November 2025 Recall: Topics on Muscle and Neuromuscular Diseases

The November 2025 Recall revisits four insightful episodes centered on muscle and neuromuscular diseases. Kicking off the episode is a two-part series on myositis, where Dr. Stacey Clardy speaks with Dr. Andrew Mammen. The episode continues with an interview featuring Dr. Eric Voorn, who discusses the effectiveness of combining personalized, home-based aerobic exercise with coaching to improve physical fitness in individuals with neuromuscular diseases. The episode wraps up with Dr. Elia Sechi discussing the critical role of interpreting lab test results, understanding assay performance, and recognizing the real-world impact of false positives in myasthenia gravis diagnostics.
