The term spinal muscular atrophy embraces a heterogeneous group of hereditary neuromuscular disorders caused by the loss of the lower motoneurones, leading to progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. The most common of these disorders is infantile and juvenile proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which has an incidence of 1/10,000 newborns and a carrier frequency of 1/50 individuals (1,2). S...

Many authors have suggested the existence of a functional dependence between the cervical muscle and mastication muscles. In the sequence of this functional dependence postural, changes, specially in the head and neck, can influence certain neuronal-muscular patterns leading to the development temporomandibular disorders. The existing of hyperactivity of the mastication muscle in bruxism patien...

Suryanamaskar (SN), a yogic technique is composed of dynamic muscular movements synchronised with deep rhythmic breathing. As it may have influence on CNS, this study planned to investigate immediate effects of SN on reaction time (RT) and heart rate (HR). 21 female volunteers attending yoga classes were recruited for study group and 19 female volunteers not participating in yoga were recruited...

this study determines the value of linkage analysis using six rflp markers for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis in familial dmd/bmd cases and their family members for the first time in the iranian population. we studied the dystrophin gene in 33 unrelated patients with clinical diagnosis of dmd or bmd. subsequently, we determined the rate of heterozygosity for six intragenic rflp marker...
