Low handgrip strength is associated with diabetic foot disease in geriatric patients with type 2 diabetes
This study aims to reveal the prevalence of low handgrip strength in older patients with type 2 diabetes who have diabetic foot disease and to assess the association of handgrip strength with diabetic foot disease in older patients with type 2 diabetes.METHODS: Eighty-nine geriatric patients with diabetic foot ulcers and 69 patients without diabetic foot ulcers who presented to the endocrinology outpatient clinic between August 2020 and November 2021 were included in the study. The exclusion criteria were the usage of steroids, stroke-induced quadriplegia, myopathy, disability, hemodialysis treatment, type 1 diabetes, pati...

The role of potassium in muscle membrane dysfunction in end-stage renal disease
CONCLUSIONS: In ESRD patients, the muscle membrane is depolarized, mainly due to hyperkalemia.SIGNIFICANCE: Since normal muscle fatigue has been attributed to potassium-induced depolarization, it seems likely that this mechanism is also a major cause of the exaggerated muscle fatigue and weakness in ESRD patients.PMID:34740043 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2021.09.012

Statin-Associated Necrotizing Myopathy Leading to Acute Kidney Injury: A Case Report
We present a case of a female patient who was on chronic rosuvastatin therapy and developed necrotizing myopathy. The disease progressed to acute kidney and liver injury. We discontinued the drug, started supportive measures, and initiated renal replacement therapy with a high cutoff dialysis membrane once. Her recovery was prompt, with a normal control electromyography 2 weeks after discharge.Case Rep Nephrol Dial 2021;11:129 –135

P049 Skeletal muscle involvement in COVID-19 infection: a case report and systematic review
Conclusion Severe skeletal manifestations such rhabdomyolysis occur in covid-19. More research is needed to discover if this is through direct viral invasion of the tissues, or indirectly via systemic cytokine release, hyperlactataemia and hypo-oxygenation. CK should be routinely checked in those critically unwell or with severe myalgia or weakness to identify treatable rhabdomyolysis early. Chronic autoimmune conditions such as the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies may have viral environmental triggers, and one case tested positive for a myositis specific antibody. Whether patients with acute covid- 19 related myositis...
