E aʻo kākou e pili ana i nā maʻi Neuromuscular ma ke ʻano maʻalahi.

Ke manaʻo nei ʻoe i kekahi manawa ʻaʻohe ou ikaika, paʻakikī ke hāpai i ka lima a i ʻole ka wāwae, a i ʻole e mae kou mau lālā i kou hele ʻana, a nāwaliwali mālie kou mau ʻiʻo? ʻAʻole kēia he mau mea wale nō.

Mai hopohopo, ʻaʻohe mea e makaʻu ai ma hope o ka lohe ʻana i kēia. E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i nā mea āpau me ka maopopo a me ka maʻalahi.

He aha nā maʻi Neuromuscular?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he hui kēia o nā maʻi e hoʻopilikia i nā ʻāpana o kā mākou ʻōnaehana nerve, ʻoiai nā aʻalolo peripheral ( nā aʻalolo e puka ana mai ka lolo a me ke kaula spinal), nā ʻiʻo, a i ʻole ke kamaʻilio ʻana ma waena o nā mea ʻelua. E noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ia mea, hana ʻia ko mākou neʻe ʻana o ke kino i ka wā e hele ai nā leka mai ka lolo ma o nā aʻalolo e hoʻāla i nā ʻiʻo. Inā he hewa ma kekahi wahi o kēlā kaʻina hana, hiki ke loaʻa kēia mau maʻi.

ʻO kēia mau kūlana ka mea maʻamau e hoʻonāwaliwali ai i nā ʻiʻo , ka nawaliwali a i ʻole ka nawaliwali ʻana o nā ʻiʻo (muscle atrophy) , a me nā loli i ka manaʻo (e like me ka maneʻo a i ʻole ke kani ʻana). Eia nō naʻe, hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā hōʻailona ʻē aʻe, ma muli o ke ʻano o ka maʻi.

He aha kēia mau maʻi? Pehea lākou e hoʻopilikia ai i ko kākou kino?

ʻAʻole he maʻi hoʻokahi nā maʻi neuromuscular. He hui lākou o nā maʻi a loaʻa i kēlā me kēia hui nā ʻano maʻi like ʻole. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopilikia i nā ʻāpana aʻe o kā mākou ʻōnaehana neuromuscular:

• Nā pūnaewele pepeiaohao mua o ke kaulahao kuamoʻo
• Nā aʻa aʻalolo (e komo pū ana me ka ganglia aʻa dorsal)
• Nā pūnaewele aʻalolo `(Plexuses)` (e.g. `(brachial plexus)` - pili i ka poʻohiwi, `(lumbosacral plexus)` - pili i ka ʻāʻī)
• Nā aʻalolo peripheral
• Hoʻohui neuromuscular
• Nā olonā ʻiʻo

I kēia manawa, e nānā kākou i nā maʻi e hoʻopilikia ana i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana me nā kikoʻī hou aku.

Nā maʻi e pili ana i nā pūnaewele nerve motor (nā pūnaewele pepeiaohao mua) o ke kaula spinal

He mau maʻi holomua kēia e hoʻopau ai i nā neurons motor . ʻO nā neurons motor kahi ʻano cell i loko o ko mākou lolo a me ke kaula spinal e kōkua iā mākou e neʻe, e like me ka hele wāwae, ke kamaʻilio ʻana, a me ka hanu ʻana. Lawe kēia mau cell i nā leka mai ka lolo a i nā ʻiʻo.

ʻO nā "pūnaewele pepeiaohao mua" he mau pūnaewele aʻalolo hoʻokele i loko o ka mea hina o ke kaula kuamoʻo. He mea nui lākou no ka neʻe ʻana o ko kākou mau ʻiʻo iwi. Ke luku ʻia kēia mau pūnaewele, nalowale nā ​​ʻiʻo i ka lako aʻalolo (denervation) a lilo i nāwaliwali.

ʻO nā maʻi nui e pili ana i kēia mahele:

• ʻO ka maʻi ʻo Lou Gehrig a i ʻole ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - ALS)
• ʻO ka Atrophy Muscular Spinal (SMA)
• ʻO ka atrophy muscular spinal-bulbar (SBMA) a i ʻole ka maʻi o Kennedy
• Polio

Nā pilikia e pili ana i ka Plexus (Plexopathies)

ʻO nā aʻalolo e puka mai ana mai ko kākou iwi kuamoʻo ma nā pae like ʻole e hui pū i ka hopena e hana i kahi pūnaewele paʻakikī, a i ʻole plexus . Loaʻa iā kākou ka brachial plexus ma ko kākou mau lima luna, a me ka lumbar plexus a i ʻole lumbosacral plexus ma ko kākou mau lima lalo, aia ma ko kākou ʻāʻī.

Hiki i kēia mau olonā aʻalolo ke hōʻino ʻia, hoʻopaʻa ʻia, a mumū paha, hiki ke hōʻeha, ʻeha, ʻūlū, a nāwaliwali i ka lima a i ʻole ka wāwae i hoʻopilikia ʻia.

