Aesthetics of Symbolism and Semiotics in Afghan Cinema
Authors: Mohammadi Abbas
Published: October 2021

Symbols and symbols are two important semantic criteria in the aesthetics of cinema. Semiotics studies the production and presentation of meaning and concept in any work of art. By sending codes and symbols, the sign tries to express other meanings in the interpretive language other than its apparent meaning. Therefore, art that is mixed with the language of symbols and signs has very deep cultural and traditional meanings and concepts of that border and environment. To get the meaning of the image, we must have a complete and accurate knowledge of the language of symbols and signs. Symbols and symbols are widely used in movies and television all over the world. Also, in many films produced in Afghanistan, many signs and symbols have been used but not the symbols and signs that are used all over the world Rather, traditional cultural and traditional symbols have been used in Afghanistan. This was quite different in post-war films, especially in the post-Taliban era in Afghanistan. Throughout the history of Afghan cinema, Afghan cinematographers have never tried to address the origins of signs. Rather, they were content with a generalization of symbols and signs. One of the uses of symbols and signs is to create suspense in drama and storytelling. But Afghan filmmakers could not use symbols and signs to create suspense for their audience. This led to the failure of many films and filmmakers to use symbols and signs in Afghan cinema and caused to lose their internal and external audience. But in recent years, new and young filmmakers have entered the world of Afghan cinema in this field, they were able to make good use of symbols and signs and engage the minds of their audience with symbolism and semiotics. And convey the specific message of the film to them through symbols and signs.

Published: October 2021

The possibility of using methods for determining the oxidative status of an organism (enzymatic and non-enzymatic links of the cellular antioxidant system) to assess the antioxidant properties of peptides of the pituitary gland of the reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) were investigated in an experimental study conducted with a combined eﬀect of factors of diﬀerent nature on rats: a physical factor — prolonged light desynchronosis (diﬀerent light modes) and a chemical factor - acute severe poisoning with depriving toxicant (sodium thiopental, LD50). The pharmacological correction of the oxidative status of cells in the animals of the experimental subgroups was carried out with the peptide product of the pituitary gland, intranasally injecting the surviving rats with the bioproduct at a dose of 100 µg/kg, once in the ﬁrst half of the objective day for 14 days after poisoning with sodium thiopental. The surviving animals of the control groups were similarly injected with saline. The eﬀectiveness of the correction of the disruptions of the cellular oxidative status with the peptide product of the pituitary gland was tested 30 days after the onset of the combined eﬀect of stress factors on rats. It was found that the use of this bioactive peptide product in experimental animals exposed to diﬀerent light modes and a chemical factor contributed to a decrease in the initially increased indicators of lipid peroxidation in rat erythrocytes and an increase in the initially reduced indicators of the enzymatic link of antioxidant protection. The activity of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione transferase, as well as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase increased after pharmacological correction. The concentration of reduced glutathione also increased in erythrocytes. The maximum changes were observed in the experimental subgroup of rats exposed to the combined eﬀects of constant illumination and depriming toxicant. It was also found that the revealed positive changes in the indicators of the enzymatic link of antioxidant protection in animals of the experimental subgroups are associated with the maintenance of a suﬃcient concentration of reduced glutathione in red blood cells, which contributed to the maintenance of the cellular redox balance, when the conditions of the external lighting regime are violated.

The review presents materials describing the seaweed-derived sulfated polysaccharides (SPS) as potential means for prevention and treatment of viral diseases of the respiratory tract, mainly inﬂuenza and COVID-19. The literature materials on the pathogenetic targets of inﬂuenza viruses and SARS-CoV-2, on the antiviral potential of SPS derived from red, brown and green algae, as well as on the mechanisms of antiviral action of these unique compounds are summarized. Seaweed SPS are characterized by high antiviral activity, good solubility, and almost complete absence of toxicity. Pathogens of respiratory infections do not form resistance under the SPS inﬂuence. The abovementioned facts allow us to consider these compounds as promising candidates for the creation of medicines, dietary supplements, and functional food products with antiviral and, above all, anti-inﬂuenza and anti-coronavirus activity on their basis in the future.
Clinical Eﬃcacy of Ceftazidime-Avibactam in the Treatment of Infections Caused by Carbapenem–Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria
Authors: Yakovlev S. V.
Published: October 2021

