Aging causes skeletal muscles to become atrophied, weak, and easily fatigued. Here, we have tested the hypothesis that normal aging in skeletal muscle cells is associated with Ca2+ intracellular dyshomeostasis and oxidative stress.

Malignant Hyperthermia in Sweden: Clinical Presentations and Genetic Findings. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic, hypermetabolic and potentially lethal reaction to potent volatile anaesthetics and the muscle relaxant succinylcholine. To improve the understanding of MH, the aim of this retrospective study was to describe the Swedish cohort with respect to clinical manifestations, demographics ...

Most glucose is processed in muscle, for energy or glycogen stores. Malignant Hyperthermia Susceptibility (MHS) exemplifies muscle conditions that increase [Ca2+]cytosol. 42% of MHS patients have hyperglycemia.

Background The cost-benefit of stocking dantrolene in maternity units for treating malignant hyperthermia (MH) has been recently questioned because of the low incidence of MH crisis in the general population and the low utilization of general anesthesia ...

Functional effects of mutations in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor type 1 (RYR1) linked to malignant hyperthermia and central core disease [PDF]
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. In susceptible individuals, a MH crisis may be triggered by commonly used halogenated anaesthetics (halothane, isoflurane) or muscle relaxants ...

Hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy - Biological rationale, clinical application, and treatment results [PDF]
There is substantial evidence from preclinical data that the antitumor cytotoxicity of selected chemotherapeutic agents either alone or combined with radiation can be enhanced by appropriate heat exposure (40-44 degrees C) of cells or tumor tissues ...

We have compared the ultrastructure of skeletal muscle biopsies from patients that have survived a [Malignant Hyperthermia, MH] episode and siblings that test positive for MH susceptibility with those from siblings that tested negatives.

Calcium homeostasis and role of ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1) in immune cells [PDF]
Ryanodine receptors are intracellular Ca2+ release channels located in the membrane of the Endoplasmatic/Sarcoplasmatic Reticulum. Ryanodine receptor 1 isoform is preferentially expressed in skeletal muscle where it is responsible for release of Ca2 ...

Malignant hyperthermia: A case report
Malignant hyperthermia is a rare hypermetabolic pharmacogenetic pathologic disorder of calcium release control in skeletal muscle following exposure to depolarizing muscle relaxants and inhalational anesthetics in general anesthesia.

The genetic cause(s) of malignant hyperthermia and exertional heat illness are unknown in approximately 30% of cases. To address this barrier, the authors performed genome sequencing on a large cohort of cases, identifying rare variants in ASPH, a gene ...