Nā maʻi e pili ana i ke aʻa nerve

He mau lālā pōkole nā ​​aʻalolo o ke aʻalolo kuamoʻo. Puka mai nā aʻalolo kuamoʻo mai nā vertebrae (iwi) ma ko kākou kaula kuamoʻo. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia aʻalolo kuamoʻo nā aʻalolo motor a me nā aʻalolo sensory. ʻO nā aʻalolo motor kahi e hele ai nā leka mai ka lolo a me ke kaula kuamoʻo i nā ʻiʻo ma o nā aʻalolo peripheral.

Ke kaomi ʻia kēia mau aʻa aʻalolo e nā ʻiʻo a puni, hiki ke loaʻa ka ʻeha a me ka maneo ma nā ʻāpana like ʻole o ke kino. Ua kapa ʻia kēia ʻo 'radiculopathy' . Ke kaomi ʻia nā aʻa aʻalolo motor, nāwaliwali nā ʻiʻo.

Aia nā ʻano radiculopathy ma muli o kahi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ke aʻalolo spinal:

• ʻO ka radiculopathy cervical
• Mai waena a i luna o ka umauma (`(thoracic radiculopathy)`)
• ʻO ka radiculopathy lumbar a i ʻole lumbosacral (e pili ana i ka ʻāʻī a me ke kua i lalo)

Nā maʻi e pili ana i nā aʻalolo peripheral

ʻO ka neuropathy peripheral kahi huaʻōlelo laulā no kekahi maʻi e hoʻopilikia ana i nā aʻalolo ma waho o ka lolo a me ke kaula spinal (nā aʻalolo peripheral). Nui nā ʻano a me nā kumu o kēia. Inā ʻaʻole hana pono nā aʻalolo peripheral, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻoneʻe i ko mākou mau ʻiʻo. ʻO ia ke kumu e pili ai kēia mau maʻi i ka hui nui o nā maʻi neuromuscular.

Hiki i nā neuropathies peripheral ke hoʻopilikia i kekahi mau ʻāpana o ke kino, a i ʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopilikia i ke kino holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ke ʻano maʻamau o ka neuropathy peripheral ʻo ia ka mea e hoʻopilikia ai i nā lima a me nā wāwae, ʻoi aku hoʻi nā manamana lima. No ka laʻana, loaʻa i kekahi poʻe me ka maʻi diabetes ka maneʻo ma nā kapuwaʻi o ko lākou mau wāwae, me he mea lā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopā i ka lepo. He laʻana kēlā o kēia.

Eia kekahi mau laʻana:

• Ka pōʻino o ke aʻalolo i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka maʻi diabetes mellitus
• Ma muli o ka hoʻohana nui ʻana i ka waiʻona (Alcohol use disorder)

• Nā kumu hoʻoilina a i ʻole nā ​​​​kumu hoʻoilina (e like me ka maʻi Charcot-Marie-Tooth)
• Nā kumu autoimmune a i ʻole nā ​​​​kumu mumū (e.g., Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy - CIDP, Guillain-Barré syndrome)
• Ka ʻike ʻia ʻana i nā mea ʻawahia (e like me nā kemika ʻawahia e like me nā wai hoʻomaʻemaʻe, nā pesticides)

Nā maʻi hui neuromuscular

ʻO ka neuromuscular junction (NMJ) ka pilina (synapse) ma waena o ke kikowaena o kahi aʻalolo motor a me kahi ʻiʻo. No ke kamaʻilio ʻana me ka ʻiʻo, hoʻokuʻu nā aʻalolo motor i kahi kemika i kapa ʻia ʻo acetylcholine ma o kēia junction. Inā he hemahema i kēia kamaʻilio ʻana, loaʻa nā maʻi e pili ana i ka neuromuscular junction.

ʻO nā maʻi nui e pili ana i kēia hui:

• ʻO ka 'Botulism' (kahi maʻi e hiki ke kū mai ma muli o ka lāʻau make meaʻai)
• ʻO ka maʻi myasthenic Lambert-Eaton (LEMS)
• ʻO ka Myasthenia Gravis

Nā maʻi ʻiʻo (Myopathies)

ʻO nā myopathies nā maʻi e hoʻopilikia pololei i ko kākou mau ʻiʻo iwi (nā ʻiʻo e pili ana i ko kākou mau iwi). Hōʻino kēia mau maʻi i nā olonā ʻiʻo a hoʻonāwaliwali i nā ʻiʻo. Nui nā ʻano myopathies. He congenital kekahi (genetic a i ʻole hereditary). Hiki i kekahi ke ulu ma hope o ke ola.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole i hāʻule nā ​​​​​​ʻeha pololei e like me ka haehae ʻana, ka huki ʻana, a i ʻole ka wili ʻana o kahi ʻiʻo i loko o kēia māhele o "myopathies".

ʻO ka Dystrophy Muscular

ʻO ka muscular dystrophy he hui o nā maʻi he kanakolu a ʻoi e hoʻopilikia i ka hana o nā ʻiʻo ma muli o nā kumu genetic (hoʻoilina). ʻO kekahi o nā ʻano nui:

Nā Myopathies ʻē aʻe

Hiki ke loaʻa nā maʻi ʻeha no nā kumu like ʻole:

• Nā kaulike ʻole o ke electrolyte : No ka laʻana, hiki i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka calcium koko (hypercalcemia) a i ʻole ke kiʻekiʻe o ka potassium koko (hyperkalemia) ke hana i nā pilikia ʻiʻo.
