2. 1. Neuromuscular disorders in childhood. Epidemiology and characterization of a new myopathy

   Author : Niklas Darin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuromuscular disorders; epidemiology; mitochondrial encephalomyopathy; hereditary inclusion-body myopathy; myosin heavy-chain IIa; childhood;

   Abstract : Neuromuscular disorders can be subdivided into anterior horn cell disorders, neuropathies, myasthenic disorders and myopathies. Some multisystem disorders, such as myotonic dystrophy and mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, are traditionally also included. READ MORE

4. 2. Effects of repetitive work on proprioception and of stretching on sensory mechanisms : implications for work-related neuromuscular disorders

   Author : Martin Björklund; Håkan Johansson; Albert Crenshaw; Ronny Lorentzon; Måns Magnusson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Repetitive motions; Muscle fatigue; Proprioception; Muscle stretching; Work-related musculoskeletal disorders; Nociception; Ergonomics; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; medicin; Medicine;

   Abstract : The aims of the thesis were (i) to investigate the impact of repetitive low-intensity work exposure on proprioception and (ii) to examine effects of muscle stretching (especially sensory effects and effects on muscle nociception) and to relate its application to the prevention, alleviation and/or treatment of work-related neuromuscular disorders. The effects of low-intensity repetitive work on the shoulder proprioception were tested in healthy subjects. READ MORE

5. 3. Studies on ventilatory function in chronic neuromuscular disorders

   Author : Jan Weinberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ventilatory dysfunction; neuromuscular disorders; diaphragm; electromyogram; power spectrum; blood gas; ventilatory mechanics; sleep; polysomnography;

   Abstract : Ventilatory dysfunction is common in neuromuscular disorders (NMD). The present studies aimed at evaluating and developing methods for diagnosis of ventilatory function in NMD. Methods included were diaphragmatic EMG (EMGdi), blood gas monitoring assessed at rest and during exercise and nocturnal respiratory and sleep parameters. READ MORE

6. 4. Towards Better Understanding of Etiological Mechanisms at the Neuromuscular Junction

   Author : Evgenii Bogatikov; Anna Rostedt Punga; Klas Kullander; Viktorija Kenina; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuromuscular junction; Muscle cells; Microelectrode array; MicroRNA; Clinical Neurophysiology; Klinisk neurofysiologi; Biomedical Laboratory Science; Biomedicinsk laboratorievetenskap;

   Abstract : The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) serves as a model for understanding the mechanisms that determine communication between neurons and their target cells. Disorders of the NMJ can be either autoimmune or genetic (hereditary). READ MORE

7. 5. Myosin myopathy. A new disease entity

   Author : Homa Tajsharghi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Neuromuscular disorders; Myosin myopathy; Myosin heavy chain; Myosin storage myopathy;

   Abstract : By the discovery and characterization of two familial myopathies caused by mutations in myosin heavy chaingenes, we introduce a new entity within the field of neuromuscular disorders: Myosin myopathyThe first myopathy affected a family in western Sweden. Previous linkage analysis had located the gene tochromosome 17p13. READ MORE
