Co-Occurrence of Myasthenia Gravis and Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy: A Case Series and Review of Literature. [PDF]

open access: yesEur J Neurol
ABSTRACT Background Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) and Myasthenia Gravis (MG) are well‐known rare neuromuscular diseases of respectively genetic and acquired origin. Among muscular dystrophies, the co‐occurrence of MG with FSHD is the most common, representing a non‐negligible “double trouble”.

Comprehensive Profiling of Annexins in Neuromuscular Disorders Reveals a Unique Signature in Dysferlinopathy. [PDF]

open access: yesEur J Neurol
Muscle biopsies from patients across eight neuromuscular disorders and healthy controls were analyzed using immunofluorescence (IF) and immunoblot (WB) to evaluate the expression and localization of seven annexin proteins (A1, A2, A4, A5, A6, A7, A11).

Dynamic MR of Muscle Contraction During Electrical Muscle Stimulation: Potential Application to the Evaluation of Neuromuscular Diseases. [PDF]

open access: yesNMR Biomed
This exploratory study investigated dynamic MRI during neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as a biomarker for muscular diseases. Fourteen healthy controls and ten patients with metabolic and myotonic myopathies underwent 3T MRI scanning. Results showed reduced strain and strain buildup rates in patients' soleus muscles compared to controls ...

Road to conception and successful delivery for a facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy patient

open access: yesSAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2022
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is a muscular dystrophy affecting all ages, primarily people in the second decade. The disease is initially presented with face, shoulder girdle, and upper arm involvement, followed by lower extremity muscle ...

Early onset facioscapulohumeral dystrophy - a systematic review using individual patient data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Infantile or early onset is estimated to occur in around 10% of all facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) patients. Although small series of early onset FSHD patients have been reported, comprehensive data on the clinical phenotype is missing.

Circulating Biomarkers in Muscular Dystrophies: Disease and Therapy Monitoring

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2020
Muscular dystrophies are a group of inherited disorders that primarily affect the muscle tissues. Across the muscular dystrophies, symptoms commonly compromise the quality of life in all areas of functioning.

Five‐year follow‐up study on quantitative muscle magnetic resonance imaging in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: The link to clinical outcome

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023
It is unclear how changes in quantitative muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) relate to changes in clinical outcome in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), although this information is crucial for optimal use of MRI as imaging biomarker in ...
