Complications of anaesthesia in neuromuscular disorders.
The purpose of this review is to alert non-anaesthesiologists to the various complications from which patients with neuromuscular disorders and those susceptible to malignant hyperthermia can suffer during anaesthesia. The patient's outcome correlates with the quality of consultation between anaesthesiologists, surgeons, neurologists and cardiologists. Special precautions must be taken, since m...
متن کاملNeuromuscular Disorders
Disorders of the neuromuscular unit can result in clinical presentations that range from subtle symptoms to acute respiratory failure with significant morbidity and mortality. In most cases, the pathophysiologic mechanism of these disorders is well understood and permits an organization and understanding based on the level of the nervous system affected. This facilitates an approach that interp...

متن کاملTetracyclines and Neuromuscular Disorders
Tetracyclines are a class of antibiotics which could act as neuroprotective molecules in several neurological disorders, such as Huntington disease, Parkinson disease, stroke and multiple sclerosis. The main biological effects of tetracyclines are the inhibition of microglial activation, the attenuation of apoptosis and the suppression of reactive oxygen species production. The anti-apoptotic e...
متن کاملRNA-mediated neuromuscular disorders.
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by a CTG expansion mutation located in the 3' untranslated portion of the dystrophica myotonin protein kinase gene. The identification and characterization of RNA-binding proteins that interact with expanded CUG repeats and the discovery that a similar transcribed but untranslated CCTG expansion in an intron causes myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) have u...
