3D Radiomic Texture Analysis of Quantitative Muscle MRI Enhances the Distinction Between Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 and Charcot–Marie‐Tooth Neuropathy Type 1A: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2026.
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.

Bone health in adults with non‐ambulatory neuromuscular disorders: scoping review of risk factors, diagnosis and management

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 56, Issue 8, Page 1283-1300, August 2026.
Abstract Background Non‐ambulatory adults have an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures due to reduced weight‐bearing and diminished neuromuscular stimulation, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. Aims This scoping review aimed to systematically evaluate risk factors, diagnostic indicators and management strategies for optimising ...

Rhabdomyolysis: a narrative review

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
Rhabdomyolysis is the acute necrosis of striated skeletal muscle, with release of its constituents into the extracellular space and circulation. Acute muscle pain (myalgia), weakness, and edema are associated with serum levels of the muscle enzyme ...

Update on idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.

Autoimmunity, 2006
The inflammatory myopathies are a group of acquired diseases, characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate of the skeletal muscle. On the basis of clinical, immuno-pathological and demographic features, three major diseases can be identified: dermatomyositis (DM); polymyositis (PM); and inclusion body myositis (IBM).

Treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

Joint Bone Spine
Adult idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are rare autoimmune disorders affecting multiple organs, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Current management relies on immunosuppressants like corticosteroids, methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, rituximab, and intravenous immunoglobulin, though treatment responses vary across ...

IFN-γ +874 T/A Is Associated with High Levels of Sera CPK in Patients with Inflammatory Myopathies

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Aim of the study: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are autoimmune diseases with a low prevalence and incidence worldwide. The levels of IFN-γ production by T-lymphocytes are related to disease activity.
