We presented a case of a 49-year-old presenting with atypical chest pain and hypertrophic phenotype cardiomyopathy without coronary artery disease. At cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), the left ventricle was of normal volumes and preserved global ejection fraction with an asymmetric wall hypertrophy. The evaluation of native myocardial T1 has been calculated at an average global value of 924 ms, compatible with hypertrophic phenotype cardiomyopathy with reduced native T1 values as observed in Anderson-Fabry disease.

We present the case of a 42-year-old Indian male with prurigo nodularis, exhibiting multiple verrucous, brownish-black nodules on the left lower and right upper extremities, with milder involvement of the right lower extremity. The lesions were asymmetrically distributed in a near-linear pattern, with prominent white hyperkeratosis and associated moderate pruritus and paresthesia. Differential diagnoses included pemphigoid nodularis, verruca vulgaris, and hypertrophic lichen planus, with a biopsy confirming prurigo nodularis.

Intrinsic Muscle Stem Cell Dysfunction Contributes to Impaired Regeneration in the mdx Mouse.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle

Sprott Centre for Stem Cell Research, Regenerative Medicine Program, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Ottawa, Canada.

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting that leads to diminished lifespan. In addition to the inherent weakness of dystrophin-deficient muscle, the dysfunction of resident muscle stem cells (MuSC) significantly contributes to disease progression.

Methods: Using the mdx mouse model of DMD, we performed an in-depth characterization of disease progression and MuSC function in dystrophin-deficient skeletal muscle using immunohistology, isometric force measurements, transcriptomic analysis and transplantation assays.

Proportional Ear Reduction: The Rule of Threes.

Background: Human ear growth continues beyond puberty, resulting in ears that are typically approximately 10 millimeters (mm) larger in older individuals compared to their younger counterparts. Not only is the overall growth of the ear an indicator of age, but also the disproportionate growth of its parts. The largest part, the concha, shows the slowest growth rate, while the smallest part, the earlobe, shows the greatest growth rate.

Lacrimal gland enlargement in thyroid eye disease.

Int Ophthalmol

November 2024

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Adelaide, North Terrace, SA, 5000, Australia.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate lacrimal gland (LG) enlargement in thyroid eye disease (TED) patients on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on TED patients who had undergone fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI of the orbits. The lacrimal gland was segmented on OsiriX in consecutive axial and coronal slices to determine its volume.
