| carcinomatous myopathy | <syndrome> A condition characterised by muscle weakness that is similar to the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. For this reason, it has been referred to as myasthenic syndrome. This disorder is caused by an insufficient release of neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) by the nerve cells. Unlike myasthenia gravis, as muscle contractions are continued, strength will increase. The cause of Lambert-Eaton syndrome is unknown, but is usually associated with small cell carcinoma of the lung or an autoimmune illness. (27 Sep 1997) |

| centronuclear myopathy | Slowly progressive generalised muscle weakness and atrophy beginning in childhood; on biopsy of skeletal muscle, the nuclei of most muscle fibres are seen to be located near the centre of a small fibre (the normal position for a 10-week embryo) rather than at the periphery of the fibre; familial incidence. Autosomal dominant recessive and X-linked [310400] forms occur. Synonym: myotubular myopathy. Distal myopathy, myopathy affecting predominantly the distal portions of the limbs; onset is usually after age 40, with weakness and wasting of small muscles of the hands; The infantile form and the Swedish later-onset are autosomal dominant and there is a Japanese late-onset type that is recessive. Minicore-multicore myopathy, an uncommon nonprogressive myopathy with early onset, proximal weakness, and hypotonia. Muscle fibres show focal defects of oxidative and myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase enzymes with disorganization of myofibril ultrastructure. Mitochondrial myopathy, weakness and hypotonia of muscles, primarily those of the neck, shoulder, and pelvic girdles, with onset in infancy or childhood; on biopsy, giant, bizarre mitochondria are seen located between muscle fibrils just beneath the sarcolemma. The dominant form is due to deletion of mitochondrial DNA and the recessive form is due to a complex deficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rod myopathy | A congenital myofibrillar abnormality in which small threadlike or rod-shaped bodies are scattered through the muscle fibres. It is marked by hypotonia and proximal muscle weakness. It is also called rod myopathy with reference to the threadlike (greek nema, thread) rods or myofibrils (latin fibrilla, a little fibre or threadlike structure). (12 Dec 1998) |
| myopathy | <neurology> Any disease of a muscle. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (18 Nov 1997) |

It is also called rod myopathy with reference to the threadlike (greek nema, thread) rods or myofibrils (latin fibrilla, a little fibre or threadlike structure). (12 Dec 1998) |
| ocular myopathy | A specific type of slowly worsening weakness of the ocular muscles, usually associated with a pigmentary retinopathy. See: Kearns-Sayre syndrome, oculopharyngeal dystrophy. Synonym: ocular myopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyrotoxic myopathy | Extreme muscular weakness in severe thyrotoxicosis affecting muscles of limbs and trunk as well as those used in speech and swallowing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chick nutritional dermatosis | Dermatosis in chicks, with eruptions about the eyes, mouth, and feet; responds to pantothenic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nutritional amblyopia | Amblyopia resulting from lack of vitamin B-complex constituents. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nutritional anaemia | Any anaemia resulting from a dietary deficiency of materials essential to red blood cell formation, e.g., iron, vitamins (especially folic acid), protein. Synonym: deficiency anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nutritional and metabolic diseases | A collective term for nutritional disorders (result of poor assimilation or utilization of food) and metabolic disorders (result of poor metabolism or inherited enzyme abnormality). (12 Dec 1998) |
| nutritional cirrhosis | Cirrhosis occurring in persons or animals with general or specific dietary deficiencies; methionine and cystine deficiency may produce changes of cirrhosis in animals, but it is uncertain whether malnutrition in humans leads to cirrhosis or only to reversible fatty infiltration of the liver. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nutritional dropsy | Oedema due to hypoproteinaemia secondary to malnutrition. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nutritional encephalomalacia of chicks | A disease of young chicks caused by vitamin E deficiency. Synonym: crazy chick disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
