Development and Validation of a Deep Learning‐Based Facial Weakness Score for Objective Assessment in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a muscle disease that leads, among other manifestations, to facial weakness. This weakness can severely impact communication and quality of life, yet it remains under‐researched with limited objective clinical measures.

Asynchrony Related to Mechanical Ventilation Exacerbates Diaphragm Dysfunction in a Mouse Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims In dystrophic mice (mdx, a genetic homolog of Duchenne muscular dystrophy: DMD), previous studies showed that mechanical ventilation (MV) induces ventilator‐induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). However, susceptibility to mechanical stress caused by asynchrony remains unknown.

What Role Does the Central Nervous System Play in Refractory LUTS, and What Are the Therapeutic Implications? ICI‐RS 2025

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims While many patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) improve by treating peripheral causes, a substantial proportion continue to experience symptoms despite apparently successful interventions. Central nervous system (CNS) mechanisms could potentially contribute to persisting symptoms after the initial peripheral cause has been ...

Mitochondrial Complex I and ROS control neuromuscular function through opposing pre- and postsynaptic mechanisms.

PLoS Biology
Neurons require high amounts of energy, and mitochondria help to fulfill this requirement. Dysfunctional mitochondria trigger problems in various neuronal tasks. Using the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ) as a model synapse, we previously reported

How Can We Personalize the Delivery of Onabotulinumtoxin‐A for Patients With Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction?

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) can produce bothersome urinary symptoms, impact quality of life, and in some cases, lead to deterioration of upper urinary tract function. Intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxin‐A (BoNT‐A) is approved for NLUTD in patients who have an inadequate response to or ...

Exercise, exerkines, and muscle–brain crosstalk in Parkinson's disease

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with motor and non‐motor symptoms, driven by dopaminergic loss and α‐synuclein accumulation. Beyond neurodegeneration, growing evidence highlights skeletal muscle health as a key determinant of prognosis, with sarcopenia and frailty contributing to greater disability, fall ...

Error Traps in Pediatric Neuromuscular Block

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromuscular blocking agents are essential for safe pediatric anesthesia but remain a frequent source of preventable morbidity when misused, inadequately monitored, or incompletely reversed. Children, particularly neonates and infants, are especially vulnerable to residual neuromuscular block due to developmental pharmacological ...

Unraveling the spatial landscape of dystrophinopathies: a transcriptomic approach to Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophies

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dystrophinopathies are caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene, resulting in partial (Becker) or complete loss (Duchenne) of dystrophin. Becker (BMD) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are characterized by progressive muscle wasting, fatty replacement, fibrosis, and loss of function.

The Expanding Role of Gene Sequencing in Shaping Fetal Therapies: Clinical and Ethical Considerations

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In utero interventions are transformative in addressing genetic and anatomic conditions during fetal development. Next generation sequencing enables early genetic testing, playing a pivotal role in prenatal decision‐making by supporting risk stratification, precise and timely diagnosis, which directly informs eligibility for fetal surgical and
