Nationwide Characterization of MFN2‐Related CMT in 176 Japanese Patients: Clinical and Genetic Insights

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a major causative gene for axonal Charcot – Marie – Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A), with a wide phenotypic spectrum. Comprehensive large ‐ scale genotype – phenotype association studies are essential for understanding disease pathogenesis and improved clinical management.

Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.

Comparison of muscle strength between Japanese men with and without metabolic syndrome [PDF]

, 2007
We compared muscle strength between Japanese men with and without metabolic syndrome. We used data for 323 Japanese men with metabolic syndrome and 893 Japanese men without the syndrome. Metabolic syndrome was defined by a new criterion in Japan, and the

Development of a personalized visualization and analysis tool to improve clinical care in complex multisystem diseases with application to scleroderma

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background In complex diseases, it is challenging to assess a patient's disease state, trajectory, treatment exposures, and risk of multiple outcomes simultaneously, efficiently and at the point of care. Methods We developed an interactive patient‐level data visualization and analysis tool (VAT) that automates illustration of a scleroderma patient's ...

Lived and care experiences of chronic musculoskeletal shoulder pain in Australian adults: A qualitative study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Australian evidence on lived and care experiences of chronic musculoskeletal shoulder pain (CMSP), irrespective of disorder classification or disease, is limited. However, such evidence is important for person‐centred care and informing local service pathways and care guidelines or standards.
