An accurate classification of neuromuscular disorders is important in providing proper treatment facilities to the patients. Recently, the microarray technology is employed to monitor the level of activity or expression of large number of genes simul...
Morphological characteristics of muscle fibers, such as their cross-sections, are important indicators of the health and function of the musculoskeletal system. However, manual analysis of muscle fiber morphology is a labor-intensive and time-consumi...
OBJECTIVE: Genetic diagnosis of muscular dystrophies (MDs) has classically been guided by clinical presentation, muscle biopsy, and muscle MRI data. Muscle MRI suggests diagnosis based on the pattern of muscle fatty replacement. However, patterns ove...
BACKGROUND: Dystrophinopathies are the most common type of inherited muscular diseases. Muscle biopsy and genetic tests are effective to diagnose the disease but cost much more than primary hospitals can reach. The more available muscle MRI is promis...
INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Needle impedance-electromyography (iEMG) assesses the active and passive electrical properties of muscles concurrently by using a novel needle with six electrodes, two for EMG and four for electrical impedance myography (EIM). Here...
