Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Malnutrition is a condition characterized by physical weakness caused by the patient's lack of attention to dietary health. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can be treated with general and specific therapies. Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, clinically characterized primarily by muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, and even myotonia. Electromyography (EMG) examination reveals distinct myotonic discharges.
