Gillian Butler-Browne began working on muscle at the Institut Pasteur in the laboratory of François Gros in 1978. She characterized the expression profile of different myosin isoforms during both human and rodent development. Vincent Mouly joined this laboratory for his PhD in 1982, and defined the different populations of myoblasts appearing during development in birds and then in humans.

Abstract: Cricopharyngeal muscle myotomy (CPM) is a common intervention for relief of dysphagia in patients with Oculo-pharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD). Because of difficulties in approaching and dissecting cricopharyngeal muscle in these patients, we used transillumination for the myotomy (TA-CPM). Transillumination is a simple technique to improve the guidance and navigation of the surgeon in determining the location and depth of myotomy.

Ophthalmoparesis and ptosis can be caused by a wide range of rare or more prevalent diseases, several of which can be successfully treated. In this review, we provide clues to aid in the diagnosis of these diseases, based on the clinical symptoms, the involvement pattern and imaging features of extra-ocular muscles (EOM). Dysfunction of EOM including the levator palpebrae can be due to muscle weakness, anatomical restrictions or pathology affecting the innervation.

Acquired eyelid ptosis in adults, with complete loss of levator palpebrae superiosis function, can be a challenging problem to diagnose and treat. A 48-year-old woman with chronic bilateral severe blepharoptosis of 10 years duration is presented, whose neurological investigations excluded myasthenia gravis. The patient was preliminarily diagnosed with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia.

Intrafibral vacuoles are the morphological hallmark in a wide variety of human skeletal muscle disorders with different etiology. In most cases, differential diagnosis is feasible with a routine histochemical work up of muscle biopsy. Ultrastructural analysis is an important confirmatory tool, but it is not widely available.
