Chronic Myopathy as the Initial Manifestation of Thyrotoxicosis: A Report of 2 Cases
Conclusions: Although rare, thyrotoxicosis should always be ruled out in a patient with chronic myopathy because this has better prognosis than other primary muscle conditions presenting similarly.

Granulomatous Myositis Associated With Acetylcholine Receptor Antibodies Without Clinical Myasthenia
We present a case of biopsy-proven granulomatous myositis associated with positive acetylcholine receptor binding, blocking, and modulating and antistriated antibodies, without clear clinical symptoms of myasthenia gravis and in the absence of thymoma. In addition, we include rarely reported neuromuscular ultrasound findings of granulomatous myositis in a patient without sarcoidosis. Inflammatory myopathy may precede development of myasthenia gravis in myasthenia gravis associated with concurrent inflammatory myopathy, and it is important to remain vigilant for symptoms suggestive of myasthenia gravis, especially in the pr...

What's in the Literature?
Abstract: In this issue, we review new information related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, diagnostic testing practices, differences in clinical management between patients seen in multidisciplinary and regular clinics, and managing end-of-life care issues. There is new information on genes and genetic risk factors and environmental risk factors. There are 2 other forms of motor neuron disease, progressive muscular atrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy that are also considered. Inflammatory neuropathies are important to identify as they can be treated. Ultrasound is being applied to the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory d...
