This article reviews historical and current NMR approaches to describing in vivo
bioenergetics of skeletal muscles in normal and diseased populations. It draws upon the first …

Myotonic dystrophy is the combination of progressive myotonic myopathy, multiorgan
involvement and autosomal dominant inheritance. Currently, two distinct entities of myotonic …

Abstract Purpose of Review: This article describes clinical and electrical myotonia and
provides an update on the classification, diagnosis, and management of myotonic disorders …

Myotonic dystrophy type 2 is caused by a (CCTG)/(CCUG) n repeat expansion in the first
intron of the ZNF9 gene. The pathomechanism for the myotonic dystrophies is not well …

Background—Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is a genetic disorder characterized by
skeletal muscle symptoms, metabolic changes, and cardiac involvement. Histopathologic …

The continuous development of magnetic resonance imaging broadens the range of
applications to newer areas. Using MRI, we can not only visualize, but also track …

complementary tool in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of inherited neuromuscular …

Objectives: The present study investigated changes in cardiac energy metabolism and
function in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) before and after exercise training …

Context Myotonic dystrophies (DM) are dominantly inherited muscle disorders characterized
by myotonia, muscle weakness, and wasting. The reasons for sarcopenia in DMs are …
