- Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A) is an inherited disorder causing progressive muscle weakness due to mutations in the CAPN3 gene.
- Researchers studied two LGMD2A patients with unique CAPN3 mutations, using various analysis methods to examine muscle and mitochondrial features.
- The study identified distinct mitochondrial dysfunction patterns linked to each mutation, revealing specific structural changes in muscle tissue.
The recent rise in the use of linezolid to treat a variety of resistant pathogens has uncovered many side effects. Some patients develop lactic acidosis, myelosuppression, optic or peripheral neuropathies, and myopathies. We evaluated an elderly patient who presented to the Emergency Room with linezolid toxicity and a novel neurologic complication characterized by bilateral globi pallidi necrosis.
