EXAMINATION OF A MYOPATHY BY PHOSPHORUS NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE

Abstract

A 16-year-old boy with myopathy, ophthalmoplegia, and raised basal metabolic rate was examined by the non-invasive technique of phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (31 P NMR). The muscles of the forearm showed an abnormal 31P NMR spectrum with a high inorganic phosphate (Pi) content in relation to phosphocreatine (PCr) (PCr/Pi = 4; control = 10). This finding was compatible with the abnormality of mitochondrial function already established by biopsy and offers in addition an explanation for the raised oxygen consumption in this patient. The method of 31P NMR is suited to rapid non-invasive diagnosis in various muscle disorders.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Frank mitochondrial dysfunction in humans (e.g., myopathies with impaired electron transport chain activity) is accompanied by increased fuel oxidation to compensate for impaired mitochondrial ATP synthesis.

    “For instance, frank mitochondrial dysfunction in humans (e.g., myopathies with impaired electron transport chain activity) is accompanied by increased fuel oxidation to compensate for the impaired mitochondrial ATP synthesis ([13](#r13)).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
