Q

what are some general characteristics of idiopathic autoimmune myopathies?

A
  • typically myopathy in proximal muscles, usually symmetrically
  • weakness progresses faster than in muscular dystrophy, rarely occurs acutely
  • severe cases associated with muscle wasting
  • all treated with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants

25
what is the opposite of core myopathy?
brody syndrome
26
what is brody's syndrome
progressive muscle stiffness and pain during exercise
27
what disease happens in type 2 muscle and is an issue with SERCA pumping Ca+ back into the SR?
brody's syndrome
28
do malignant hyperthermia, hypo/hyperkalaemic paralysis and myotonia cause change in muscle mass?
no because they are all channelopathies
29
what disease is characterized by an issue with Cl conductance and issues repolarizing the cell.
myotonia congenita
30
what are two types of myotonia congenita
- thomsen disease - becker disease
31
is becker or thomsen disease more severe?
becker
32
what do people with thomsen disease struggle with?
- falls, grasping objects, chewing - muscle size and strength
33
what do people with becker disease primarily struggle with?
- gait issues and unprotected falls
34
thomsen and becker diseases are due to _____ conductance problems
Cl-
35
what is the most common myopathy?
alcoholic myopathy
36
T or F: alcohol influences multiple aspects of both the anabolic and catabolic arms of the pathway
T
37
T or F: cirrhosis of the liver is more common than myopathy in alcoholics
F, myopathy is more common
38
what are the two forms of alcoholic myopathy?
chronic and acute
39
is chronic or acute alcohol myopathy characterized by being painless, mild proximal weakness and affects pelvic more than shoulder girdle musculature
chronic
40
is acute or chronic alcohol myopathy characterized pain, muscle swelling, false DVT positive, compartment syndrome, rhabdomyolysis and usually affects 1-2 muscles
acute
41
what are some pathogenic mechanisms leading to alcohol-induced muscle damage
- carbs, protein, and energy metabolism - oxidative balance - gene dysregulation - cell turnover - signal transduction - apoptosis
42
increased alcohol abuse = ________ strength
decrease
43
how does alcohol abuse affect muscle synthesis
decreases it
44
does strength improve with abstinence and low-dose controlled consumption
yes
45
does alcohol abstinence restore protein synthesis?
yes
46
is there increased skeletal muscle apoptosis in alcoholics?
yes, TUNEL assay proves that
47
is skeletal muscle apoptosis between chronic alcoholics with and without myopathy similar?
no those with myopathy have much larger rates of apoptosis
48
how is the degree of alcoholic myopathy rates
mild, moderate, sever
49
are men and women equally affected by alcoholic myopathy
no, men affected more than women
50
what exacerbates alcoholic myopathy
critical illness hospitalization infections (HIV) malnutrition inactivity
51
what mitigates alcoholic myopathy
- exercise - myostatin inhibitors - good nutrition
52
what are the 3 types of ehlers-danlos syndrome we need to remember
hypermobility classical vascular
53
hypermobility EDS is characterized by:
extreme flexibility
54
classical type EDS affects what type of collagen
V and 1
55
skin hyperextensibility, widened atrophic scars, and joint hypermobility are characteristics of what type of EDS
classical type
56
what type of collagen is affected in vascular EDS
3
57
most serious form, arterial/organ/tendon/muscle rupture, digit joint hypermobility are characteristics of what type of EDS?
vascular
58
what are two types of carb metabolism myopathy we are concerned with
McArdle disease Tauri disease
59
what is affected in McArdle disease? why is that bad?
myophosphorylase body can't break glycogen down into glucose in the muscles
60
what is affected in Tarui disease and why is that bad?
phosphofructokinase (PFK) enzyme deficiency that's bad because this enzyme is needed in glycolysis. if we don't have it your body can't use glucose as fuel
61
T or F: lipid storage diseases can happen anywhere
T
