Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) as defined by the European Neuromuscular Centre in 2018. [1] [2] They are named by the following system: LGMD, recessive or dominant inheritance (R or D), order of discovery (number), affected protein. [1] LGMD D1 DNAJB6-related; LGMD D2 TNP03-related; LGMD D3 HNRNPDL-related; LGMD D4 calpain3-related
A neuromuscular disease is any disease affecting the peripheral nervous system (PNS), [a] the neuromuscular junctions, or skeletal muscles, all of which are components of the motor unit. [4] Damage to any of these structures can cause muscle atrophy and weakness. Issues with sensation can also occur. Neuromuscular diseases can be acquired or ...
Symptoms of this muscle toxicity include combinations of cramping, weakness, aching or tenderness; and are often experienced in the quadriceps, pectoral, biceps, low back, or abdominal region. Symptoms tend to worsen with muscle exercise, and often continue after a patient is removed from statin therapy. [ 1 ]
Four motor symptoms are considered cardinal signs in PD: slowness of movement (bradykinesia), tremor, rigidity, and postural instability. [1] Typical for PD is an initial asymmetric distribution of these symptoms, where in the course of the disease, a gradual progression to bilateral symptoms develops, although some asymmetry usually persists.
Neuromuscular junction diseases in this category include snake venom poisoning, botulism, arthropod poisoning, organophosphates and hypermagnesemia.(reference 13) Organophosphates are present in many insecticides and herbicides. They are also the basis of many nerve gases.(reference 27) Hypermagnesmia is a condition where the balance of ...
4.1%-12.4% (12-month prevalence, US adults) [1] Neuropathic pain is pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Neuropathic pain may be associated with abnormal sensations called dysesthesia or pain from normally non-painful stimuli ( allodynia ).
Congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder caused by defects of several types at the neuromuscular junction. The effects of the disease are similar to Lambert-Eaton Syndrome and myasthenia gravis, the difference being that CMS is not an autoimmune disorder. There are only 600 known family cases of this disorder ...
Visual symptoms including loss of vision or double vision; Speech symptoms including dysphonia (whispering speech), slurred or stuttering speech; Sensory disturbance including hemisensory syndrome (altered sensation down one side of the body) Numbness or inability to sense touch; Dizziness and balance problems; Pain (including chronic migraines)
