Real‐Time MRI With Deep Learning for Efficient Evaluation of Neuromuscular Breathing Impairment
Breathing impairment is an important and common symptom in neuromuscular disorders. Reliable diagnostics are highly warranted. Real‐time MRI and deep learning‐based lung segmentation were used to analyze respiratory mechanics in patients with Pompe disease, a myopathy with diaphragmatic weakness, compared to healthy controls.

Permutation entropy and irreversibility in gait kinematic time series from patients with mild cognitive decline and early alzheimer’s dementia [PDF]
Gait is a basic cognitive purposeful action that has been shown to be altered in late stages of neurodegenerative dementias. Nevertheless, alterations are less clear in mild forms of dementia, and the potential use of gait analysis as a biomarker of ...

Antisense Oligonucleotides Promote Exon Inclusion and Correct the Common c.-32-13T>G GAA Splicing Variant in Pompe Disease [PDF]
The most common variant causing Pompe disease is c.-32-13T>G (IVS1) in the acid α-glucosidase (GAA) gene, which weakens the splice acceptor of GAA exon 2 and induces partial and complete exon 2 skipping.

Sensory neuropathy in patients with Pompe disease: a case series in Iran
Background Pompe disease is a glycogen storage disease primarily affecting striated muscles. Despite its main manifestation in muscles, patients with Pompe disease may exhibit non-muscle symptoms, such as hearing loss, suggesting potential involvement of

Infantile Pompe Disease: Atypical Variant
Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II, glycogenosis II, or acid maltase defi ciency) is a lysosomal storage disorder in which an alpha-glucosidase (GAA) defi ciency causes intralysosomal accumulation of glycogen in all tissues, notably skeletal muscles. Pompe disease is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait and is caused by mutations in
