YOCARDIAL as well as skeletal muscle lvi involvement occurs in a high proportion of cases of human progressive muscular dystrophy. This cardiac involvement constitutes a specific cardiomyopathy. Clinical evidence of myocardial involvement by the dystrophic process includes labile tachycardia in over 50 per cent of cases, congestive heart failure, various arrhythmias, cardiac murmurs, and cardio...

A case of progressive muscular dystrophy with cardiac involvement in a young Negro man is reported. The presenting problem was cardiomegaly and congestive heart failure. It was not until compensation was achieved that the underlying myopathy became apparent. Death was unexpected and presumably sudden. An unusual finding at the postmortem examination was the marked thickening of the endocardium....

(3) The talipes position of the feet, (clawfoot). (4) The position of the back. (Myopathic lordosis). G. M., age 23. Unmarried. Kalat State. Family History.?Father alive, healthy.

In the present paper, the author desires to report a somewhat atyp­ ical form of progressive muscular dystrophy, rather resembling Erb's infantile type, of extremely benign and �low progress. In the cases examined it has occurred as a hereditary affection now in the fourth generation. The number of individuals disabled thus far has been fourteen. Of the seven living members with the disease, al...

This study aims to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on fatigue in cancer patients. The method used is a systematic review. results showed that 7 articles reviewed, 6 PMR could reduce or patients and 1 article no significant difference applying fatigue. In conclusion, can experienced by

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both diffusion tensor imaging and the apparent transverse relaxation rate have shown promise in differentiating Parkinson disease from atypical parkinsonism (particularly multiple system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy). The objective of the study was to assess the ability of DTI, the apparent transverse relaxation rate, and their combination for differentiatin...

Human and animal models using electromyography (EMG) based methods have hypothesized that viscoelastic tissue properties becomes compromised by prolonged repetitive cyclic trunk flexion-extension which in turn influences muscular activation including the flexion-relaxation phenomenon. Empirical evidence to support this hypothesis, especially the development of viscoelastic tension-relaxation an...

A study of relaxation was made in 275 patients undergoing cardiac surgery (mainly mitral valvotomy) under light narcosis with controlled ventilation. Suxamethonium was used for intubation and was followed by tubocurarine or gallamine for the operation. On the basis of data obtained from stimulation of the motor nerves to muscles, electromyography, and the clinical picture, it is suggested that ...
