Two Cases of Neurotic Progressive Muscular Atrophy Caused by Cycloserin for Silicotuberculosis-Treatment

Mimic syndromes in sporadic cases of progressive spinal muscular atrophy.

Described are patients initially diagnosed with progressive spinal muscular atrophy (PSMA), in whom further evaluation established another diagnosis. The authors prospectively investigated incident and prevalent cases of PSMA. Seventeen of 89 patients, after initial registration, were later excluded because reassessment revealed a diagnosis other than PSMA. In 11 of the 17 patients with a revis...

a crack-like ulceration at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane in the two sides of the nose alternately?recurrent attacks of these two complainta during JDecember-January last in a case of progressive muscular atrophy was treated and cured with Bi, plunocaine and sulfanilamide mixed with honey. Was it correct to think that these troubles were of a trophic origin ? As to the P.M.A. the ...

Progressive Muscular Atrophy

Electromyographic analysis in spinal progressive muscular atrophy, juvenile unilateral muscular atrophy, neural progressive muscular atrophy and myeloradiculoneuritis.

Recently, as diagnostic aids of neurological science, not only electromyography but also other techniques such as motor nerve conduction velocity, evoked potentials and strength-duration curve have been performed. In this paper, the first, the standard value of conduction velocities and the critical value of reduced conduction velocities in pathologic condition were discussed, because the probl...

The diagnostic dilemma of progressive muscular atrophy.

Progressive muscle atrophy is a rare subtype of motor neuron disease that affects only the lower motor neurons and presents as asymmetrical rapidly progressive muscle weakness, atrophy and normal sensations. The diagnostic electrophysiological findings are denervation potentials in three out of four body segments (bulbar, cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral). The disease is fatal and the managem...
