Functional imaging in muscular diseases
OBJECTIVE: The development of morphological and functional imaging techniques has improved the diagnosis of muscular disorders. METHODS: With the use of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the possibility of imaging the entire body has been introduced. In patients with suspected myositis, oedematous and inflammatory changed muscles can be sufficiently depicted and therefore biopsies be...
متن کاملMuscle diseases: the muscular dystrophies.
Dystrophic muscle disease can occur at any age. Early- or childhood-onset muscular dystrophies may be associated with profound loss of muscle function, affecting ambulation, posture, and cardiac and respiratory function. Late-onset muscular dystrophies or myopathies may be mild and associated with slight weakness and an inability to increase muscle mass. The phenotype of muscular dystrophy is a...
متن کاملExploring Mitochondria in Neurodegenerative Diseases
in Neurodegenerative Diseases contains an impressive overview of the role of mitochon-drial dysfunction as the primary effector of, or relevant mechanism leading to, neurodegeneration. In the 26 Mitochondria and Free Radicals in Neurodegenerative chapters featured in this book, the authors guide the Diseases reader from the basic concepts of mitochondrial function and free radical generation to...
متن کاملMitochondria, endothelial cell function, and vascular diseases
Mitochondria are perhaps the most sophisticated and dynamic responsive sensing systems in eukaryotic cells. The role of mitochondria goes beyond their capacity to create molecular fuel and includes the generation of reactive oxygen species, the regulation of calcium, and the activation of cell death. In endothelial cells, mitochondria have a profound impact on cellular function under both healt...
متن کاملKetogenic diets, mitochondria, and neurological diseases.
The ketogenic diet (KD) is a broad-spectrum therapy for medically intractable epilepsy and is receiving growing attention as a potential treatment for neurological disorders arising in part from bioenergetic dysregulation. The high-fat/low-carbohydrate "classic KD", as well as dietary variations such as the medium-chain triglyceride diet, the modified Atkins diet, the low-glycemic index treatme...
