Exploring different types of myopathies and muscular dystrophies, inflammatory conditions affecting muscles, management strategies for myasthenia gravis and neuromuscular disorders, rare neuropathies and genetic mutations, peripheral nerve inflammatory conditions, motor neuron diseases, and the importance of neuroanatomy in neuromuscular medicine.
Understanding congenital myopathies like central core disease and centronuclear myopathy, including their vulnerability to malignant hyperthermia.
Exploring limb-girdle muscular dystrophy classifications, focusing on LGMD1 and LGMD2 variants with their manifestations and genetic associations.
Deep dives
Neuromuscular World Focuses on the Peripheral Nervous System
The podcast episode delves into the neuro-muscular world, highlighting the importance of the peripheral nervous system, particularly focusing on the muscles and myopathic disorders.
Congenital Myopathies and Major Variants
The discussion proceeds to cover congenital myopathies, starting with those at birth leading into adulthood. Key congenital myopathies such as central core disease and centronuclear myopathy are discussed, highlighting their pathology and implications, including vulnerability to malignant hyperthermia with anesthesia.
Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Classification
The episode explores the classification of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, detailing the various types and genetic mutations associated with each type. Specific emphasis is placed on understanding the manifestations and genetic underpinnings of LGMD1 and LGMD2 variants.
Neuromuscular Junction Disorders and Diagnosis
A segment on neuromuscular junction disorders covers myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, and X-linked muscular dystrophyus. Diagnostic criteria, treatment options, antibody associations, and key features of each disorder are outlined to aid in understanding and identifying these conditions.
A review of commonly tested topics and other high yield areas in neuromuscular medicine, with Drs. Kevin Yan and Bhaskar Roy.
