Respiratory muscle weakness in Addison's disease.
Comment Evidence of thyroid autoimmunity has often been noted in patients who develop hypothyroidism while receiving amiodarone.2 Between 30% and 50% of patients who have hypothyroidism induced by amiodarone iodine have antithyroid antibodies.' 2 Antithyroid antibodies are less common in patients who have hyperthyroidism induced by amiodarone iodine. Monteiro et al reported the development of a...
متن کاملHow Respiratory Muscle Strength Correlates with Cough Capacity in Patients with Respiratory Muscle Weakness
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate how respiratory muscle strength correlates to cough capacity in patients with respiratory muscle weakness. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), 43 with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), and 42 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) were recruited. Pulmonary function tests including forced vital...
متن کاملRespiratory muscle weakness in the Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.
Respiratory muscle function was assessed in six patients with the Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome. Five had histologically proved small cell carcinoma of the lung; the sixth later developed metastases from an unknown primary site. Two patients had ventilatory failure, one without respiratory symptoms; another, who had emphysema, had dyspnoea and orthopnoea. The remaining three patients had no...
متن کاملHypophosphatemia-associated respiratory muscle weakness in a general inpatient population.
Although hypophosphatemia has been implicated as a cause of respiratory failure, its impact on respiratory muscle function in patients hospitalized for other reasons remains to be determined. Maximal inspiratory pressures (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressures (MEP) were measured at the bedside in 23 hospitalized patients with serum phosphate levels less than 2.5 mg/dl, and these measurements w...
متن کاملSevere respiratory muscle weakness related to long-term colchicine therapy.
We report a case of colchicine-induced myopathy, in which the initial presenting and predominant clinical feature was respiratory muscle dysfunction; there was also chronic renal failure and electromyographically-measured myopathy. Discontinuation of colchicine led to marked improvement. Colchicine discontinuation was the only therapy performed (other medications were unchanged), and within 3 w...
