Inflammatory Myopathies

Continuum, 2006
To discuss the clinical, laboratory, and histopathologic features and presumed pathogenic mechanisms of the four major categories of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, namely dermatomyositis, polymyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, and inclusion body myositis.Dermatomyositis, polymyositis, necrotizing myopathy, and inclusion body myositis ...

Mitochondrial myopathies

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1994
Major new advances in the genetic and biochemical characterization of mitochondrial myopathies are discussed, within a general presentation of this important new area of human pathology. Mitochondrial disorders can be due to mutations in either nuclear or mitochondrial genes involved in the synthesis of individual respiratory chain subunits or in their

Metabolic Myopathies

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2010
We consider recent developments in disorders affecting three areas of metabolism: glycogen, fatty acids, and the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Among the glycogenoses, new attention has been directed to defects of glycogen synthesis resulting in absence rather than excess of muscle glycogen ("aglycogenosis").

Myopathies

Neurosurgery, 1979
This paper reviews the recent advances in our knowledge of muscle disease. The use of muscle biopsy for diagnosis is discussed. The etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of polymyositis/dermatomyositis are considered. The author discusses the clinical patterns, inheritance, and pathogenesis of progressive muscular dystrophies, especially Duchenne ...

Congenital myopathies

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2004
The congenital myopathies encompass a group of neuromuscular disorders with characteristic morphologic abnormalities in skeletal muscle, including nemaline myopathy, central core disease, multi-minicore disease, and myotubular myopathy. Giant steps have been made in our understanding of the molecular bases of these disorders, all of which show ...

The myopathies

Medical Clinics of North America, 2003
Extraordinary progress has been made in the recognition, understanding, and treatment of myopathy in the past several decades, aided by the application of molecular genetics, electrophysiology, muscle biopsy, and innovative therapies. The symptoms of muscle disease may vary among individual patients with acquired muscle disorders, as well as family ...

Congenital Myopathies

Neurologic Clinics, 1988
AbstractSeveral dozen congenital myopathies are defined by clinical and morphological criteria. The application of the current generation of scientific techniques including immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics has resulted in the expansion of our knowledge and understanding of the well‐established conditions including central core myopathy and ...

Distal myopathies

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2007
Advanced molecular genetic possibilities have made it possible to clarify and delineate an ever growing number of distinct new disease entities in the group of distal myopathies. These diseases share the clinical features of preferential muscle weakness in the feet and/or hands, and as they are genetic disorders that lead to progressive loss of muscle ...

Congenital myopathies

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 1991
About forty different congenital myopathies (CM) are defined by clinical and morphological criteria. Classical types like central core disease, centronuclear myopathy, and nemaline/rod myopathy are now well established and recognized as neuromuscular conditions.

Myopathy in the nyala

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1982
SUMMARY Between January 1973 and June 1981, a total of 21 nyalas (Tragelaphus angasi) died with clinical and/or pathologic evidence of myopathy. The main clinical signs were stiffness, inability to rise, and failure to suckle in newborn fawns. Death usually occurred without premonitory signs of disease. Gross lesions were characterized by white or pale
