Abstract:
Development of clinical neurophysiology, especially in neuromuscular disease investigation in the 20th century underscores the careers of two academic physician-investigators. Experimental models of neuromuscular disorders (toxic and diabetic neuropathies, myasthenia gravis, nerve transplant and repair) with emphasis on regeneration are described. Subsequent clinical application has validated the animal studies. The value of disease related support societies (Muscular Dystrophy, Charcot Marie Tooth and Myasthenia Gravis) is discussed, not only for patient information and support but also for support of research projects and clinical research fellowship training. The clinician-teacher-investigator as a role model is mentioned, particularly in relation to Dr. Jack Petajan's career, a truly renaissance man. Credit is given to the great teachers of clinical neurophysiology and neuromuscular diseases of the past 50 years.
