1. Myopathies - Neurologychannel
   myopathies can be either genetically inherited or occur as a result of endocrine defects, inflammation or other abnormalites.  
   http://www.neurologychannel.com/myopathies/
   
   Extractions: Overview Myopathies are diseases that affect muscles connected to bones (called skeletal muscles), such as the biceps in the upper arm and the quadriceps in the thigh. Myopathies can be caused by inherited genetic defects (e.g., muscular dystrophies), and endocrine, inflammatory (e.g., polymyositis), and metabolic disorders. Nearly all of the myopathies produce weakening and atrophy of skeletal muscles, especially those closest to the center of the body (called the proximal muscles), such as the thigh and shoulder muscles. Muscles furthest from the center of the body (called the distal muscles), such as those in the hands and feet, are generally less affected.

6. Myopathies - Types - Neurologychannel
   There are many types of myopathies, detailed information regarding such can be found here.  
   http://www.neurologychannel.com/myopathies/othertypes.shtml
   
   Extractions: Endocrine myopathies are caused by underlying conditions caused by the over- or underproduction of hormones. These conditions can develop in children and adults and usually respond well to treatment. Steroid myopathy is the most common endocrine muscle disease. Steroid excess, whether caused by an adrenal gland disorder (e.g., Addison disease) or chronic administration of glucocorticoid drugs, causes muscle weakness and wasting. Hyperthyroid myopathy is caused by the thyroid gland producing too much thyroxine. Its symptoms include weakening and wasting of the muscles, especially in the shoulders and hips, and sometimes the eyes.

    Extractions: Although there is no specific treatment for any of the mitochondrial myopathies, physical therapy may extend the range of movement of muscles and improve dexterity. Vitamin therapies such as riboflavin, coenzyme Q, and carnitine (a specialized amino acid) may provide subjective improvement in fatigue and energy levels in some patients. What is the prognosis?

    Extractions: Congenital myopathy is a term for any muscle disorder present at birth. By this definition the congenital myopathies could include hundreds of distinct neuromuscular syndromes and disorders. In general, congenital myopathies cause loss of muscle tone and muscle weakness in infancy and delayed motor milestones, such as walking, later in childhood. Three distinct disorders are definitively classified as congenital myopathies: central core disease, nemaline rod myopathy

    myopathies refer to a class of degenerative skeletal muscle disease that is not caused by nerve dysfunction.

    Extractions: The Tyler Medical Clinic Assisted Conception - Affordable Infertility Treatments - List of Diseases - Myopathies Myopathies refer to a class of degenerative skeletal muscle disease that is not caused by nerve dysfunction. Myopathies cause progressive weakness and wasting away of skeletal muscles. The causes for Myopathies vary. They could be hereditary, an inflammatory response, or the result of an endocrine disorder. The different types of Myopathies are classified according to their causes. Genetic Myopathies include Central Core Disease, Centronuclear (Myotubular) Myopathy, Myotonia Congenita, Nemaline Myopathy, Paramyotonia Congenita, Periodic Paralysis and Mitochondrial Myopathies. These forms vary by symptoms, severity and genetic mutation. Both dominant and recessive modes of inheritance are also present. Certain forms of Centronuclear Myopathy, also known as Myotubular Myopathy, have been found to be X-linked and primarily affects males. Symptoms common among myopathies include weakness of the voluntary muscles of the arms, legs, and trunk, drooping upper eyelids, foot drop, facial weakness and lack of reflexes in the affected muscles. Some symptoms may be transitory. Although there is no effective cure or treatment for them, myopathies are hardly ever debilitating. Due to the varying forms and causes of Myopathies, determining the form of Myopathy the individual patient has is crucial in providing the proper treatment. Diagnosis includes a thorough physical examination, measurement of potassium in the blood, muscle biopsies and an electromyogram (EMG). In genetically based Myopathies, the affected families are strongly advised to consult a genetic counselor. Couples with a history of X-linked form of Myopathy may benefit from a new procedure called Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). In hereditary disorders that are predominant in one gender, implantation of gender-specific embryos through PGD will greatly reduce the chance of having an affected child. A genetic counselor, after conducting a thorough genetic evaluation, can determine whether PGD will be beneficial. PGD is currently available for a number of genetic disorders. PGD is continually being improved in order to test for other genetic disorders.
