The neuromuscular disorders could be briefly divided to neuropathy, myopathy, motor neuron disease, and neuromuscular junction disorder. In the past, the evaluation of the neuromuscular disorders depended on several ways (ex. electrodiagnostic studies and biopsy) to evaluate the pathophysiology and the pathological change. However, due to the issue of resolution, …
Human fibroblasts and possibly other human somatic cells may be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by the forced expression of transcription factors (1-5). The iPS cells seem to share many properties with human embryonic stem cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells potentially may be useful in the future as …
The goal of this study is to learn if Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomographs (MSOT) works to diagnose and follow the course of neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) in children. MSOT scans will be obtained from muscle region to measure hemo/myoglobin, collagen and lipid content/signal and oxygenation in patients with neuromuscular diseases. No additional …
Development and validation study of a prognostic score - study of prognostic performance by a prospective longitudinal multicenter cohort spread over 8 centers: 4 for the development cohort and 4 for the validation cohort).
Assessment of safety and efficacy of volume-targeted ventilation in patients with neuromuscular disease.
The main aim of the study is to validate the algorithms developed to analyze the signals from the various sensors contained in the magneto-inertial control units and reconstruct upper and lower limb movements under different normal and pathological conditions.
Hypothalamus has a key role in multiple vital functions, including regulation of sleep-wake cycles. Oxytocin (OT), a neurohormone synthetized in the hypothalamus, has a wide range of physiological functions, including a putative role in improving sleep quality. Hypothalamic and pituitary damage (HPD) is associated with a clinically relevant OT deficient …
Sleep is an important factor for overall health. This study will see how different light exposure patterns and food intake impact a person's metabolism (how the body breaks down food) when sleeping is reduced. Participants will attend 6 to 8 in-person visits to the study clinic, including three overnight stays. …
This database will describe sitting postural control in wheelchair, as well as PW pain, and pressure ulcers associated with sitting, in patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD).
Patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) can suffer from a range of respiratory problems due to respiratory muscle weakness. Cough muscle weakness means secretion clearance from the airways can be problematic, a source of infection, and importantly a cause of death, in this patient group. Therefore, these patients are often supported …
