Overview of paediatric neuromuscular disorders and related pulmonary issues: diagnostic and therapeutic considerations

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews
M L Yang, Richard Finkel

Abstract

Pulmonary compromise is common in neuromuscular disease. Respiratory failure may be a presenting feature of neuromuscular disease and remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. This article will review the current understanding of the more commonly encountered neuromuscular disorders in childhood and emphasize related pulmonary issues.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.

Aminoglycosides (ASM)

Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside. Discover the latest research on aminoglycoside here.
