Exertional rhabdomyolysis and heat stroke : beware of volatile anesthetic sedation [PDF]
In view of the enormous popularity of mass sporting events such as half-marathons, the number of patients with exertional rhabdomyolysis or exercise-induced heat stroke admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) has increased over the last decade.

Myostatin: a Circulating Biomarker Correlating with Disease in Myotubular Myopathy Mice and Patients
Myotubular myopathy, also called X-linked centronuclear myopathy (XL-CNM), is a severe congenital disease targeted for therapeutic trials. To date, biomarkers to monitor disease progression and therapy efficacy are lacking.

The Role of C/EBP‐Homologous Protein in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
ABSTRACT The Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies (IIMs) are a group of autoimmune disorders characterised by persistent muscle inflammation and diverse clinical manifestations. Common symptoms include muscle weakness, myalgia, and elevated serum creatine kinase levels. Recent findings highlight the relevance of muscle fibre necrosis in IIMs.

Phosphoinositides (PIs) are membrane lipids that regulate signal transduction and vesicular trafficking. X-linked centronuclear myopathy (XLCNM), also called myotubular myopathy, results from loss-of-function mutations in the MTM1 gene, which encodes the

Abstract figure legend Intrafusal muscles contained within muscle spindles are endowed with ryanodie receptor 1 (RyR1) calcium channels and participate in proprioceptor function. Mutations in RyR1 linked to severe RYR1‐congenital myopathies affect calcium release from both extrafusal as well as intrafusal muscles.

Abstract Disruption of extracellular pH and proton‐sensing can profoundly impact cellular and protein functions, leading to developmental defects. To visualize changes in extracellular pH in the developing embryo, we generated a zebrafish transgenic line that ubiquitously expresses the ratiometric pH‐sensitive fluorescent protein pHluorin2, tethered to

CCDC78: Unveiling the Function of a Novel Gene Associated with Hereditary Myopathy
CCDC78 was identified as a novel candidate gene for autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy-4 (CNM4) approximately ten years ago. However, to date, only one family has been described, and the function of CCDC78 remains unclear. Here, we analyze for the
