Abstract Introduction Hydrops fetalis carries high risks of morbidity and mortality for the fetus, as well as obstetric risks such as hypertensive disorders, or mirror syndrome, for the pregnant person. We aimed to characterize the prevalence and types of hypertensive disorders diagnosed in pregnancies with non‐immune hydrops fetalis and single ...

Nemaline myopathy occurred sporadically in a 59-year-old woman. She had slowly progressive weakness. A muscle biopsy specimen showed nemaline rods, increased variation in fiber size, apparent loss of Type IIb fiber differentiation, and a "moth-eaten" pattern of the intermyofibrillar network.

Bi-allelic mutations in MYL1 cause a severe congenital myopathy. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Congenital myopathies are typically characterised by early onset hypotonia, weakness and hallmark features on biopsy. Despite the rapid pace of gene discovery, approximately 50% of patients with a congenital myopathy remain without a genetic ...

Prevalence of function‐limiting late effects in survivors of head and neck cancer
Abstract Background Survivors of head and neck cancer (HNC) are commonly affected by multiple complex and interrelated long‐term and late effects that can adversely affect their function and quality of life. Objective To define the prevalence of neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, visceral, oncologic, and other late effects affecting function and quality ...

Leiomodin-3-deficient mice display nemaline myopathy with fast-myofiber atrophy
Nemaline myopathy (NM) is one of the most common forms of congenital myopathy, and affects either fast myofibers, slow myofibers, or both. However, an animal model for congenital myopathy with fast-myofiber-specific atrophy is not available. Furthermore,

Alpha‐Synuclein as a Potential Biomarker for Inclusion Body Myositis in Blood and Muscle
We examined alpha‐synuclein in muscle and serum samples of patients with IBM and other neuromuscular disorders. With the use of immunohistochemistry, we identify alpha‐synuclein muscular reactivity as a complementary diagnostic marker. Serum alpha‐synuclein levels measured by ELISA were not generally altered in IBM but correlated with disease duration ...

Exome sequencing reveals independent SGCD deletions causing limb girdle muscular dystrophy in Boston terriers [PDF]
Background: Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a heterogeneous group of inherited autosomal myopathies that preferentially affect voluntary muscles of the shoulders and hips. LGMD has been clinically described in several breeds of dogs, but the
