Dougherty Part 10 Flashcards
Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy presents where
proximal muscles affected:
shoulder to humerus
thigh
what is seen Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
begin to walk with a waddling gait because of weak hip and leg muscles
trouble getting out of chair or climbing stairs
weakness in shoulder
Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy is typically related to what
dystrophyn glycoprotein complex
Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy presents where
face
pecks
biceps
Facioscapulohumeral MD presents how
facial weakness
wasting of the upper arms and shoulder muscles
the scapular bones look like wings when the arms are raised
Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy presents with what triad
early on humeropperoneal weakness (proximal in the upper limbs and distal in the lower limbs)
prominent contractures, especially elbows and ankles
cardiomyopathy
what muscular dystrophy do you see cardiomyopathy
Emery Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy
what muscular dystrophy do you see a waddling gait
limb girdle muscular dystrophy
what muscular dystrophy do you see the scapular bones popping out like wings when arms are raised
Facioscapulohumeral MD
what issue can be elicited by percussion of the thenar eminence
myotonic dystophy
what is seen in myotonic dystrophy
facial muscle atrophy and ptosis
myotonia (sustained involuntary contration)- stiffness, difficulty releasing grip
abnormal gait and weak foot dorsiflexion
weakness of intrinsic hand and wrist extension
what is the issue in myotonic dystrophy
AD
Dystrophila myotonia-protien kinase (DMPK)
CTG repeat expansion on 19q
what is anticipation and when is it seen
onset at a younger age in succeeding generations
myotonic dystrophy
hypotonic channelopathies are due to what
potassium:
hypokalemic periodic paralysis
hyperkalemic periodic paralysis
normokalemic periodic paralysis
malignant hyperpyrexia aka malignant hyperthermia is due to what
Calcium channel
Ryanodine Receptor RyR1 (RYR1 gene)
what is seen in malignant hyperpyrexia and what triggers it
sudden hyper metabolic state with tachypnea and general muscle contraction
triggered by anesthesia (halogen containing gases or succinylcholine)
how do you treat malignant hyperthermia
dantrolene
