Refining Shoulder Diagnostics: A Technical Note on Scapular Physical Examination
Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.Abstract Normal scapulothoracic function relies on a delicate balance among several periscapular muscles and is essential for shoulder motion. Disturbance in this balance can lead to abnormal motion, which can impair shoulder function, leading to pain and discomfort.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose Spin density‐weighted (SDW) and inversion recovery (IR) 23Na MRI provide different sodium contrasts with complementary information. Therefore, the aim was to develop a time‐efficient sequence scheme capable of providing both contrasts by acquiring SDW and IR 23Na MRI data within a single sequence without additional measurement time ...

Muscle pathology from stochastic low level DUX4 expression in an FSHD mouse model
Nature Communications, 2017 Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is a severe myopathy that is caused by abnormal activation of DUX4, and for which a suitable mouse model does not exist.

Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review
Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a genetic progressive muscle disorder often presenting with facial weakness. However, imaging studies specifically evaluating facial muscle involvement and its relationship with clinical severity remain limited. This preliminary study explored magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound

Facial paresis as the first sign in atypical facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
Otolaryngology Case Reports, 2022 Background: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the one of the most common types of muscular dystrophy. We present a retrospective case description of a patient with late-onset, atypical FSHD and provide an overview of the clinical history ...

With Regard to the Expression Status of Sarcolemmal Aquaporin 4 in Human Muscular Dystrophies
Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human muscular dystrophies are inherited muscle‐wasting diseases caused by the various kinds of gene mutations. Among them, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a representative type. Before the discovery of the causative dystrophin gene of DMD, the fragile myofiber plasma membrane was thought to be the trigger of myofiber necrosis in DMD ...
