19
Q

congenital myopathies may present as what

A

“floppy baby” (hypotonia)

arthrogryposis- congenital fixation of a join in an extended or flexed position

A

central core disease

21
Q

central core disease is what and due to what

A

hypotonia

AD- ryanodine receptor-1 (RYR1) gene defect

22
Q

central core disease proposes a risk for what

A

malignant hyperthermia

23
Q

Nemaline Myopathy presents how

A

nonprogressive hypotonia, weakness
delayed development in kids
involves proximal limb muscles

24
Q

what is seen histologically in Nemaline Myopathy

A

subsarcolemmal spindle-shaped particles from Z-band (alpha-actin) material
look like purple deposits in blue cells (trichrome stain)

25
Q

Centronuclear (myotubular) myopathy is characterized by what

A

central nuclei usually confine to type 1 fibers

26
Q

what is seen in lipid myopathies

A

lipids accumulare in myocytes

RED DOTS in the cells on lipid stain

27
Q

lipid myopathies are due to what

A

defects in carnitine transport

defects in mitochondrial dehydrogenase enzyme system

28
Q

ragged red fibers are seen in what

A

mitochondrial myopathies

29
Q

mitochondrial myopathies are also known as what and is due to what

A

“oxidative phosphorylation diseases”

defect may be mtDNA or nuclear DNA

30
Q

what is seen histologically in mitochondrial myopathies aka oxidative phosphorylation diseases

A

ragged red fibers from aggregated mitochondria

mitochondria “parking lot” paracrystalline inclusions

31
Q

Dermatomyositis presents how

A

lilac or heliotrope discoloration of upper eyelids with periorbital edema
scaling erythematous eruption or dusky red patches over knuckles, elbows, knees (Grotten lesions)
muscle weakness +/- myalgias (slow and symmetrical)

32
Q

what are grotten lesions and when are they seen

A

seen in dermatomyositis

scaling erythematous eruption or dusky red patches over knuckles, elbows, knees

33
Q

dermatomyositis is associated with what

A
up to 25% have caner (paraneoplastic w/ breast and lung)
juvenile DM (in addition GI involved causing abdominal pain)
34
Q

dermatomyositis is due to what

A

microvasculature being attacked by antibodies and compliment creating ischemia

35
Q

what is seen on bone X-rays of people with dermatomyositis

A

calcinosis

36
Q

what cells mediate Dermatomyositis

A

CD4 T-cells

B cells

37
Q

what is seen in dermatomyositis due to microvascular attack

inflammation of perimysial connective tissue NOT muscle
telangiectasias in nail folds, eyelids, and gums
perifasicular atrophy- atrophy prominent at periphery of fascicles

38
Q

what is polymyositis

A

systemic inflammatory myopathy

cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in endomysium destroy muscle

39
Q

what is seen in polymyositis

A
