Skeletal Muscle and Peripheral Nerve Pathology II Flashcards
botulism
clostridium botulinum neurotoxin
-blocks release of ACh from presynaptic neurons
canned food
botulism
double vision, blurry vision, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, muscle weakness (shoulders to body)
botulism
type I muscle fibers
aerobic
high lipid
oxidative
one slow fat red ox
type 1 muscle fiber slow - aerobic exercise high lipid red colored - high myoglobin oxidative
ATPase at differnt pH levels
shows type 1 or type 2 fibers - in checkerboard pattern
perifascicular atrophy
dermatomyositis
corticosteroid use
type 2 fiber atrophy and sparing of type 1 fibers
reinnervation
switch in fiber type
increase in motor unit size - more myofibers innervated by individual axon
type grouping
of muscle fibers
-with ongoing denervation and reinnervation
loss of checkerboard
skeletal m disorder
either myopathy or neurogenic issue
neurogenic injury
fiber type grouping and grouped atrophy**
creatine kinase
released with segmental myofiber degeneration
exercise
myofiber hypertrophy
cytoplasmic inclusions
seen in several primary forms of myopathy
three primary inflammatory myopathies
polymyositis
dermatomyositis
inclusion body myositis
lymphocytes in atrophic muscle fibers
inflammatory myopathy
dermatomyositis
systemic autoimmune disease
proximal muscle weakness and skin changes
swollen hands and lesions on knuckles
dermatomyositis autoAbs
anti-M2 - gottron papule and heliotrope rash (around eyes)
anti-Jo1 - lung disease, nonerosive arthritis, mechanic hand rash
anti-P155/P140 - paraneoplastic anc juvenile
gottron papules and heliotrope rash
dermatomyositis hand lesions
-with anti-Mi2
interstitial lung disease, nonerosive arthritis, mechanic hand rash
dermatomyositis
-with anti-Jo1 - worse prognosis
paraneoplastic and juvenile dermatomyositis
anti-P155/P140
perifascicular atrophy
dermatomyositis
proximal muscle weakness, myalgias, elevation in serum creatine kinase, heliotrope rash, gottron papules, dysphagia
dermatomyositis
heliotrope rash
around eyes
-with dermatomyositis
association with dermatomyositis
interstitial lung disease
rapidly progressive and can lead to death
also - cardiac involvement
polymyositis
like dermatomyositis - but no skin lesions
has myalgia and weakness
inflammation in muscles
endomysial mononuclear inflammatory cells in muscles
polymyositis
age of dermatomyositis and polymyositis
30-40yo