The wide spread of carbapenemases among gram-negative bacteria of the Enterobacterales order in hospitals around the world, including Russia, creates great difficulties in the effective use of antibiotics for these infections in the ICU. Ceftazidime-avibactam is the first antibiotic developed and studied for the treatment of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant enterobacteria. Ceftazidime-avibactam shows high activity against producers of class A and D serine carbapenemases (KPC and OXA-48). In combination with aztreonam it is effective in infections caused by producers of class B metallo-beta-lactamases (NDM and VIM). The review analyzes the results of 19 non-comparative and 10 comparative studies of ceftazidime-avibactam in infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, as well as case reports. According to the data of non- comparative studies, the clinical efficacy of ceftazidime-avibactam ranged from 45.0 to 87.2%, on average 71.7±11.3%, and the eradication rate of KPC or OXA-48 carbapenemase producers ranged from 40.0 to 100%, on average 65.5±18.6%. The effectiveness of ceftazidime-avibactam in comparative studies was 67.9±17.3%, which was significantly higher compared to other antibiotics (44.3±14.4%,P=0.012). Treatment with ceftazidime-avibactam was accompanied by a significantly lower 30-day mortality in contrast to other antibiotics – 23.8±13.5% and 41.0±13.6%, respectively,P=0.001. The development of resistance in Enterobacterales species to ceftazidime-avibactam during therapy is rarely observed, on average 5.4±4.4%, which characterizes a rather low potential of the antibiotic in resistance selection. Early administration of ceftazidime-avibactam is accompanied by better treatment results as opposed to delayed therapy. Treatment of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant enterobacteria with ceftazidime-avibactam is associated with a significantly higher recovery rate and a lower mortality compared to other regimens of antibacterial therapy.

Authors: Litvinova M. A. , Muravyeva N. V. , Belov B. S.
Published: October 2021

Currently, the close attention of the medical and international community is still riveted on the novel coronavirus infection, which caused the pandemic in 2020. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) made it possible to move from the empirical selection of therapy, which was observed at the beginning of the pandemic, to the pathogenetically justiﬁed prescription of drugs, including glucocorticoids, anticoagulants, as well as some antirheumatic drugs. However, despite the huge amount of scientiﬁc and clinical material accumulated over 1.5 years, the interest in this problem does not wane both due to the existence of a number of unresolved issues, and due to the constant emergence of new (often contradictory) data.

Adjusting the length of supramolecular polymer bottlebrushes by top-down approaches
Authors: Klein Tobias , Gruschwitz Franka V , Kuchenbrod Maren T , Nischang Ivo , Hoeppener Stephanie , Brendel Johannes C
Published: October 2021

Controlling the length of one-dimensional (1D) polymer nanostructures remains a key challenge on the way toward the applications of these structures. Here, we demonstrate that top-down processing facilitates a straightforward adjustment of the length of polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based supramolecular polymer bottlebrushes (SPBs) in aqueous solutions. These cylindrical structures self-assemble via directional hydrogen bonds formed by benzenetrisurea (BTU) or benzenetrispeptide (BTP) motifs located within the hydrophobic core of the fiber. A slow transition from different organic solvents to water leads first to the formation of µm-long fibers, which can subsequently be fragmented by ultrasonication or dual asymmetric centrifugation. The latter allows for a better adjustment of applied shear stresses, and thus enables access to differently sized fragments depending on time and rotation rate. Extended sonication and scission analysis further allowed an estimation of tensile strengths of around 16 MPa for both the BTU and BTP systems. In combination with the high kinetic stability of these SPBs, the applied top-down methods represent an easily implementable technique toward 1D polymer nanostructures with an adjustable length in the range of interest for perspective biomedical applications.
MODELS, METHODS, AND MEANS OF REPRODUCTION OF EXPERT KNOWLEDGE IN INTELLIGENT SUPPORT SYSTEM BUILDING-TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
Authors: Terenchuk S. , Pasko R. , Panko O. , Zaprivoda V.
Published: October 2021

