With Regard to the Expression Status of Sarcolemmal Aquaporin 4 in Human Muscular Dystrophies
ABSTRACT Human muscular dystrophies are inherited muscle‐wasting diseases caused by the various kinds of gene mutations. Among them, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a representative type. Before the discovery of the causative dystrophin gene of DMD, the fragile myofiber plasma membrane was thought to be the trigger of myofiber necrosis in DMD ...

Diagnostic challenges in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]
The diagnosis of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) can be difficult due to its clinical variability and complex genetic cause. We present three challenging cases: one misdiagnosis of FSHD, one patient with FSHD resembling mitochondrial ...

Quantitative Guanidinium CEST‐Based pH Mapping at 3 T in Healthy and Pathological Muscle
Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) enables high‐resolution pH mapping by measuring the exchange rate between guanidinium and water protons. The current method is based on the Z‐spectra fitting with Bloch–McConnell (BM) equations and allows us to detect pH variations on the order of 0.02 pH units in the very restrained pathophysiological pH ...

In this proof‐of‐concept study, 3D radiomic texture analysis of quantitative muscle MRI (proton density fat fraction (PDFF, %) maps) distinguished the myogenic disease DM1 from the neurogenic disease CMT1A. Compared with DM1, CMT1A showed higher entropy, contrast, and lower homogeneity, reflecting a reticular vs.

Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells Express the DUX4 Protein: A Basis for Further Vascular Research [PDF]
Objective: A growing body of evidence suggests a correlation between endothelial cell dysfunction and cancer, as well as facioscapulohumeral dystrophy, both of which are DUX4-related diseases. However, the endogenous expression of DUX4 within endothelial

Facioscapulohumeral disease [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to discuss several aspects of facioscapulohumeral disease, also called "autosomal dominant facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy" or "Landouzy-Dejerine type of muscular dystrophy" or "Landouzy-Dejerine' s disease" .

Remote Monitoring in Myasthenia Gravis: Exploring Symptom Variability
ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare, autoimmune disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness and potential life‐threatening crises. While continuous specialized care is essential, access barriers often delay timely interventions. To address this, we developed MyaLink, a telemedical platform for MG patients.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is characterized by extreme variability in symptoms with females being less severely affected than males and presenting a higher proportion of asymptomatic carriers.
