Regional anesthesia and muscle-wasting diseases in pediatrics: A focused educational review

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia
The muscular dystrophies or muscle-wasting diseases include a diverse group of genetic disorders, which result in progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles, progressive muscle weakness, and comorbid multi-system involvement.

Testing the Feasibility of a Passive and Active Case Ascertainment System for Multiple Rare Conditions Simultaneously: The Experience in Three US States [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Owing to their low prevalence, single rare conditions are difficult to monitor through current state passive and active case ascertainment systems.

Twelve‐month change in quantitative MRI calf muscle fat fraction in CMT1A predicts clinical change over 4 years

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We measured clinical and quantitative MRI outcome measures in CMT1A to assess long‐term responsiveness, establish longitudinal validity and assess MRI as a bridging biomarker. Methods Twenty patients with CMT1A and 20 matched controls underwent MRI, myometry and clinical assessments up to four times over mean 4‐year follow‐up ...

Slow twitch paraspinal muscle dysregulation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis exhibiting HIF‐2α misexpression

JOR SPINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
This study indicates an association of abnormal HIF‐2α expression in paraspinal myoblasts and a disproportionate slow twitch muscle fiber content in the convexity of the curvature in a sub‐set of AIS subjects, suggesting HIF‐2α dysregulation as a possible risk factor for AIS. The role of HIF‐2α in paraspinal muscle function during spinal growth and its

Depletion of skeletal muscle satellite cells attenuates pathology in muscular dystrophy

Nature Communications, 2022
Boyer et al. created genetic mouse models of muscular dystrophy in which satellite cells were selectively depleted. The depletion of satellite cells at select times was protective.

Prenatal muscle development in a mouse model for the secondary dystroglycanopathies [PDF]

, 2016
The defective glycosylation of α-dystroglycan is associated with a group of muscular dystrophies that are collectively referred to as the secondary dystroglycanopathies.

UDP‐glucose dehydrogenase variants cause dystroglycanopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract UDP‐glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) variants have been associated with hypotonia, developmental delay, and epilepsy. We report the first pathologic evidence of dystroglycanopathy in siblings with UGDH variants. Both presented around 6 months with developmental delay and elevated creatinine kinase.

Core Clinical Phenotypes in Myotonic Dystrophies

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2) represent the most frequent multisystemic muscular dystrophies in adulthood. They are progressive, autosomal dominant diseases caused by an abnormal expansion of an unstable nucleotide repeat located in ...

Nintedanib decreases muscle fibrosis and improves muscle function in a murine model of dystrophinopathy [PDF]

, 2018
Duchenne muscle dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness. Dystrophin deficiency induces instability of the sarcolemma during muscle contraction that leads to muscle necrosis and replacement of muscle by ...

High‐Throughput Immunoassays for Cavin‐4 IgG: A Diagnostic Tool for Immune‐Mediated Rippling Muscle Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTCavin‐4 was identified as a potential autoantigen for immune‐mediated rippling muscle disease (iRMD). To validate this, we developed and tested various immunoassays, including a cell‐based assay (CBA), cavin‐4 recombinant protein ELISA, and multi‐peptide ELISA. Among 19 iRMD patients, all exhibited muscle rippling, and 13 had percussion‐induced