The paper is devoted to solving such a scientific and practical problem as the creation of computerized infocommunication systems for support building-technical expertise to determine the causes of destruction and deformation of buildings and structures. The analysis of the current state of expert activity within the framework of building-technical expertise is carried out. Perspective directions of the introduction of intelligent infocommunication systems in the course of performance of building-technical expertise and expert researches are outlined. The architecture of Intelligent Support System Building-Technical Expertise and the communication scheme of experts with the system are shown. To mapping expert knowledge formalized in the form of fuzzy associative rules to the memory card of the Cascade ARTMAP category fuzzy artificial neural network, it is proposed to use a fuzzy Mamdani-type inference system. The main input data, on the basis of which a fuzzy conclusion is realized to establish the degree of influence of various environmental factors on the technical condition of buildings and structures, are systematized and presented in a form acceptable for processing by computerized systems. At the same time, the main focus is on the study of facilities that are built and operated on subsidence loess soils. The process of formalization of heuristics, which is based on the formation of associations related to information on the position of signs of deterioration of the technical condition of the objects of expertise and the position of the changed soil, is described. Examples of interpretation and fuzzification of input information on soil properties, characteristics of the soil base of the object of building-technical expertise, and the surrounding area are given. The described approach provides an opportunity to reduce the risks of making wrong decisions by using the system as an intelligent database. The use of an artificial fuzzy neural network of the Cascade ARTMAP category gives the system the ability to form an expert conclusion on the degree of influence of various environmental factors on the technical condition of objects in the fuzzy conditions of a partially observed environment.

India’s use of CITES Appendix III
Authors: Heinrich Sarah , Gomez Lalita
Published: October 2021

India is one of the few countries to have made extensive use of Appendix III of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), compared to other Parties to the Convention. Here we examine India’s use of Appendix III and illustrate its benefits and limitations, using examples of species listed by India in Appendix III. Since its ratification of CITES in 1976, India has listed 39 taxa in Appendix III, 27 species and six subspecies listings of which are still current. Through the listings, important international trade data was gathered, some of which have supported the decision for application to a different CITES Appendix with stricter trade controls. However, the majority of the species have been listed for more than 30 years and a re-evaluation of their listing status and suitability for Appendix III may be warranted. The same applies to the reservations entered by several Parties. We provide recommendations on how to make some of the current listings more effective and encourage other Parties to evaluate their native, non-CITES listed species and, if warranted, to make use of Appendix III to contribute to the conservation of their native wildlife.

The world is today faced with the problem of plastic waste pollution more than ever before. Global plastic production continues to accelerate, despite the fact that recycling rates are comparatively low, with only about 15% of the 400 million tonnes of plastic currently produced annually being recycled. Although recycling rates have been steadily growing over the last 30 years, the rate of global plastic production far outweighs this, meaning that more and more plastic is ending up in dump sites, landfills and finally into the environment, where it damages the ecosystem. Better end-of-life options for plastic waste are needed to help support current recycling efforts and turn the tide on plastic waste. A promising emerging technology is plastic pyrolysis; a chemical process that breaks plastics down into their raw materials. Key products are liquid resembling crude oil, which can be burned as fuel and other feedstock which can be used for so many new chemical processes, enabling a closed-loop process. The experimental results on the pyrolysis of thermoplastic polymers are discussed in this review with emphasis on single and mixed waste plastics pyrolysis liquid fuel.
Pages d’histoire : le livre illustré dans le sillage du musée historique de Versailles
Authors: Renard Margot
Published: October 2021

Cet article interroge la réception et la diffusion par le livre illustré du projet du musée de l’Histoire de France de Versailles, ouvert en 1837. Il s’intéresse en particulier à deux types de publications d’esthétique romantique, parues après l’inauguration du musée : le catalogue illustré en treize volumes de Charles Gavard (soutenu par l’État) et le guide de voyage et de visite illustré d’Alexandre de Laborde. Ces deux ouvrages sont destinés à toutes les catégories sociales de la population française, et tentent de transcrire par le livre le message, le format et la matière du musée, dont le but est d’établir par l’image le récit national, vu par le roi Louis-Philippe. Les auteurs s’emparent du propos versaillais, dans des buts différents, mais tous deux pour livrer une réflexion intellectuelle et onirique parfois servie par une certaine fantaisie graphique.

