fasciculation/obesity

Fasciculations are an important neurological sign of spinal muscular atrophies. 26 patients able to walk suffering from adult onset spinal muscular atrophies were examined by real time sonography. On an average 18 limb and extremity muscles on both sides were examined. In 21 cases fasciculations

In general, preoxygenation is performed using a face mask with oxygen in a supine position, and oxygenation is maintained with manual mask ventilation during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). However, hypoxic episodes during ECT are not uncommon with this conventional method, especially in morbidly

Necdin and Magel2 are related proteins inactivated in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a sporadic chromosomal deletion disorder. We demonstrate that necdin and Magel2 bind to and prevent proteasomal degradation of Fez1, a fasciculation and elongation protein implicated in axonal outgrowth and

Neuromuscular ultrasound (US) augments a careful physical examination and electrodiagnostic evaluation in the evaluation of suspected myopathy. Ultrasound evaluation of muscle can identify abnormal echo intensity, size, and movement. Because it is painless and noninvasive, US can be used to evaluate
