Dysfunctional sarcomere contractility contributes to muscle weakness in ACTA1‐related nemaline myopathy (NEM3)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Annals of Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/ana.25144
Abstract: Nemaline myopathy (NM) is one of the most common congenital nondystrophic myopathies and is characterized by muscle weakness, often from birth. Mutations in ACTA1 are a frequent cause of NM (ie, NEM3). ACTA1 encodes alpha‐actin… read more here.

Obesity attenuates inflammation, protein catabolism, dyslipidaemia, and muscle weakness during sepsis, independent of leptin
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle"
DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12904
Abstract: Muscle weakness is a frequently occurring complication of sepsis, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Interestingly, obesity attenuates sepsis‐induced muscle wasting and weakness. As the adipokine leptin is strongly elevated in obesity and has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00134-020-05944-4
Abstract: Critically ill patients often acquire neuropathy and/or myopathy labeled ICU-acquired weakness. The current insights into incidence, pathophysiology, diagnostic tools, risk factors, short- and long-term consequences and management of ICU-acquired weakness are narratively reviewed. PubMed was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00223-020-00778-0
Abstract: We identified the strength cutpoints concerning mobility impairment, then identified the muscle mass cutpoints concerning weakness, and compared the results with other diagnostic criteria to develop the clinical diagnostic criteria associated with functional impairment. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10265-021-01340-1
Abstract: In plants, F1 hybrids showing hybrid weakness exhibit weaker growth than their parents. The phenotypes of hybrid weakness are often suppressed at certain temperatures. However, it is unclear whether hybrid weakness in Capsicum annuum ×… read more here.
