William J. Groh,Miriam R. Groh,Chandan Saha,John C. Kincaid,Zachary Simmons,Emma Ciafaloni,Rahman Pourmand,Richard F. Otten,Deepak Bhakta,Girish V. Nair,Mohammad M. Marashdeh,Douglas P. Zipes,Robert M. Pascuzzi +12 more
TL;DR: Patients with adult myotonic dystrophy type 1 are at high risk for arrhythmias and sudden death, and a severe abnormality on the ECG and a diagnosis of an atrial tachyarrhythmia predict sudden death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality of life in ALS depends on factors other than strength and physical function
TL;DR: QOL, as assessed by the patient with ALS, does not correlate with measures of strength and physical function, but appears to depend on psychological and existential factors, and thus may be measured well by the MQOL scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erratum: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Nature reviews. Disease primers (2017) 3 (17071))
Orla Hardiman,Ammar Al-Chalabi,Adriano Chiò,Emma M. Corr,Giancarlo Logroscino,Wim Robberecht,Pamela J. Shaw,Zachary Simmons,Leonard H. van den Berg +8 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Hormonal predictors of sexual motivation in natural menstrual cycles
James R. Roney,Zachary Simmons +1 more
TL;DR: This study is among the first to identify hormonal predictors of within-cycle fluctuations in sexual motivation, and thus adds novel evidence regarding the endocrine correlates of human sexuality.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A higher prevalence of underlying metabolic muscle diseases than expected in the general population is reported and the effect of statins on energy metabolism combined with a genetic susceptibility to triggering of muscle symptoms may account for myopathic outcomes in certain high‐risk groups.
