myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue, typically worsening with activity and improving with rest. It is caused by an autoimmune response that targets acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction, leading to impaired communication between nerves and muscles. Treatment often involves medications that help improve nerve impulse transmission and reduce symptoms.
Botulism is a neuromuscular disorder caused by a bacterial toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. This toxin can affect the nervous system and cause muscle weakness or paralysis.
There are several causes of a limp. Often it is caused by pain, weakness, neuromuscular imbalance or a skeletal deformity. However, the most common cause of a limp is physical trauma.
muscular dystrophy
Muscular dystrophies are a group of genetic muscle disorders that cause progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles without affecting the nervous system. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an example of a muscular dystrophy that fits this description.
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder involving the muscles and the nerves that control them.
a neuromuscular disorder that occurs due to overproduction of thyroid hormone and is characterized by excessive fatigability, muscle wasting and weakness. It mainly affects muscles of the shoulder, hips and hands.
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition that affects the communication between nerves and muscles, leading to muscle weakness and fatigue. It is a chronic progressive disease where symptoms may worsen over time. Treatment typically involves medications to improve neuromuscular transmission and manage symptoms.
a cats weakness is ventroflexion of the neck is a common presentation in cats with neuromuscular causes of acute weakness.
A chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction is myasthenia gravis. It leads to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigue.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the disorder characterized by a lack of protein dystrophin. This genetic disorder affects muscle function and leads to progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. It primarily affects boys and can result in mobility issues and other complications.
Poliomyelitis - viral infection of the nerves that control skeletal muscle movement Muscular Dystrophies - (most commonly a mutation of dystrophin) muscle function is impaired, causing weakness Myasthenia Gravis - autoimmune disease affecting the neuromuscular junction.
