Myotonic dystrophy is a multisystemic disorder. The epidemiology of
DM is examined in the first chapter of this book as well as
potential therapeutic strategies. The authors then go on to review
the various involvement of the endocrine system in myotonic
dystrophy and therapeutic strategies are proposed. The fourth
chapter gives an overview on the diagnostic assessment and
management of distinct clinical manifestations of CNS (Central
Nervous System) involvement in DM patients, and the main topics
regarding its pathogenesis are explored. The next chapter focuses
on the strategy of neuromuscular blockage for patients with
myotonic dystrophy, especially focusing on premedication, induction
of anaesthesia, response to muscle relaxants, the crucial points of
safe anaesthesiological care and other perioperative triggers. The
development of biomarkers is of high importance in the diagnosis
and monitoring of diseases and thus is examined with relation to
DM1 (myotonic dystrophy type 1) patients. Other chapters summarize
the different rehabilitative approaches that have been proposed in
this disease; the novel, interesting findings of therapeutic
potential to target DM1 with small molecule kinase inhibitors and
the promises his may provide to this devastating disorder; the
controversial, phenotypical consequences of the interrupted alleles
on DM1 patients; and the sleep disorders associated with myotonic
dystrophies.
