Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor neuron disease inevitably leading
to generalized muscle weakness and premature death. Sleep disturbances are extremely …

The main reason for short survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is involvement of
respiratory muscles. Severe compromise of diaphragmatic function due to marked loss of …

Respiratory muscle weakness is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with
neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). Respiratory involvement in NMDs can manifest broadly …

Abstract Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder involving both
upper and lower motor neurons that results in progressive weakness of skeletal muscles …

Many neurodegenerative diseases manifest in an overall aged population, the pathology of
which is hallmarked by abnormal protein aggregation. It is known that across aging, sleep …

Symptoms of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in younger boys with DMD are often poorly
perceived and/or articulated by the patients or their families. As a result it is the watchful eye …

Respiratory motor neuron death arises from multiple neurodegenerative and traumatic
neuromuscular disorders. Despite motor neuron death, compensatory mechanisms …

There is no single test currently available, which can predict respiratory failure in patients
with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with high sensitivity and specificity. This study …
