Progressive Muscular Atrophy

a crack-like ulceration at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane in the two sides of the nose alternately?recurrent attacks of these two complainta during JDecember-January last in a case of progressive muscular atrophy was treated and cured with Bi, plunocaine and sulfanilamide mixed with honey. Was it correct to think that these troubles were of a trophic origin ? As to the P.M.A. the ...

Clinical studies on progressive retinal atrophy in 31 dogs

During a 2-year period, 31 cases of a hereditary retinal degeneration in dogs bred in India were found mainly suspected for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) with typical history of initial nyctalopia followed by hemeralopia. Out of 31 PRA suspected dogs, 8 dogs (26%) were from the age group of 1-5 years, 15 (48%) 6-10 years and the rest (26%) 11-15 years. The most predominant breed was Spitz (...

Electromyographic analysis in spinal progressive muscular atrophy, juvenile unilateral muscular atrophy, neural progressive muscular atrophy and myeloradiculoneuritis.

Recently, as diagnostic aids of neurological science, not only electromyography but also other techniques such as motor nerve conduction velocity, evoked potentials and strength-duration curve have been performed. In this paper, the first, the standard value of conduction velocities and the critical value of reduced conduction velocities in pathologic condition were discussed, because the probl...

The diagnostic dilemma of progressive muscular atrophy.

Progressive muscle atrophy is a rare subtype of motor neuron disease that affects only the lower motor neurons and presents as asymmetrical rapidly progressive muscle weakness, atrophy and normal sensations. The diagnostic electrophysiological findings are denervation potentials in three out of four body segments (bulbar, cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral). The disease is fatal and the managem...
