State of the art in muscle glycogenoses

The recognition of a series of metabolic/enzymatic dysfunctions in glycogenoses has allowed new therapeutic advances for their treatment due to the development of recombinant enzyme. A recent advance appears enzymatic replacement therapy (ERT) in glycogenosis type II in both infantile, juvenile and adult form. Targeted manipulation of diet has been tried both in glycogenosis type II (Pompe dise...

[Acute renal failure due to non traumatic rhabdomyolysis. 11 cases (author's transl)].

Previous nuclear disease was found twice: Mc Ardle disease, dermatomyositis. Causative factors were: strenous exercise, hyperthermia, intoxication, influenza. Myalgias and/or myoedema was recorded in ten cases, associated with an hypovolemia of variable severity in eight. Oligo-anuria was observed in eight cases. The acute renal failure (ARF) was characterized by an increase in the serum creati...

Evaluation of the effect of exercise on serum creatinine and urea nitrogen in hemodialysis patients

Introduction. Chronic renal failure is a progressive disease in which kidney function is impaired, so that the body can not metabolize and maintain fluid balance and electrolytes. Therefore, the present study investigated changes in serum creatinine and urea nitrogen in hemodialysis patients in response to exercise. Materials and Methods. The subjects of this study were dialysis patients who we...
