متن کاملDiaphragm: Pathophysiology and Ultrasound Imaging in Neuromuscular Disorders
Respiratory muscles are classically involved in neuromuscular disorders, leading to a restrictive respiratory pattern. The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle involved during inspiration. Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive, radiation-free, accurate and safe technique allowing assessment of diaphragm anatomy and function. The authors review the pathophysiology of diaphragm in neuromuscular...
متن کاملBreathing Pattern and Central Ventilatory Drive in Late-Onset Pompe Disease.
Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) defi ciency that results in intralysosomal glycogen accumulation affecting skeletal muscles with more specifi c impairment of proximal limb, trunk, and respiratory muscles. Pulmonary symptoms may represent one of the initial manifestations of late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) in patients, even those sti...
