Background: Myosin heavy chain 7 ()-related myopathies (-RMs) are a group of muscle disorders linked to pathogenic variants in the gene, encoding the slow/beta-cardiac myosin heavy chain, which is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. The phenotype is heterogeneous including distal, predominantly axial or scapuloperoneal myopathies with variable cardiac involvement.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed the clinical, muscle MRI, genetic and myopathological features of 57 patients.

The aim of this study was to explore whether National Football League (NFL) coaches show variation in their decision-making on fourth down when traveling through time zones. Data from visiting teams in games from 20 seasons (2000-2020) of the NFL were retrieved from online sources ( = 5360 games). Decision-making was measured with the percentage of offensive plays on fourth down.

The NA62 experiment at CERN, configured in beam-dump mode, has searched for dark photon decays in flight to electron-positron pairs using a sample of 1.4×10^{17} protons on dump collected in 2021. No evidence for a dark photon signal is observed.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) present clinicians with the challenge of managing immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which can range from mild to severe due to immune system activation . While guidelines recommend discontinuing ICIs for grade 3 partial and all grade 4 irAEs, there is growing interest in rechallenging patients based on oncological outcomes, particularly for cardiovascular and neurological irAEs where data remains scarce . We retrospectively evaluated the safety of ICI rechallenge following grade 3-4 irAEs, specifically focusing on cardiovascular and neurological events, in patients discussed at our multidisciplinary immunotoxicity assessment board between 2019 and 2021.

Article Synopsis
  • Motor neuron disorders are a diverse group of diseases that involve the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, affecting both upper and lower motor neurons and can be either sporadic or hereditary.
  • Hereditary forms of these disorders are complex and often overlap in clinical and genetic features, making diagnosis challenging.
  • This review outlines the main types of inherited motor neuron disorders, their historical descriptions, clinical characteristics, and updates on the genes associated with conditions like spinal muscular atrophy and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
