Which group of genetic muscle disorders cause progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles without affecting the nervous system?
muscular dystrophy
A weakness or slight muscluar paralysis is?
Myoparesis is a weakness or slight muscular paralysis.
What does Guillain-Barre syndrome do?
The disease affects the myelin sheath, which coats nerve cells. It causes progressive muscle weakness and paralysis
What organelle does Pompe disease affect in a cell?
It is the only glycogen storage disease with a defect in lysosomal metabolism, and the first glycogen storage disease to be identified, in 1932 by the Dutch pathologist J.C.Pompe.The build-up of glycogen causes progressive muscle weakness throughout the body.
How do you differentiate between benign fasciculation syndrome and ALS?
In BFS, the fasciculations only occur when the muscles are at rest. In ALS, they are consistent. Even when you walk, you will have the fasciculations. And ALS is characterized by severe muscle weakness. A fasciculation is a small twitch in your muscles, like your muscle going up and down in like a heart beat. In ALS you would have weakness or atrophy/weakness.In BFS you would not.Fascis in both can look,feel and last exactly the same.FASCICS MEAN NOTHING if you have no severe,and i mean no other severe symptoms.So to answer your question you cannot tell by looking at them.
