Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) are caused by the overuse of muscles in the workplace. Performing repetitive tasks is a primary risk factor for the development of WMSD. Many workers in highly repetitive jobs exhibit muscle pain and decline in handgrip strength, yet the mechanisms

According to recent publications, some patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (BSMA) develop cardiac disease, manifesting as ST-segment abnormalities, Brugada-syndrome, dilative cardiomyopathy, or sudden cardiac death. Here we present neurological and cardiac data of a BSMA

Muscle fiber degeneration and regeneration, inflammation in the intramuscular connective tissue and hypoxia in resting muscle are not necessarily associated with pain. However, when sustained or dynamic muscle contractions are performed in an ischaemic muscle, severe pain develops. In the chronic

Five magnetic resonance (MR) studies of the lower leg were performed in three patients with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS). The 1H spectroscopic and imaging findings were compared with seven examinations of age-matched healthy controls. Standard imaging with proton density-, T1-, and
Two patients with persistent myalgia characterised by onset after an ill-defined systemic illness, marked fluctuations in the severity of the symptoms, and normal neuromuscular examination with the exception of variable muscle tenderness on deep palpation, may have a forme fruste of myalgic
The aim of this study was to verify how a pair of monozygotic twins would respond to light-emitting diode therapy (LEDT) or placebo combined with a strength-training program during 12 weeks.
This case-control study enrolled a pair of male monozygotic twins, allocated randomly to LEDT or placebo
Early in the course of studies of the Spanish toxic oil syndrome it was recognized that vascular lesions were a major problem, most logically attributable to endothelial damage by the toxic oil. However, most clinical attention has been directed to the pulmonary complications and the evolution into
Pathologic findings in eight patients with the eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome, secondary to L-tryptophan ingestion, are reported. Tissue was obtained by biopsy alone in six patients, by biopsy and autopsy in the seventh patient, and by autopsy alone in the eighth patient. Muscle biopsies in five
We reported a case of Becker type congenital myotonia with myalgia. A 28 year-old woman admitted to our hospital because of right anterior chest pain and back pain. She was diagnosed as myotonic dystrophy by other university hospital when she was 16 years old. Physical examination revealed only
To date, the medium and long-term space flight is urgent in need and has become a major task of our manned space flight program. There is no doubt that medium and long-term space flight has serious damaging impact upon human physiological systems. For instance, atrophy of the lower limb anti-gravity
Exertional muscle pain, contractures, recurrent rhabdomyolysis, and pigmenturia are common in certain muscle glycolytic disorders. However, the frequency, distribution, and long-term significance of these findings are poorly understood. First we performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the
Seventeen relatively young patients, ages 31-65 years (average, 45) with prior poliomyelitis, who after a number of years of stability had experienced new neuromuscular symptoms, were studied. Seven patients had deterioration of functional capacity and then stabilization without new muscular
Four Japanese cases of postpolio progressive muscular atrophy (PPMA) of late onset were clinically studied to characterize their clinical features and discussed upon the epidemiologic viewpoint. Four male patients were included with mean age of 43.5 (30-59) years on examination, diagnosed as PPMA
