Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2E/R4 (LGMD2E/R4) is a rare disease that currently has no cure. It is caused by defects in the gene, mainly missense mutations, which cause the impairment of the sarcoglycan complex, membrane fragility, and progressive muscle degeneration. Here, we studied the fate of some β-sarcoglycan (β-SG) missense mutants, confirming that, like α-SG missense mutants, they are targeted for degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Article Synopsis
  • A retrospective evaluation of microscopic observation data from 1800 male and female Sprague Dawley rats in 104-week carcinogenicity studies revealed common spontaneous nonneoplastic findings across different organ systems.
  • The study identified frequent conditions such as cardiomyopathy, chronic nephropathy, and adrenal cortex hyperplasia among both sexes, with notable differences in prevalence.
  • In male rats, chronic progressive nephropathy (80.9%) and cardiomyopathy (73.2%) were most prevalent, while in females, cystic adrenal degeneration (64.7%) and brain compression from pituitary tumors (62.7%) were common.

Article Synopsis
  • Hydatidosis, or echinococcosis, is a worldwide parasitic disease caused by ingesting echinococcal eggs, with higher incidence in states like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in India.
  • Dogs are the main hosts, while humans and livestock serve as intermediate hosts, with the disease often affecting the liver and lungs, though cardiac cases are rare.
  • A notable case involves a 26-year-old male who died from electrical injuries, where an incidental finding of a hydatid cyst was discovered during autopsy on the heart wall.

Background: Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare inherited cystic disease characterized by bilateral renal cyst formation and congenital liver fibrosis. Cardiovascular disorders such as noncompaction of ventricular myocardium (NVM) have not been reported with ARPKD.

Case Presentation: A 5-month-old girl was examined after presenting with a fever and turbid urine for one day and was diagnosed as urinary tract infection.

Introduction: We conducted a study to determine the prevalence of structural heart disease in patients with CF, the characteristics of a cardiomyopathy not previously described in this population, and its possible relationship with nutritional deficiencies in CF.

Methods: We studied 3 CMP CF patients referred for heart-lung transplantation and a prospective series of 120 adult CF patients. All patients underwent a clinical examination, blood tests including levels of vitamins and trace elements, and echocardiography with evaluation of myocardial strain.
