Uncovering Diaphragm Cramp in SIDS and Other Sudden Unexpected Deaths

Diagnostics
The diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration. Here, we disclose a fascinating patient’s perspective that led, by clinical reasoning alone, to a novel mechanism of spontaneous respiratory arrests termed diaphragm cramp-contracture (DCC).

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.
