Expanding the Differential Diagnosis of Ultrasonographic Flexor Digitorum Profundus–Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Dissociation of Echogenicity: Muscular Dystrophies

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 485-489, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Dissociation of echogenicity of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) on neuromuscular ultrasound has been reported to be a useful sign to differentiate inclusion body myositis (IBM) from more common disease mimics, but it is not clear that this finding is pathognomonic of IBM. Our study aimed to

Rare manifestation of a c.290 C\u3eT, p.Gly97Glu VCP mutation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Introduction. The valosin-containing protein (VCP) regulates several distinct cellular processes. Consistent with this, VCP mutations manifest variable clinical phenotypes among and within families and are a diagnostic challenge. Methods.

Modeling, Evaluation, and In Vivo Estimation of Muscle Cell Diameter With the Random Permeable Barrier Model: Correlation With Subject Characteristics and Isometric Torque

open access: yesNMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 3, March 2026.
We evaluated the random permeable barrier model (RPBM) through simulations, model fitting, and in vivo analysis of 100 healthy adults. Simulations showed that stable estimates of muscle cell diameter and membrane permeability require constraining τ and fixing D0 at ~0.9 of axial diffusivity at long diffusion times.

Cardiac involvement in the dystrophinopathies

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, 2008
The dystrophinopathies are a group of disorders that are characterized by absence or deficiency of functional dystrophin, a large cytoskeletal protein of striated muscle that is closely associated with transmembrane glycoprotein complexes.

Immunohistochemical alterations of dystrophin in congenital muscular dystrophy Alterações imuno-hístoquímicas da distrofina na distrofia muscular congênita

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 1995
The dystrophin distribution in the plasma muscle membrane using immunohystochemistry was studied in 22 children with congenital muscular dystrophy. The dystrophin was detected by immunofluorescence in muscle biopsy through a polyclonal antibody.

Metabolic Alterations in Cardiomyocytes of Patients with Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD) result in progressive weakness of skeletal and cardiac muscles due to the deficiency of functional dystrophin.

The Effects of Resistance Exercise Training on Strength and Functional Tasks in Adults With Limb-Girdle, Becker, and Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophies

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background: The inclusion of resistance training in the treatment and management of muscular dystrophy has previously been discouraged, based on mainly anecdotal evidence.

Muscular dystrophies: key elements for everyday diagnosis and management

open access: yesCardiogenetics, 2013
Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that share similar clinical features and dystrophic changes on muscle biopsy, associated with progressive weakness. Weakness may be noted at birth or develop in late adult life.
