متن کاملFuchs' Endothelial and Myotonic Dystrophies: Corneal Dystrophy in Myotonic Patients.
We read with great interest the article by Mootha et al. concerning a possible correlation between Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and myotonic dystrophy (MD). We thank the authors because, among the studies we made trying to understand the reason of low intraocular pressure in patients with MD, they cited one study we published in 2010 where we examined the endothelial cells charac...
متن کاملSleep complaints in patients with myotonic dystrophy.
The aim of this study was to document the clinical picture of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and of other sleep disturbances, and to study the relationship of daytime sleepiness to anthropometric data, muscular impairment, and CTG trinucleotide repeat expansion in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). A total of 157 DM1 patients were surveyed using a modified version of the Sleep Questionnaire a...
