19
Q

this has high association with a new cancer in adults; paraneoplastic syndrome

A

dermatomyositis

20
Q

caused by lymphocytes eating up muscles and inflammation in CT around each muscle fiber

A

polymyositis (chronic myositis)

21
Q

progressive muscle weakness and wasting; begin in childhood

A

muscular dystrophies

22
Q

muscle fibers slowly replaced by fibrosis and adipose tissue

A

muscular dystrophies

23
Q

caused by mutation in dystrophin gene (which forms an interface b/t sarcomere and extracellular CT matrix)

A

X-linked Duchenne and Becker muscle dystrophy

24
Q

a finding of this is pseudohypertrophy of calf muscles due to fat infiltration of muscle

A

duchenne and becker muscular dystrophy

25
Q

deals with breathing problems and infections and gowers sign

A

duchenne muscular dystrophy

26
Q

people with this muscular dystrophy live longer and will develop heart problems later

A

becker muscular dystrophy

27
Q

this would have 50% normal fibers stained compared to just one normal stained

A

beckers

28
Q

weakness and hypotonia at or shortly after birth; due to rod shaped intracytoplasmic inclusions

A

nemaline myopathy

29
Q

maternal inheritance, ragged red fibers, epilepsy

A

MERRF

30
Q

diseases in which motor neurons undergo degeneration and die; starts at brain and ends at muscles

A

motor neuron disease

31
Q

deals with damage to both upper and lower motor neurons

A

ALS

32
Q

die from respiratory failure; sx’s are overlooked including cramps, weakness, muscle stiffness and slurred speech

A

ALS

33
Q

UMN damage dealing with difficulty swallowing

A

dysphagia

34
Q

UMN damage dealing with difficulty speaking

A

dysarthria

35
Q

muscle spasticity and hyperreflexia are what motor neuron damage

A

UMN

36
Q

weakness and atrophy, cramping and fasciculations are what motor neuron damage

A

LMN

37
Q

see pale spots in brain CT

A

ALS

38
Q

affects lower motor neurons only and muscle weakness; trapped in body that won’t move; mutation in SMN gene

A

spinal muscular atrophy

39
