Genitourinary and lower gastrointestinal conditions in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1: A systematic review of evidence and implications for clinical practice

Isabelle Fisette-Paulhus et al.

Summary: This study reviewed the symptoms and signs associated with the genitourinary and lower gastrointestinal systems in patients with Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), and found a wide range of symptoms reported for both systems. However, most studies were of poor quality and lacked standardized questionnaires. The impact on quality of life and participation related to these conditions was insufficiently described, and treatment options were not adequately explored.

Zohreh Safipour et al.

Summary: This study found that the use of oral glucocorticoids in patients with myasthenia gravis did not increase the risk of major osteoporotic fractures based on both a case-control study and pooled analysis. Osteoporosis prevention in myasthenia gravis patients according to clinical guidelines is still recommended.
