CASE REPORT: IMMUNE MEDIATED NECROTIZING MYOPATHY WITH IGG ANTIBODIES TO 3-HYDROXY-3-METHYLGLUTARYL-COENZYME A REDUCTASE (HMGCR) MAY PRESENT WITH ACUTE SYSTOLIC HEART FAILURE

Involvement of cardiac muscle is felt to be very uncommon in anti-HMGCR myopathy, and therefore early cardiac evaluation is not considered a high priority for this condition.We herein present the case of a 72 year-old woman admitted due to dyspnea and orthopnea, who, in retrospect, suffered from proximal more than distal muscle weakness for 3 month

A range of soft robotic systems have recently been developed that use soft, flexible materials and respond to environmental stimulus.The greatest challenge in their design is the integration of the actuator, energy sources, and body pedal plate of robots while achieving fast locomotion and well-defined programmable trajectories.This work presents s

Across Latin America, mestizo nationalism became a common response to postcolonial independence, revolt, SHEARS and revolution in the twentieth century.These different mixed-race nationalisms have been the subject of continuous debate in Latin American studies.The field of Asian American studies offers a different approach that highlights the polit

Abstract Background Animal and human studies suggest that inflammation and malnutrition are common in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients.However, only a few studies reported CRP, a marker of inflammation, albumin, prealbumin and cholesterol, markers of nutritional status were associated with the prognosis of AKI patients.No study examined whether t
