TL;DR: Abnormal iron deposition associated with the degenerative process could be the source of T2 shortening, which is a useful MR imaging finding in the diagnosis of ALS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased sympathetic outflow to muscles in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a comparison with other neuromuscular patients.
TL;DR: MSNA at rest was increased in ALS patients, regardless of the severity of muscle loss or disability, and it might be suggested that autonomic motor neurons seem to become affected by the same pathologic process that kills motor neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep apnoea in well-controlled myasthenia gravis and the effect of thymectomy
TL;DR: It is suggested that SA is a possible clinical manifestiation of MG and that nocturnal dysfunction of both peripheral and central colinergic systems may be involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microneurographic analysis of muscle sympathetic nerve activity in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
TL;DR: The increase in muscle sympathetic nerve activity following tilt in the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients was less than in the controls, but they had no postural hypotension.
