1. Análise observacional de aquisições motoras em crianças portadoras de Amiotrofia Espinal Tipo I submetidas à intervenção medicamentosa com ácido valpróico / Observatory analyse of motor gain in type I spinal amyotrophy children with valproic acid use
The spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) is the most frequent neuromuscular disease responsible for Hypotonic Children Syndrome (HCS). SMA is caused by anterior horn cells degeneration in the narrow. The neurological impairment is quickly and strongly established in the first months of life, so, after few months, the only movement that the children can do is moving t

2. Electromyographic Studies in Parents of Children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Electromyographic studies have been carried out on the quadriceps and deltoid muscles of a number of healthy parents of children with infantile spinal muscular atrophy (types I and II) and the results compared with those obtained in healthy controls of the same sex. The results indicated an increase in mean amplitude of action potentials in quadriceps and de

3. Neurogenic muscle involvement in myasthenia gravis: A clinical and histopathological study
An investigation was made into the occurrence of muscular atrophy and muscular pathology in a series of 170 patients with myasthenia gravis. The results can be summarized as follows: (1) Of the 148 patients with generalized myasthenia gravis, 14 showed local muscular atrophies. Of 10 biopsies from atrophic muscles, eight showed neurogenic changes, with or wi

4. Possible neurogenic factor in muscular dystrophy: its similarity to denervation atrophy1
Muscle biopsy specimens from 179 cases of muscular dystrophies and from 140 cases of anterior horn cell disorders (from a total of 1,348 biopsied patients) were examined histologically. There were 72 cases of Duchenne type muscular dystrophy (DMD), five of Becker type MD, four girls with myopathy resembling DMD, 40 with limb-girdle, 10 with facioscapulohumer
