UDP‐glucose dehydrogenase variants cause dystroglycanopathy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.Abstract UDP‐glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) variants have been associated with hypotonia, developmental delay, and epilepsy. We report the first pathologic evidence of dystroglycanopathy in siblings with UGDH variants. Both presented around 6 months with developmental delay and elevated creatinine kinase.

The Impact of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in the Treatment of Heart Failure [PDF]
, 2017 The number of patients who suffer from heart failure is rapidly increasing. In about one‐third of heart failure patients, conduction delays cause dyssynchronous left ventricular contractions, which leads to reduction in left ventricular function, adverse

Claustrum Volume Is Reduced in Multiple Sclerosis and Predicts Disability
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The claustrum is a small, thin structure of predominantly gray matter with broad connectivity and enigmatic function. Little is known regarding the impact of claustrum pathology in multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods This study assessed whether claustrum volume was reduced in MS and whether reductions were associated with specific ...
