Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

In a small human trial in SMA patients neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue, and improved leg muscle strength and walking.

If your foot hurts when walking, it could be caused by overuse, injury, or multiple medical conditions. Here are the common reasons and what you can do next.

since previous work found that repeat expansions in the range of 30 to 100 CAGs were necessary — but not sufficient — to cause Huntington’s. McCarroll agreed that 100 or fewer CAGs are not ...

In addition to the causes of the fires, investigators are also probing insufficient water supplies and pressure at fire hydrants in the Pacific Palisades, an affluent community ravaged by a ...

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is investigating the cause of the Palisades fire, the first of several blazes to devastate the Los Angeles area over the past week.

Languages: English. You can get in touch with Khaleda by emailing k.rahman@newsweek.com Investigators are beginning their work to determine the origin and cause of huge fires in the Los Angeles area.

Although these diets may lead to more rapid weight loss, research suggests they’re more likely to cause reductions in muscle mass and water weight rather than fat mass and body fat percentage.

This leads to greater inflammation and causes muscles around the airways to constrict, which can lead to wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath or a burning feeling in the chest, especially during ...

The study also directly linked protein instability to the development of reducing body myopathy, a rare condition which causes muscle weakness and wasting, as well as Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal ...
