NEW ADVANCES IN QUANTITATIVE RADIOLOGY:MRI IMAGING IN MYOPATHIES
… applied to the diagnosis and characterization of myopathies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The work integrates artificial intelligence (AI), radiomics, and advanced imaging techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy and pattern recognition in muscle diseases. The thesis is structured into …

Identifying biological pathomechanisms of TTN-affected myopathies using RNA-Sequencing data
The TTN gene is composed of 364 exons (363 coding) and encodes for titin, the largest protein in nature. Pathogenic TTN variants result in a wide spectrum of skeletal muscle and cardiac disorders known as Titinopathies. These differ in inheritance patterns, onset age, disease course and severity. …

Hypercontraction and Drosophila : a model system for the study of human myopathies
… associated with muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies. Development of model systems in which to utilize high-throughput screens for novel compounds will help in drug discovery for these diseases. In addition, genetic model systems will allow us to dissect the molecular and cellular pathways …

Meat Quality of Broiler Breast Fillets with White Striping and Woody Breast Muscle Myopathies
<p>The global poultry industry has been faced with emerging broiler breast meat quality issues known as white striping and woody breast. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of white striping and woody breast hardness on meat quality traits in broiler breast fillets. Birds were …

Mechanisms underlying the development of weakness in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: an in vitro single muscle fibre contractility study
… part of the spectrum of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). Although the pathogenic mechanisms are different, the unifying feature is that of weakness caused, in some way or another, by an inflammatory attack on muscle. The mechanism by which weakness develops is still unclear, but …

Prediction and Evaluation of Breast Myopathy
<p>Broiler breast myopathies, including woody breast, white striping, and spaghetti breast, negatively impact the industry. Therefore, evaluation, prediction, and frequency of these muscle abnormalities on modern birds are important for decision making. Modern broilers are not highly active and …

Delineation of the genotype and phenotype of children presenting with dystrophies, excluding dystrophinophathies, in the Western Cape of South Africa. (2019-2020)
Background Muscular dystrophies (MD) and myopathies are a distinct group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous inherited muscle diseases. They cause muscle weakness often with cardiac, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal dysfunction, leading to reduced longevity. MDs and myopathies present across …

Responsiveness of Cobb MV × 700 Broilers to Dietary Amino Acid and Energy Density
… have been linked to an increase in breast muscle myopathies such as white striping and woody breast. Therefore, a series of trials were conducted to determine the responsiveness of live performance, carcass characteristics, and breast muscle myopathies of Cobb MV × 700 broilers to dietary AA and …

Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of 3-(N-Butylethanimidoyl)-4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (BHC) Analogues for Myosin II Inhibition
The objective of current treatments for various myopathies is to interrupt the signal from the brain to the affected muscle group, providing relief. To prevent unwanted side effects and possible poor drug-drug interactions, the downstream cause of myopathies and muscle movement, myosin II, can be …

A novel compound heterozygous NEB mutationin Korean patients with intellectual disability, epilepsy,and acongenital myopathy
… mutations are known to cause autosomal recessive myopathies and the patients have generalized muscle weakness together with neurodevelopmental phenotypes, I concluded that this novel compound hetero zygote NEB mutation might be the disease-causing mutation underlying the patients’ clinical …

Mitochondrial Biology in Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis
… approximately 1/3 of all idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. It is characterized by progressive weakness of distal and proximal muscles and is the most common muscle disorder in individuals over 50 years of age. Currently, there is no known cause, cure, or enduring treatment for sIBM, although a …

Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Innervation and ALS Pathogenesis by MicroRNA 206
… gene expression often result in neuropathies and myopathies, reflecting the intimate communication between muscle and motor nerve. In this thesis, I present my studies on the function of microRNAs in neuromuscular synapse regeneration and neurodegenerative disease. First, I show that the …

Muscle disorder or metabolic disorder: genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic insights into the pathogenesis of wooden breast and white striping in commercial broiler chickens
… and severely impacting meat quality. Two such myopathies, wooden breast and white striping, are the focus of this dissertation due to their high prevalence and economic importance. Severe wooden breast presents grossly as pale, enlarged, and palpably firm pectoralis major muscle, with visible …

An Analysis of Mitochondrial DNA in Rett Syndrome and Other Neurodegenerative Disorders
… <p>Our preliminary studies in mitochondrial myopathies indicated that mtDNA could be detected from limited amounts of blood, amniotic fluid, and single human lymphoblasts. Multiplex PCR, restriction digestion and single cell sequencing were used to identify the LHON (Leber's Hereditary Optic …
