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

Mitochondrial myopathies

Annals of Neurology, 1985
AbstractMitochondrial myopathies are clinically heterogeneous disorders that can affect multiple systems besides skeletal muscle (mitochondrial encephalomyopathies or cytopathies) and are usually defined by morphological abnormalities of muscle mitochondria.

Distal myopathies

Revue Neurologique, 2013
Distal myopathies are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized clinically by progressive muscular weakness and atrophy beginning in the hands or feet, and pathologically by myopathic changes in skeletal muscles. Five distinct distal myopathies are identified, among them four have been recently defined by their gene and causative ...

Oculopharyngodistal myopathy

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2022
Purpose of review Oculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM) is a rare adolescent or adult-onset neuromuscular disease that is characterized by progressive ocular, facial, pharyngeal and distal limb muscle weakness. The rimmed vacuoles and intranuclear inclusions in myofibers constitute the pathological hallmark of OPDM.
