Abstract

Nemaline myopathy, a rare congenital myopathy, is characterized by generalized muscle weakness, hypotonia, respiratory insufficiency, and the presence of rod structures on muscle biopsy, which is caused by mutations in at least 13 known genes. A patient showing gradually deteriorated proximal muscle weakness and rod-shaped structures found in muscle fibers was suspected of having nemaline myopathy, following by the next-generation sequencing. We report two novel compound heterozygous variants in nebulin gene in a family residing in China. One is an intron event caused by an underlying variant at the + 3 position of the donor site. Another is a novel nonsense variant, which may lead to the end of protein translation and have a significant impact on protein function. The pathogenicity of this novel compound heterozygous variant remains to be verified. Variants reported here could help to diagnose NM for clinicians.

Kaum Vorteile durch intraarterielle Lyse während Thrombektomie

Nach der Thrombektomie kleinere Fragmente über eine intraarterielle Lyse auflösen – dies könnte die Schlaganfalltherapie verbessern. Zwei aktuelle Studien ergeben für die periprozedurale Lyse jedoch keine großen Vorteile. Die Frage, wie viel sie nützt, bleibt weiter offen.

Nasenstimulation lindert chronische Migräne

Wird die Naseninnenseite durch Vibrationen stimuliert, kann dies offenbar die Zahl der Migränetage von Menschen mit chronischer Migräne deutlich senken. Darauf deuten die Resultate einer randomisiert-kontrollierten deutsch-finnischen Untersuchung.

Stumme Schlaganfälle − ein häufiger Nebenbefund im Kopf-CT?

In 4% der in der Notfallambulanz initiierten zerebralen Bildgebung sind „alte“ Schlaganfälle zu erkennen. Gar nicht so selten handelt es sich laut einer aktuellen Studie dabei um unbemerkte Insulte. Bietet sich hier womöglich die Chance auf ein effektives opportunistisches Screening?

Die elektronische Patientenakte kommt: Das sollten Sie jetzt wissen
