Muscle Biopsy and Electromyography Correlation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Introduction: In myopathies, the correlation of individual electromyographic and histopathologic findings remains poorly explored, as most previous studies have focused on the ability of muscle biopsy and electromyography to distinguish the neuropathic ...

A Clinical Study on the Utility of Muscle Biopsy in Patients with Suspected Myopathy [PDF]
Annals of Indian Academy of NeurologyBackground and Objectives: The role of muscle biopsy needs to be redefined in an era where genetic studies have largely supplanted the need for a pathological diagnosis. The objective of the study was to evaluate the utility of muscle biopsy in suspected

Clinical and pathological features of immune-mediated necrotising myopathies in a single-centre muscle biopsy cohort [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022 Objective Immune-mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM) is a subset of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) characterized by significantly elevated creatine kinase level, muscle weakness and predominant muscle fibre necrosis in muscle biopsy.

Muscle B mode ultrasound and shear-wave elastography in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (SWIM): criterion validation against MRI and muscle biopsy findings in an incident patient cohort [PDF]
BMC Rheumatology, 2022 Background B mode ultrasound (US) and shear wave elastography (SWE) are easily accessible imaging tools for idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) but require further validation against standard diagnostic procedures such as MRI and muscle biopsy ...

The Histopathologic Examination of a Second Muscle Biopsy Specimen at a Later Date may Sometimes be the Best Approach to Make a Differential Diagnosis in Neuromuscular Disorders [PDF]
Türk Patoloji Dergisi, 2022 Dear Editor, Neuromuscular disorders still keep their mystery 1. Considering that cases with very mild symptoms cannot be diagnosed at all, it is almost impossible to know the true prevalence of these diseases 2.
