An unusual cause of ventilatory failure in motor neurone disease
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Respiratory Medicine Case Reports"
DOI: 10.1016/j.rmcr.2017.03.013
Abstract: A patient previously diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) and gastrostomy-fed was under surveillance for ventilatory decline via our respiratory centre. At a planned review she was found to be hypercapnic, which would usually prompt… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09638288.2019.1630487
Abstract: Abstract Introduction Motor Neurone Disease is a rapidly progressing, fatal and relatively rare neurodegenerative disease of unknown etiology. People diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease develop a range of symptoms including dysphagia (swallowing impairments). Although generally… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/practneurol-2021-002989
Abstract: A minority (10%–15%) of cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of motor neurone disease (MND), are currently attributable to pathological variants in a single identifiable gene. With the emergence of new… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/thorax-2018-212555.130
Abstract: Introduction Most people with motor neurone disease (MND) die from ventilatory failure due to respiratory muscle weakness. Once PaCO2 is greater than 6 kPa, survival is measured in weeks but repeated blood gas estimates (ABG’s) can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0269216319845805
Abstract: Background: Motor neurone disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease without cure. Little is known about how young people are affected when a family member has the illness and subsequently dies, resulting in a gap in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0269216320908775
Abstract: Background: Despite being a terminal neurodegenerative disease, the role of palliative care is less recognised for motor neurone disease than for other life-limiting conditions. Understanding the experiences of, and need for, palliative care for patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/13993003.congress-2018.pa2384
Abstract: Introduction : Motor Neurone Disease (MND) results in respiratory muscle weakness and respiratory failure (RF) with major consequences on quality of life and survival, both of which can be improved with Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV)[1,2]. Aim:… read more here.
