The utility and tolerability of ultrasound guided muscle biopsy in the investigation of myopathy: a follow-up study
ConclusionThis follow-up study reinforces the conclusion of its predecessor by highlighting that ultrasound guided percutaneous muscle biopsy is a useful and tolerable adjunct to the traditional surgical technique in investigating muscle disorders.

Nonsurgical hypoparathyroidism is associated with skeletal muscle dysfunction and restrictive lung disease
CONCLUSION: Detailed testing of patients with HP without overt muscle and lung diseases revealed significant impairment in parameters of skeletal muscle function. Myopathy and RLD were observed in a considerable proportion of patients with HP.PMID:37477385 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvad091

Critical illness myopathy and trajectory of recovery in acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy: a prospective observational trial protocol
Introduction Acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU) and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Continuous RRT (CRRT) non-selectively removes large amounts of amino acids from plasma, lowering serum amino acid concentrations and potentially depleting total-body amino acid stores. Therefore, the morbidity and mortality associated with AKI-RRT may be partly mediated through accelerated skeletal muscle atrophy and resulting muscle weakness. However, the impact of AKI-RRT on skeletal muscle mass and function during and following critical illn...

Characteristics of cardiac involvement in immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy
ConclusionCardiac involvement is not uncommon in IMNM. However, besides clearly statistically significant differences in the disease course, and in the values of troponin T and myoglobin, our data did not show any statistically significant difference in other features of cardiac involvement between patients with different subtypes of IMNM.

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.

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.

Recognizable Pattern of Arthrogryposis and Congenital Myopathy Caused by the Recurrent TTN Metatranscript-only c.39974-11T   >  G Splice Variant
Conclusion The recurrent TTN c.39974–11T > G variant consistently causes congenital arthrogryposis and persisting myopathy providing evidence that the metatranscript-only 213 to 217 exons impact muscle elasticity during early development and beyond. There is a recognizable pattern of muscle involvement, which is distinct from other myopathies and provides valuable clues for diagnostic work-up.

FP.40 A cross-sectional study on LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy and SELENON-related myopathy, the first results of the LAST STRONG Study
LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-MD) and SELENON(SEPN1)-related myopathy (SELENON-RM) are inherited myopathies characterized by slowly progressive proximal muscle weakness, spinal rigidity and respiratory insufficiency. Here we present baseline features of patients with LAMA2-MD and SELENON-RM in a 1,5-year natural history study to select outcome measures and reach trial readiness; the LAST STRONG study. The protocol consisted of neurological examinations, functional measurements, questionnaires, muscle ultrasound, pulmonary function tests, and Dual Energy Xray absorptiometry (DEXA)-scan.

Screening value of lung ultrasound in connective tissue disease related interstitial lung disease
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common manifestation of connective tissue diseases (CTD), including idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, systemic sclerosis (SSc), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjogren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, mixed connective tissue  disease, Behcet's disease, and undifferentiated connective tissue disease.1,2 It occurs in about 40% of patients with CTD3 and is one of the leading causes of death.4 A proportion of patients with CTD-ILD may develop a progressive fibrosing phenotype characterized by increasing fibrotic abnormalit ies, worsening dyspnea, irreversible respiratory failure, and high mortality.

COVID-19 associated phrenic nerve mononeuritis: a case series
This study characterised the hemidiaphragm elevation on 3-month interval chest X-rays (CXRs) of patients post COVID-19 pneumonia. 467 CXRs were screened; 19 (4.1%) had an elevated hemidiaphragm. There were 15 (3.2%) patients of interest with new hemidiaphragm elevation, persisting on average 7 months post COVID-19 diagnosis. Symptomatic patients underwent diaphragm ultrasound (n=12), pulmonary function test (n=10), muscle function test (n=6) and neurophysiology (n=5), investigating phrenic nerve function. Ultrasound demonstrated reduced/paradoxical diaphragmatic movements in eight; four of eight had reduced thickening frac...
