Cervical Inlet Patches in R‐CPD: An Unrecognized Predictor of Treatment Failure

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective cohort study identified cervical inlet patches (CIP) in 19.8% of patients undergoing cricopharyngeal botulinum toxin injection for R‐CPD. CIP presence and increasing age independently predicted failure to sustain a long‐term treatment response, suggesting that CIP may be an underrecognized factor in R‐CPD treatment durability ...

NKX2‐1 Downstream Regulatory Structural Variants Explain a Substantial Proportion of Molecular Diagnoses in Patients With Benign Hereditary Chorea

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background NKX2‐1–related disorders (NKX2‐1‐RDs) classically present with a triad of neurological, endocrine, and pulmonary manifestations, including benign hereditary chorea. However, in a fraction of patients, NKX2‐1 coding variants are not detected, and variants outside the NKX2‐1 locus have been reported.

Bethlem myopathy demonstrated in three generations of a rural West Virginia family carrying an autosomal dominant COL6A3 mutation

Marshall Journal of Medicine, 2021
Mutations in the genes that code for type VI collagen can lead to what are known as the collagenopathies (collagen VI myopathies), such as Bethlem myopathy (BTHLM1), which affect structural tissues like muscles and tendons. We present the case of a young

Enabling Functional Independence: A Scoping Review of Upper Extremity Assistive Devices for Adults With Progressive Neuromuscular Diseases

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarizes the spectrum of upper extremity assistive devices for adults with progressive neuromuscular diseases, ranging from low‐tech supports to advanced robotics, exoskeletons, and brain‐computer interface systems. While these technologies show promise for improving enabling function, current evidence is largely limited to ...

Incretin‐Based Therapies: A Testable Hypothesis Linking Incretin Signaling, Mitochondrial Redox, and OXPHOS Efficiency

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Incretin‐based obesity therapies (IBTs), especially GLP‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs), effectively treat obesity and improve comorbidities. However, their impact on energy metabolism is unclear. A recent case of acute generalized muscle weakness in a patient with mitochondrial myopathy after tirzepatide exposure raises concerns ...
