Muscle ultrasonography in diagnostics of fasciculations: A lot has been done, but there is still more to do
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Clinical Ultrasound"
DOI: 10.1002/jcu.23102
Abstract: Fasciculations are involuntary twitches of small parts of the muscle with a duration of 0.2–1.0 s due to spontaneous contraction of muscle fascicles. These twitches originate from motor unit depolarizations. In terms of recording by… read more here.

GGC repeat expansions in NOTCH2NLC causing a phenotype of lower motor neuron syndrome
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Neurology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00415-022-11092-0
Abstract: A genetic diagnosis cannot be made in a considerable proportion of patients with hereditary lower motor neuron (LMN) syndromes. The GGC repeat expansion in the 5′untranslated region (5′UTR) of NOTCH2NLC gene has been reported to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neucli.2021.12.004
Abstract: OBJECTIVES The excitability of lower motor neurons can be explored non-invasively by several neurophysiological techniques, e.g., F-wave and H-reflex studies after a period of immobility and then after subsequent exercise. The aim of this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/brain/awac310
Abstract: Penfield’s motor homunculus anthropomorphizes the cerebral level of motor control, the upper motor neuron. However, it leaves the cranial and spinal motor neurons unrepresented. Here Ravits and Stack redress the imbalance by presenting a lower… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/neuros/nyz310_141
Abstract: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in loss of both white and grey matter in the spinal cord and adjacent to the site of impact. Loss of gray matter within the injured area leads to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000018615
Abstract: Abstract Chronic urinary retention (CUR) is defined as a non-painful bladder that remains palpable or percussible after the patient has passed urine. Acupuncture may decrease PVR and improve bladder function in patients with neurogenic CUR.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00529.2020
Abstract: Nerve transfers (neurotizations) performed under optimal conditions can restore some voluntary control in muscles of the upper extremities in patients with tetraplegia. However, the type of motoneuron lesions in target muscles for nerve transfers influences… read more here.
