No General Association Between Myositis Antibodies and Electromyography Findings

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 160-167, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Myositis‐specific antibodies (MSAs), myositis‐associated antibodies (MAAs), and concentric needle electromyography (EMG) are routinely used in the differential diagnosis of myositis. Their mutual relationship, particularly between MSAs/MAAs and EMG findings, remains unclear.

Impact of a Neurogenic Dysphagia Outpatient Clinic on Diagnosis, Treatment, and Nutrition

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2026.
This retrospective study analyzed 255 patients evaluated at a university‐led neurogenic dysphagia outpatient clinic between 2021 and 2023. It assessed diagnostic, therapeutic, and nutritional outcomes using FEES‐based swallowing evaluations. The findings show that structured outpatient dysphagia care significantly enhances diagnostic precision, guides ...
