The electrical properties of muscle fiber membranes in dystrophia myotonica and myotonia congenita.
The disorder of skeletal muscle known as myotonia has repeatedly attracted the interest of clinical neurophysiologists. The condition is characterized by a prolonged contraction ofmuscle fibres following voluntary exertion; alternatively it may be induced by direct or indirect electrical stimulation of muscle or by mechanical percussion of the muscle belly. The condition may be an accompanying ...
متن کاملRespiration in Dystrophia Myotonica.
The interesting paper by Dr J E Clague et al (March 1994;49:240-4) contains some results and conclusions which are at variance with earlier studies. Firstly, their results showed that the vent-ilatory response to carbon dioxide in these patients was lower than in the controls, but the difference was not significant. Several earlier studies showed clear evidence of a reduction in the slope of th...
متن کاملCarbohydrate metabolism in dystrophia myotonica.
Serum insulin, blood sugar, and growth hormone levels were measured in response to a 50g oral glucose tolerance test in 10 patients with proven dystrophia myotonica. Three patients belonged to one family; seven patients had no known family history of the disease. One patient, a chronic invalid aged 56 years, produced a mild diabetic glucose tolerance curve and a delayed prolonged rise in serum ...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin levels in dystrophia myotonica.
Levels of immunoglobulins IgG, IgA, and IgM were measured in 38 patients with myotonic dystrophy, in normal members of their families, and in matched controls. Log IgG was significantly reduced in the patients. IgG investigation provides a further parameter to appraise the status of apparently unaffected members of myotonic dystrophy families.
متن کاملFocal myocarditis in familial dystrophia myotonica.
A mother and her two sons with dystrophia myotonica are reported. All three patients had electrocardiographic abnormalities. The mother and one of the sons died. Necropsy revealedfocal myocarditis. It is suggested that myocarditis is a manifestation of the natural history of 'dystrophia myotonica cordis', and that focal myocarditis generally may be a sign of metabolic or degenerative processes ...