Since its inception, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has attracted international attention. This striving initiative has been perceived as key to reforming China's economic strategy and enhancing global investment. The BRI's economic approach has seen immense infrastructure programme investment, which has entailed the development of new roads and railways and the connection of sea routes. The overall aim of this economic development plan is to foster connectivity and cooperation in the global world. This initiative has been frequently labelled the “21st century silk road,” which is formulated as a “belt” in terms of “overland corridors” and a “road” in terms of “shipping lanes.” Through a geopolitical lens, the authors of this chapter examine the interlocking economic matters of the BRI from a global perspective. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate that the BRI project is the next logical step in China's modernization project.

Published: October 2021

For an individual or a small organization, protecting and securing content could be a new and challenging task. The existing options do not completely fulfill the demands for today's content consumption and security while providing a good customer experience. The authors came across this problem of content security as a small group while building an application and tried to find a simple solution to secure content for playback on Android, so that the end users would be able to stream seamlessly and without any hindrance caused due to the enhanced security. They explore the way of securing video content through AES and using HLS to enable streaming of those video files over the internet. At the client's end, they have used Google's exoplayer to decrypt the data and play it directly after authentication and authorization. They performed a comparative analysis of the current models with the given model of securing content. Overall, with the aim to create an end-to-end module, they show how all the elements interact and work together as a system to provide protection against external threats.

Published: October 2021

Gamification has recently been discovered as an excellent user engagement strategy that has the potential to improve online education, online brand engagement, and information system engagement. Even though the number of studies on gamification has expanded, there is currently no systematic literature review approach for categorizing its online engagement strategies. Therefore, the main purpose of this systematic literature review is to find effective online engagement strategies based on gamification. The literature, as published in top management, information systems, and education journals, was reviewed using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and authors categorized the studies published during the period 2016 to 2021. This study can be considered as among the first to include a systematic literature review with a potential future research agenda on effective online engagement strategies through gamification. The findings indicate several effective online engagement strategies through gamification for three major aspects.

ABSTRACT. The bidentate oxoacetate derivative of 4-oxo-2-thiazolidine 4ligand (L1) synthesized by the reaction of 1-(1-(Pyridin-3-yl)ethylideneamino)-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one 3 with diethyl oxalate with both traditional and microwave irradiation methods. The metal ion complexes of mixed ligands L1 and L2 (acetonitrile) were prepared by condensation a solution mixture of Co(II) Ni(II), and Cu(ІІ) metal chloride salts with the ligands (L1 and L2) in distilled water with stirring. The complexes were characterized by the micro analysis (C, H, N), chloride content, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectra, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), molar conductivity as well as magnetic susceptibility measurement. According to the obtained data the suggested coordination geometries of these complexes were suggested as octahedral structure. All the synthesized complexes were found to be electrolyte due to the presence of chloride ions outside the coordination sphere. The antibacterial activity of the L1 ligand and their metal ion complexes have been studied by screening against various microorganisms, G+ bacteria (Bacillus subtillis, Streptococcus pneumonia, and Staphyloccoccus aurease), G-bacteria (E. coli, and Pesudomonas Sp.) and fungi (Aspergillus nigaer, and Penicillium Sp.). The metal ion complexes gave the formulae: [M(L1)(L2)2(H2O)2]Cl2where M = Co(II) Ni(II), and Cu(ІІ).

Este trabalho objetivou determinar métodos eficientes para superação de dormência em sementes de Dimorphandra mollis Benth. As sementes foram coletadas em árvores matrizes do município de Buriti, MA, Brasil e foram submetidas aos seguintes tratamentos: controle (T1); escarificação mecânica com lixa n° 60 (T2); escarificação química com soda cáustica a 98% por 15 min (T3); escarificação química com ácido sulfúrico 99,9% por 20 min (T4) e choque térmico com água (T5). Em casa de vegetação, foram dispostas 16 sementes por tratamento, divididas em quatro repetições, em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso. As avaliações foram iniciadas ao terceiro dia após o tratamento das sementes e estenderam-se por 17 dias após a semeadura. Avaliou-se o percentual de sementes emergidas e o índice de velocidade de emergência. Os tratamentos de escarificação mecânica com lixa (T2) e escarificação química com ácido sulfúrico (T4) foram eficientes para superar a impermeabilidade do tegumento nas sementes, sendo a escarificação mecânica o método mais seguro aos usuários para a superação da dormência das sementes.
New Horizons of Predictability in Complex Dynamical Systems: From Fundamental Physics to Climate and Society
Authors: Perdigão Rui A. P.
Published: October 2021

