Progressive Muscular Atrophy Associated with Paralysis Agitans

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 ...

Progressive Muscular Atrophy

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...

Diaphragmatic paralysis due to spinal muscular atrophy.

Hereditary distal spinal muscular atrophy with vocal cord paralysis.

A large kindred is described in which an unusual form of spinal muscular atrophy is segregating in an autosomal dominant manner. The disease presents most commonly in the teens with small muscle wasting in the hands, particularly involving median nerve musculature. Subsequently distal muscle wasting and weakness occur in the lower limbs. Vocal cord paralysis is a characteristic and potentially ...
