Background: Neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM), or CD56, is a cell-surface glycoprotein that plays critical role in mediating intercellular the central nervous system. It also found to be expressed on embryonic muscle but disappears healthy adult muscle. However, denervated regenerating muscles can express N-CAM. Objective: To evaluate value of N-CAM expressions diagnosing diseases Thai popu...

The combination of low sernmii content and low specific activity tracer material has presented a difficult technical barrier to the study of the plasma disappearance of tracer amounts of vitamin BI,2 Three groups (1-3) have studied the rate of plasma disappearance of intravenous (loses ranging fromi 0.5 to 4.0 jg. These (loses were not and could not be considere(l to be of tracer mlagnitu(le si...

the use of manometry, i.e. the recording of pressures within hollow viscera, after being successfully applied to the study of esophageal and anorectal motor dysfunctions, has also been used to investigate physiological and pathological conditions of the small bowel. by means of this technique, it has been possible to understand better the normal motor functions of the small intestine, and their...

BACKGROUND Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles/hereditary inclusion body myopathy is clinically characterized by the early involvement of distal leg muscles. The striking pathological features of the myopathy are muscle fibers with rimmed vacuoles. To date, the role of aquaporin-4 water channel in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles/hereditary inclusion body myopathy has not been studied. C...

Bckground: Myositis has been reported to be associated or triggered by viruses. Genetic and environmental factors are documented risk for myopathies. Viruses have also shown modify the clinical course of auto-immune diseases.We therefore report a case SARS-Cov-2 infection in 26-year-old female black Zambian patient with proximal myopathy.
 Case Presentation: We present 26-yearold chemical ...

BACKGROUND Interpretation of pediatric electromyography interpretation in myopathic disorders is technically challenging. We assessed our electromyographic experience with respect to sensitivity and specificity in pediatric myopathy. METHODS We did a retrospective chart review of patients ≤18 years between 2009 and 2013. Two hundred twenty-four electromyographic studies were reviewed with the...