Discerning the dynamics of complex systems in a mathematically rigorous and physically consistent manner is as fascinating as intimidating of a challenge, stirring deeply and intrinsically with the most fundamental Physics, while at the same time percolating through the deepest meanders of quotidian life. The socio-natural coevolution in climate dynamics is an example of that, exhibiting a striking articulation between governing principles and free will, in a stochastic-dynamic resonance that goes way beyond a reductionist dichotomy between cosmos and chaos. Subjacent to the conceptual and operational interdisciplinarity of that challenge, lies the simple formal elegance of a lingua franca for communication with Nature. This emerges from the innermost mathematical core of the Physics of Coevolutionary Complex Systems, articulating the wealth of insights and flavours from frontier natural, social and technical sciences in a coherent, integrated manner. Communicating thus with Nature, we equip ourselves with formal tools to better appreciate and discern complexity, by deciphering a synergistic codex underlying its emergence and dynamics. Thereby opening new pathways to see the “invisible” and predict the “unpredictable” – including relative to emergent non-recurrent phenomena such as irreversible transformations and extreme geophysical events in a changing climate. Frontier advances will be shared pertaining a dynamic that translates not only the formal, aesthetical and functional beauty of the Physics of Coevolutionary Complex Systems, but also enables and capacitates the analysis, modelling and decision support in crucial matters for the environment and society. By taking our emerging Physics in an optic of operational empowerment, some of our pioneering advances will be addressed such as the intelligence system Earth System Dynamic Intelligence and the Meteoceanics QITES Constellation, at the interface between frontier non-linear dynamics and emerging quantum technologies, to take the pulse of our planet, including in the detection and early warning of extreme geophysical events from Space.

Organizational Reputation for Customers: Key Insights on Leveraging Reputation in Global Markets
Authors: Agarwal James , Osiyevskyy Oleksiy
Published: October 2021

Organizational reputation is a strategic asset leading to numerous firm-level benefits. Yet, the translation of favorable reputation into valuable organizational outcomes in global markets depends on whether national (vs. individual) culture is modeled. We provide a framework of customer-based ‘organizational reputation’ comprising three distinct reputational facets: product & service efficacy, market prominence, and societal ethicality, with organizational character forming a higher-order ‘halo effect’. Individual (vs. national) culture plays a significant moderating role in translating reputation into customer-specific outcomes and these insights have implications on how MNEs can form and leverage their reputation in global markets.
Antimaláricos na osteoartrite
Authors: Paula Luiz Eduardo de , Fuller Ricardo
Published: October 2021

Osteoartrite (OA) é a doença reumática mais comum da espécie humana. Aos 60 anos de idade, 10% da população tem OA sintomática. No Brasil, a prevalência da OA na população geral com idade média de 36 anos foi de 4,1%, atingindo 15,8% após os 55 anos de idade.
O tratamento farmacológico com medicamentos sintomáticos de ação lenta (antiartrósicos) já é amplamente prescrito, mas pesa sobre esse grupo o efeito pequeno e o custo relativamente alto para a manutenção por longos períodos de tempo. Já os modificadores de doença (alguns candidatos ao grupo já são utilizados como sintomáticos) ainda não tiveram eficiência comprovada. Desse modo, a busca por novas opções terapêuticas é intensa.
Atualização em reumatismo de partes moles
Authors: Pontes Filho Marco Antonio Gonçalves
Published: October 2021

