[citation needed] Patients with the chronic, congenital form of SMA syndrome predominantly have a lengthy or even lifelong history of abdominal complaints with intermittent exacerbations depending on the degree of duodenal compression.
Spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs) are a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare debilitating disorders characterised by the degeneration of lower motor neurons (neuronal cells situated in the anterior horn of the spinal cord) and subsequent atrophy (wasting) of various muscle groups in the body.

The remaining training can be continued in the chosen specialty for further 2–3 years. After full 4–5 years of training and completing few compulsory requirements (such as rotations at the other relevant departments for certain durations, thesis, and case studies), the candidate is eligible to start attempting the final exam called FCPS-II.
The qualification was known by some other names in some of the states/universities, such as Licentiate of Medical Faculty (LMF). [3] The L.M.S. was also previously conferred in other former British colonies such as Ceylon, Malaysia and Singapore.
