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 recent years, various myositis-specific and myositis-associated autoantibodies have been identified in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, including dermatomyositis (DM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), and

In Vitro Fertilization is Essential Healthcare for Patients With Rheumatic Disease
Infertility presents a profound physical, emotional, and financial burden, particularly for rheumatology patients who often face substantial barriers to family building. The 2024 Alabama Supreme Court ruling in LePage v. Center for Reproductive Medicine equating embryo destruction with wrongful death introduced new legal uncertainties, sparking ...

ABSTRACT Mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase VA (CA‐VA) deficiency is a rare inherited metabolic disorder caused by biallelic variants of the CA5A gene. It presents with hyperammonemia, lactic acidosis, and ketonuria, with or without hypoglycemia. We report the long‐term follow‐up of the first two reported cases of CA‐VA deficiency: a 16‐year‐old female ...

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an inflammatory myopathy with an insidious onset, often making diagnosis challenging. Although neuroimaging has recently been included in diagnostic criteria, the role of muscle ultrasound—despite being a rapid and cost‐effective tool—in IBM has been less extensively characterized.

Advances in genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic technologies are transforming the diagnosis of genetic myopathies. When integrated with traditional muscle pathology, multi‐omics approaches improve diagnostic yield, clarify disease mechanisms, and support more precise, mechanism‐based therapeutic strategies for patients with neuromuscular disorders ...

Hypertransaminasemia Is a Marker of Severity in Children Hospitalized for Influenza
ABSTRACT Purpose Elevated transaminases have been associated with increased severity in adult influenza cases, but data in the pediatric population are limited. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence, clinical characteristics and prognostic value of elevated transaminases in children hospitalized for influenza.
