Scanning for therapeutic targets within the cytokine network of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies [PDF]

, 2015
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) constitute a heterogeneous group of chronic disorders that include dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM) and necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM).

Nicotinamide and Pyridoxine Supplementation Enhances Muscle Stem Cell Activity and Muscle Regeneration in Humans: A Randomized Placebo‐Controlled Clinical Trial of High Force Eccentric Contraction Recovery in Healthy Young Men

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In a randomized clinical trial, we test the potential of combined nicotinamide (NAM) and pyridoxine (PN) to improve muscle recovery through muscle stem cell (MuSC) activity. Daily oral NAM and PN supplementation after high intensity muscle contractions enhances MuSC activation and differentiation, and accelerates muscle regeneration, providing new ...

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.

Molecular mechanisms in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Myositis is a group of rare autoimmune diseases. Muscle weakness and fatigue are the dominant symptoms and inflammation with T cells and macrophages is a characteristic finding in muscle tissue.

Evaluation of quantitative muscle MRI and an intelligent phenotyping housing system as advanced phenotyping methods in a mouse model of calpain 3‐deficient muscular dystrophy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We applied quantitative MRI of the lower limb and automated home‐cage phenotyping to a mouse model of calpainopathy to detect early disease changes. At 15 months, calpain 3‐deficient mice showed increased water T2 values correlating with immune cell infiltration in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, while assessment of motor activity revealed only ...

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Distal Myopathy

The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1990
Various types of the distal myopathy except Welander's late distal myopathy of Swedish type were described. There were many reports in the past concerning the varieties of the distal myopathy. Distal myopathy is a rather rare disorder and it may be difficult to diagnose these cases.

RYR1 causing distal myopathy [PDF]

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2017
AbstractBackgroundCongenital myopathies due to ryanodine receptor (RYR1) mutations are increasingly identified and correlate with a wide range of phenotypes, most commonly that of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility and central cores on muscle biopsy with rare reports of distal muscle weakness, but in the setting of early onset global weakness ...

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

A Case of Flaccid Quadriparesis

Indian Journal of Medical Specialities, 2019
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the most common inflammatory myopathy above the age of 50 years and three times more common in males than females. It presents as a distal more than proximal myopathy and has an indolent progressive course.
