating properly and that it is being used as prescribed. As with all pressure machines, a physicians order is required.
