We describe acute myopathy following I-131 treatment for hyperthyroidism due to Graves Disease (GD) in an adolescent. A 15 year-old diagnosed with GD required treatment with radioactive iodine (I-131) therapy. Six weeks post I-131, he developed generalized muscle cramps. The CK was 19.800 U/L, the total thyroxine was 2.3 mcg/dL (29.6 nmol/L SI) and the estimated free thyroxine (EFT) was 0.5 ng/...

  Muscle tissue, skeletal muscle as well as cardiac muscle, is commonly affected in mitochondrial disorders. One explanation for this observation is that muscle tissue has a high-energy demand and therefore is more sensitive to a deficiency of mitochondrial energy production than some other tissues. In mitochondrial disorders, skeletal muscle tissue may be affected primarily by defective respi...

Chronic kidney disease is one of the major non-infectious diseases. Patient with chronic mainly requires hemodialysis. Hemodialysis may cause various complications, so hemodialysis patient appropriate care. Aim study: Assess effectiveness Intradialytic aerobic exercises on muscle cramps among patients Undergoing Hemodialysis. Material and method: The research design adopted for study was quasi-...

Hypothrodism is one of the most prevalent endocrine disorders. Different neuromusclualr complications can develop with hypothyrodism. Nonspecific neuromuscular complaints like myelgia, muscle cramps and mild elevation of Creatine Kinase (CK) are the most common myopathic features related to hypothyroidism. Other myopathic features included proximal muscle weakness and myoedema. Rarely hypothyro...

OBJECTIVES Skeletal muscles usually cramp at short lengths, where the tension that can be exerted by muscle fibers is low. Since high tension is an important anabolic stimulus, it is questionable if cramps can induce hypertrophy and strength gains. In the present study we investigated if electrically induced cramps (EIMCs) can elicit these adaptations. METHODS 15 healthy male adults were rand...
