OBJECTIVE
To investigate the pathogenesis of proximal diabetic neuropathy (PDN) with nerve and muscle biopsies.
BACKGROUND
Recent evidence suggests that nerve ischemia secondary to immune-mediated vasculopathy rather than diabetic microangiopathy may be responsible for PDN.
METHODS
- Fifteen
An unusual patient with hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and right ventricular failure is presented. Minimal skeletal muscle weakness, although present, cannot explain hypercapnia. Muscle biopsy revealed diabetic microangiopathy. Carbon dioxide stimulation demonstrated a diminished hypercapnic ventilatory
Sarcopenia as a progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder that is associated with an increased likelihood of adverse outcomes, including falls, fractures, physical disability, and mortality. On the other hand, an age-related decline in muscle strength prior to the reduction of muscle
