Cardiovascular Health in Children and Adolescents With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxilase Deficiency
Conclusions Increasing evidence indicates that CAH individuals are prone to develop a number of early CV risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, low-grade inflammation, increased IMT and subclinical cardiac dysfunction, already in childhood. The therapeutic management of patients with CAH remains a challenge and current treatment regimens do not always allow optimal biochemical control. Overexposure to glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids as well as to androgens may contribute to the development of unfavorable metabolic and CV changes, even though metabolic derangement in CAH patients may also ...

Nemaline myopathy – Diagnostic and management dilemma
Introduction: We are presenting a case on prenatal diagnosis of nemaline myopathy, in a couple whose last baby died from the same genetic condition. Nemaline myopathy is a rare genetic disorder affecting the muscles with a range of severity and can be inherited as recessive or dominant. There are 13 different genes known to be linked with this condition. In her last pregnancy, the only ultrasound finding was isolated talipes and patient declined further invasive testing at the time. The diagnosis was made clinically when baby was born and confirmed with muscle biopsies and genetic testing.

Anti-HMGCR myopathy may resemble limb-girdle muscular dystrophy
Conclusions Anti-HMGCR myopathy can resemble LGMD. Diagnosis of patients with a LGMD-like presentation of anti-HMGCR myopathy is critical because these patients may respond favorably to immunotherapy, especially those with shorter disease duration.

Ultrasound-based detection of glucocorticoid-induced impairments of muscle mass and structure in Cushing ’s disease
ConclusionsWe provided preliminary evidence that the ultrasound-derived measurements of muscle thickness and echo intensity can be useful to detect and track the changes of muscle mass and structure in patients with steroid myopathy and we suggest that the combined assessment of muscle mass, strength, and performance should be systematically applied in the routine examination of steroid myopathy patients.

Proctalgia and constipation secondary to hypertrophic polyglucosan inclusion body myopathy of the internal anal sphincter: a case report
ConclusionsHereditary polyglucosan inclusion body myopathy of the internal anal sphincter should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient presenting with severe anal pain and constipation in the absence of an anal fissure or sepsis. If medical therapy with calcium antagonists fails to provide symptom relief, lateral internal sphincterotomy should be considered rather than botulinum toxin injection.

Orbital imaging in thyroid-related orbitopathy
Publication date: Available online 25 July 2018Source: Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and StrabismusAuthor(s): Christopher Lo, Shoaib Ugradar, Daniel RootmanSummaryOrbital imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis and management of thyroid-related orbitopathy (TRO). Diagnostically, it is used to compliment a careful ophthalmic examination, laboratory values, and ancillary studies to confirm the presence of TRO and/or dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON). It can also be helpful in surgical planning and understanding the progression of thyroid myopathy. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonan...

P3-4-8. Utility of diaphragm ultrasound and phrenic nerve conduction in myopathy
Respiratory dysfunction in myopathy such as muscular dystrophy is extremely important because it is directly related to life prognosis, and appropriate evaluation and management is necessary. For objective assessment of respiratory muscle strength in myopathy, we study the usefulness of diaphragm ultrasonography and phrenic nerve study. Nineteen myopathy patients who were confirmed by genetic testing or muscle biopsy during our hospital visit were included. In both cases, respiratory function test, phrenic nerve conduction test, diaphragm ultrasonic examination were performed.

Quantitative muscle ultrasound in two canine models of human myopathies
Non-invasive tools to monitor the muscle over disease progression or during a treatment are in intensive development in clinical and preclinical research. Imaging as an alternative to more invasive and less representative muscle biopsies is particularly attractive. We tested the ability of muscle ultrasound to follow muscle pathology in the GRMD dog, a model of DMD, and the HACD1-deficient dog, a model of centronuclear myopathy (CNM). Ultrasound allowed a follow-up of muscle sectional area, with in both diseases a decrease in the biceps femoris (BF) muscle sectional area aggravating over time.

3-2-02. Texture Analysis of Muscle Ultrasound can differentiate myopathic conditions
Muscle sonography may show high densities in various myopathic conditions. Further classification among myopathic conditions could be possible by texture analysis, which analyzes relationships between the neighboring pixel densities.The following groups of subjects were assessed: (1) 19 patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1), (2) 11 patients with inflammatory myopathy (IM), and (3) 16 normal control. A LOGIQe ultrasonography and an 11-MHz linear probe were used to obtain muscle images of medial gastrocnemius.

A novel SYNE1 variant segregates with a wrist-drop phenotype in a large multigeneration pedigree (P1.138)
Conclusions:We report a novel SYNE1-related myopathy characterized by a unique pattern of upper extremity and facial weakness. Previously, SYNE1-related muscle disease has been reported in (2) individual cases and one parent-offspring trio with proximal muscle weakness and contractures, and was designated as Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 4. The pedigree described here is the largest reported to date and expands the phenotype associated with SYNE1 pathogenic variants.Disclosure: Dr. Roggenbuck has nothing to disclose.

Acute Peripheral Neuropathy and Chikungunya Infection (P3.308)
Conclusions:CHIKV infection is possibly associated with neuropathic pain, with potential lesion to small-fiber nerves. Acute carpal syndrome might be caused by mechanical compression caused by soft tissue edema, by a direct infectious neuritis or by immune-mediated mechanisms. Further research on its pathogenesis and long-term prognosis is warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Dantas Pagliarini has nothing to disclose. Dr. Passos dos Santos has nothing to disclose.
