Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2004
Despite major advances in molecular genetics, histopathologic evaluation of muscle biopsy specimens continues to provide important diagnostic information in patients with suspected muscle diseases and in patients with vasculitic neuropathies. Muscle biopsy specimens are used in diagnosing many inherited as well as inflammatory and toxic myopathies ...

Interpretation of the muscle biopsy
1984Although enzyme histochemical techniques are needed to establish an accurate diagnosis in many neuromuscular disorders, some diagnoses can be established without them by using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material stained with HE alone or with additional slides prepared by the PAS, PTAH or van Giesen techniques.

Muscle biopsies are essential in the diagnosis of primary diseases of muscle. Nerve biopsies, while less commonly employed for diagnosis, remain essential in specific cases. Proper technique in preparation of the specimen and an understanding of the clinical picture is essential in interpretation of the biopsy.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice
Muscle biopsy is often required to provide a definitive diagnosis for neuromuscular disorders and can be performed using open surgical or percutaneous needle biopsy techniques. Fresh samples that are subsequently frozen in the laboratory are preferred by laboratories engaged in research, whereas formalin-fixed muscle is processed by diagnostic ...

Vastus Lateralis Muscle Biopsy
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1984To the Editor.— During the past ten years, the muscle biopsy technique has become a valuable asset to researchers in sports medicine and exercise physiology for examining various properties of skeletal muscle. Somewhat surprisingly, the risks of this procedure have not been well documented, despite the fact that both researchers and institutional ...

Muscle Biopsy: Technic and Interpretation [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1973 A muscle selected for biopsy must be actively, but not terminally, involved by the disease, and the specimen must be obtained atraumatically with the fibers oriented longitudinally in its long axis. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections are inadequate for interpretation of muscle diseases.

Diagnostic significance of the muscle biopsy
The American Journal of Medicine, 1958Abstract 1.1. A retrospective evaluation of the value of the random skeletal muscle biopsy at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in the eleven year period from 1946 through 1956 is reported. 2.2. The changes seen on examination of muscle tissue were of value in diagnosis in some patients with sarcoidosis, polyarteritis and trichinosis.

Diagnostic outcome of muscle biopsy
Muscle & Nerve, 2015ABSTRACTIntroduction: We reviewed the diagnostic yield of muscle biopsy according to the presence or absence of muscle weakness, hyperCKemia, and electromyogaphic (EMG) abnormalities. Methods: In a retrospective study, 698 muscle biopsy reports were analyzed. Logistic regression models for myopathy and specific myopathy were fit, and receiver‐operating

Operative Techniques in General Surgery, 2002
F ' ew diseases can be as disabling and debilitating as those that involve the skeletal muscles. These disorders can eventually strip patients of all freedom and independence, and more often than not result in an untimely death. Although a solid clinical diagnosis is of course crucial, histologic and biochemical verification is invaluable.

External Intercostal Muscle Biopsy
Archives of Neurology, 1975• External intercostal muscle biopsies were performed on 36 patients with neuromuscular disease, 13 patients undergoing thoracotomy for other diseases, and 3 healthy volunteers. The procedure is safe, of diagnostic value, and uniquely useful as a research tool, as it allows correlation of results of histochemical, ultrastructural, physiological ...
