Introduction: Dysferlin-deficient murine muscle sustains severe damage after repeated eccentric contractions.
Methods: With a robotic dynamometer, we studied the response of dysferlin-sufficient and dysferlin-deficient mice to 12 weeks of concentrically or eccentrically biased contractions. We also studied whether concentric contractions before or after eccentric contractions reduced muscle damage in dysferlin-deficient mice.
Article Synopsis
- Schizencephaly is a rare brain malformation caused by issues during cell migration, categorized into two types: "closed lips" (type I) and "open lips" (type II), which differ in the structure of the cleft.
- Researchers analyzed data from 32 children with schizencephaly hospitalized between 1998 and 2011, revealing a range of ages at diagnosis and a high incidence of other CNS malformations alongside developmental and neurological issues like cerebral palsy and epilepsy.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary diagnostic tool for recognizing schizencephaly and its associated abnormalities, and advancements in MRI technology are aiding in earlier detection.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of partial and complete rotator cuff tears in shoulder MRI images of patients with shoulder impingement syndrome and review relevant literature on the causes and classifications of these tears.
- A total of 137 MRI examinations were analyzed, revealing that most injuries were partial tears of the supraspinatus tendon, with complete tears predominantly involving the same tendon.
- Among the patients studied, a significant number experienced shoulder pain, with a notable difference in the types of injuries reported between men (more post-traumatic pain) and women (more non-traumatic pain).
Background: Isolated fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP - Solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura/localized fibrous tumour of the pleura) is a rare primary tumour of the pleura of mesenchymal origin. In most cases, it is a benign lesion. It is composed of spindle cells similar to fibroblasts and derives probably from submesothelial mesenchyme.
