Idiopathic primary BSS is a late-onset myopathy with progressive muscular weakness that is detected on the spinal extensor muscles in elderly patients and is more predominant in females. [2] The pathogenesis of primary BSS is typically related to fibrosis and fatty infiltration of muscular tissues and to mitochondrial changes due to the aging ...
Sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy, or SLONM, is a very rare disease, one of the nemaline myopathies, causing loss of muscle bulk and weakness in the legs but sparing the cranial nerves, and beginning its clinical course after age 40. [1]
The phenotypic presentation has 3 forms: a neonatal-onset form with congenital anomalies (type I), a neonatal-onset form without congenital anomalies (type II), and a late-onset form (type III). [3] Individuals with glutaric acidemia type 2 frequently experience exercise-induced muscle fatigue, hypotonia, myalgia, and proximal muscle weakness. [4]
Patients may become unable to perform activities of daily living and most require assistive devices within 5 to 10 years of symptom onset. [11] sIBM does not significantly affect life expectancy, [1] although death related to malnutrition and respiratory failure can occur. [12] The risk of serious injury due to falls is increased. [1]
Patients with acquired non-inflammatory myopathy typically experience weakness, cramping, stiffness, and tetany, most commonly in skeletal muscle surrounding the limbs and upper shoulder girdle. [1] The most commonly reported symptoms are: Muscle fatigue [1] Pain [1] Muscle spasms and cramps; Tingling; Numbness; Tetany [1] Loss of coordination ...
Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle weakness of the limbs. It is also known as myasthenic syndrome, Eaton–Lambert syndrome, and when related to cancer, carcinomatous myopathy.
Currently there is no cure for the disease and symptomatic treatment is used to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. [7] Bethlem myopathy may be diagnosed based on clinical examinations and laboratory tests may be recommended. Genetic testing for known pathological variants is preferred. In the case of a VUS, testing of dermal ...
From a total 5,898 patients who received these drugs, 52 developed new onset MG and 11 had a flare of their preexisting MG. The symptoms of MG developed within 6 days to 16 weeks (median time 4 weeks). Their medicine-induced MG symptoms were often severe with 29 patients developing respiratory failure that required mechanical ventilation. [26]
