A postoperative chest infection developed in 1 patient and a pleural effusion in another. One brachial plexus palsy occurred, which had almost completely resolved by 27 months postoperatively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

COMPLICATIONS: inappropriate positioning; there should be a 10 - 20 degree angle between vertebral border of scapula and the spine. rib and scapula fractures brachial plexus palsy _ brachial artery obstruction pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and pleuritic [gait.aidi.udel.edu]

There were no instances of pleuritic chest pain, hemothorax, or pneumothorax. There was no substantive change in pulmonary function. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSIONS: Although albuterol did not improve global strength or function in patients with FSHD, it did increase muscle mass and improve some measures of strength. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The use of medications, such as albuterol, to increase muscle mass have been tried although the increased muscle mass has not been shown to improve movement and strength. [facialpalsy.org.uk]

Determine whether albuterol increases muscle mass in this patient population as determined by 24 hour urinary creatinine excretion and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). III. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Oral albuterol to increase muscle mass (but not strength). Speech therapy. Surgery to fix a winged scapula. Walking aids and foot support devices if there is ankle weakness. BiPAP to help breathing. [medlineplus.gov]

Some of the possible treatment methods include: Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles Oral albuteral to increase muscle mass Speech therapy Surgery to rectify deformed scapula Use of walking aids and foot supporting devices How can Facioscapulohumeral [dovemed.com]

The findings, based on multiply informative individual meioses and multipoint mapping, suggest that probe p13E-11 is the closest marker for the disorder and it is likely to be located proximal to the disease locus as are all the other present markers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
