متن کاملRespiratory muscle weakness in the Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.

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...
