ABSTRACT Background A loss of muscle mass and strength is a marker of poor outcomes following surgery. Changes in muscle gene expression following surgery are likely to contribute to postsurgical muscle loss, but the mechanisms controlling these changes are not known. We have previously shown that miRNAs associate with muscle loss in disease, including

Repercussions of Diagnostic Delay in Rare Diseases
ABSTRACT Rare diseases (RDs) are often subject to diagnostic delays due to their low prevalence, clinical variability, and limited professional awareness. This scoping review aimed to map the literature on these delays, examining their clinical, emotional, and socioeconomic consequences.

Psychosocial Determinants of Pain in Muscle Biopsy
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Open muscle biopsy (OMB) is a key diagnostic tool for neuromuscular diseases, though patients often worry about risks and discomfort. This study aimed to assess pain during and after OMB, factors influencing pain perception, and adverse events.

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 ...

Review of nutrition management of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction
Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogeneous, and debilitating disorder characterized by profound intestinal dysmotility and severe nutrition challenges. Its presentation resembles that of mechanical bowel obstruction, but CIPO occurs in the absence of luminal obstruction.
