Respiratory muscle dysfunction in patients with nemaline myopathy
Conclusions: Respiratory muscle weakness is present in all clinical NM forms included and may be present irrespective of the degree of motor function impairment. Hence, screening of respiratory function is important in patients with NM to guide respiratory management.

Glucocorticoid-Induced Myopathy in People with Asthma: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: There were limited studies and inconsistent results on glucocorticoid-induced myopathy in people with asthma, and its association with the characteristics of glucocorticoids use. We recommended future studies should use a commonly accepted operational definition of myopathy, utilize a cohort study design, measure the cumulative dosage of glucocorticoids, and integrate possible confounding factors in the analysis.PMID:33951991 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2021.1926488
