Exploring the Content Validity of Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures to Capture the Patient Experience of Becker Muscular Dystrophy

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The patient experience of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is not well understood, making it difficult to evaluate the conceptual relevance of proposed patient‐reported outcome (PRO) measures. This study aimed to conceptualize the patient experience of BMD and evaluate content validity and perceptions of meaningful changes of ...

Optimization of the Cell‐Based Assay Methodology to Study Degradation of Acetylcholine Receptors (Antigenic Modulation) by Antibodies From Myasthenia Gravis Patients

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Degradation of cell‐surface acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) by antigenic modulation is a key pathogenic mechanism of myasthenia gravis (MG) autoantibodies, yet standard assays primarily detect antibody binding rather than functional effects.

Administration of Schwann Cell‐Like Cells Differentiated From Tonsil‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes Peripheral Nerve Regeneration by Inducing Macrophage Polarization in a Chronic Constriction Injury Model

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
TMSC‐SCs were mixed with fibrin adhesive and administered into the sciatic nerve of CCI rats, and nerve conduction studies and histopathological observations confirmed the regeneration of the peripheral nerve and gastrocnemius muscle. In addition, the expression of M1 and M2 macrophage markers was observed after the administration of TMSC‐SCs. ABSTRACT

Utility of Pelvic Floor Therapy and Behavioral Interventions in the Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (NLUTD) Population

open access: yesNeurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) describes a wide range of symptoms depending on neurologic diagnosis and the resulting bladder and sphincter dysfunction. This narrative review is designed to address the question regarding which NLUTD population benefits most from pelvic floor therapy and behavioral interventions, and ...

Urinary Incontinence and Risk of All‐Cause Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Observational Studies

open access: yesNeurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent condition among adults and imposes a substantial societal burden, yet its association with all‐cause mortality remains uncertain. This study systematically reviewed and quantified the association between UI and mortality risk.
