Cancer researchers add spice to research against rare neuromuscular disease
Scientists who focus on the molecular signaling that underlies prostate cancer have discovered a compound that shows promise against a debilitating neurodegenerative condition known as Kennedy's disease, which is caused by a mutant gene. Currently there is no treatment for the inherited disorder, which resembles a slowly progressive form of Lou Gehrig's disease and affects only men. The co...Influenza Vaccination for children with neurological or neuromuscular disease
A new research shows that in Children with neurological or neuromuscular diseases are at increased risk for developing respiratory failure ,if they're hospitalized with influenza.// The results, which are reported in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association, are based on a study of 745 children who were hospitalized for influenza at The Children's Hospital of Philad...'Muscle Noise' may Diagnose Neuromuscular Disease Sans Radiation Exposure
US researchers have discovered a non-invasive elastography technique that may help diagnose the neuromuscular disease without exposing patients to radiation. The technique found by California based Scripps Institute of Oceanography researchers works by measuring muscle noise to reveal a patients condition. Karim Sabra and colleagues at the institute placed 16 sensors,...UnoMax II Neuromuscular Stimulator with Smart Cards
Description:Programmes are supplied on Smart Cards. Insert the card and turn on the Intensity Dial. The treatment starts and turns itself off after the programmed time. The Smart Card records the number and total duration of treatments. Simply provide your patient with the appropriate card and you can check on their progress on the next visit.The initial set of programmes covers treatments for Urge, Stress,...Cochrane Reviews in Neuromuscular Disease
Description:Cochrane Reviews enable all those involved with healthcare decisions to keep up to date with the very latest evidence in their field of interest - a challenge which becomes harder each year as the volume of evidence increases. Cochrane Reviews solve this problem by delivering the best single source available for continually updated evidence-based medical information. Each review explores the evid...
