Lambert and Lempert
Subject: Lambert and Lempert
This word drives me crazy. Is there is a Lambert stitch or suture or is it just Lempert?? This doc is definitely saying LAMBERT but he is slurring everything anyway. Just want to make sure. Thanks

Lambert-Eaton syndrome (LES)
a generalized disorder of neuromuscular transmission caused by a defect in the release of acetylcholine quanta from the presynaptic nerve terminals; often associated with small cell carcinoma of the lung, particularly in elderly men with a long history of cigarette smoking. In contrast to myasthenia gravis, weakness tends to affect solely axial muscles, girdle muscles, and less often the limb muscles; autonomic disturbances, e.g., dry mouth and impotence, are common; the deep tendon reflexes are unelicitable; on motor conduction studies, responses on initial stimulation are quite low in amplitude, but they show marked post-tetanic facilitation after a few seconds of exercise. Lambert-Eaton syndrome is due to loss of voltage-sensitive calcium channels located on the presynaptic motor nerve terminal. See: myasthenic syndrome. Syn: carcinomatous myopathy, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, Lambert syndrome, myasthenic syndrome.
There is a Lambert suture and limber suture.