A dor musculoesquelética é um dos principais motivos de atendimento em consultas ambulatoriais nos dias de hoje, tanto de clínicos, quanto de especialistas como reumatologistas, fisiatras e ortopedistas. Isso também se aplica para as consultas em ambientes hospitalares, como os pronto-socorros.
Quando um dos elementos do sistema musculoesquelético não funciona corretamente ou não se encontra íntegro, isso se reflete em dor e dificuldade (ou mesmo impedimento) de realizar os movimentos esperados, com perda de função para aquele segmento em avaliação. Portanto, um desempenho adequado de todos os componentes depende da integridade de seus elementos e da biomecânica adequada, para se ter um movimento pleno, indolor e harmonioso.
Os chamados “reumatismos de partes moles” ou “reumatismos extra-articulares” se referem a síndromes patológicas dolorosas não sistêmicas, as quais não envolvem as estruturas internas da articulação, mas sim qualquer tecido periarticular: músculo, tendão, ligamento, fáscia, aponeurose, retináculo, bursa, entese, cápsula articular, nervo e tecido subcutâneo (Figura 1).
O termo antigo “reumatismo” ainda é usado frequentemente para se referir a essas manifestações. Isso ocorre porque não existe, até o momento, uma classificação universalmente aceita para esse grupo de doenças muito diferentes, e que abrangem estruturas diversas.
Embora se refiram a qualquer sintoma “dor” de origem não articular, os pacientes normalmente atribuem suas queixas às articulações próximas. Por isso, o exame físico é extremamente importante para a diferenciação do local e origem real da dor. Também é crucial sempre considerar a possibilidade de dor referida no diagnóstico diferencial dessas entidades.
Vale a pena lembra que o diagnóstico sempre será clínico, onde raramente exames complementares (em particular, os de imagens) serão decisivos na condução do caso. A resposta ao tratamento costuma ser excelente na maioria esmagadora dos casos. Entretanto, para que isso ocorra, o diagnóstico preciso e precoce, além de uma boa reabilitação física, através da correção do problema anatômico e/ou biomecânico, precisam ser feitos.
Autoanticorpos em miopatias autoimunes
Authors: Souza Fernando Henrique Carlos de
Published: October 2021

As miopatias autoimunes (MA) são doenças musculares raras que afetam crianças e adultos. São marcadas por características distintas, podendo-se identificar fraqueza muscular, alterações cutâneas, associação com malignidade e/ou envolvimento de órgãos internos.
Acredita-se que a autoimunidade tenha um papel importante na patogênese, sendo os autoanticorpos identificados em mais de 50% dos pacientes com MA.
Eles são dirigidos tanto contra componentes nucleares como citoplasmáticos da célula, sendo divididos em dois subconjuntos: autoanticorpos associados e autoanticorpos específicos às miosites, como demonstrado na Tabela 1.
Têm-se correlacionado com manifestações clínicas específicas, ajudando no diagnóstico e auxiliando a classificar os pacientes em grupos mais homogêneos. Podem, portanto, auxiliar na predição de complicações clínicas adicionais e na resposta ao tratamento.
Nesta revisão, destacamos os principais autoanticorpos em pacientes com miosite.
Tratamento medicamentoso em miopatias autoimunes sistêmicas
Authors: Miossi Renata
Published: October 2021

Devido à raridade e heterogeneidade das miopatias autoimunes sistêmicas, há escassez de estudos robustos para definição de seu melhor tratamento. Assim sendo, o tratamento é basicamente guiado por estudos abertos ou retrospectivos, séries e relatos de caso. Em contrapartida, atualmente, há grande esforço para reverter essa situação, com a criação de critérios para a definição de resposta, subclassificações das doenças e estudos multicêntricos internacionais.
Instrumento diagnóstico em miopatias: eletroneuromiografia
Authors: Vasconcelos José Tupinambá Sousa
Published: October 2021

Apesar das informações valiosas da biópsia muscular, dos avanços da genética molecular e da descrição de autoanticorpos específicos nas miopatias, a eletroneuromiografia (ENMG), especialmente a eletromiografia com eletrodo de agulha (EMG), continua a ter um importante papel na investigação de pacientes com suspeita de doenças musculares. A utilidade da ENMG nesse cenário repousa em sua alta sensibilidade e especificidade para o diagnóstico de miopatia e em sua habilidade de excluir outras causas de fraqueza muscular, tais como neuropatias motoras, doenças da junção neuromuscular e doenças do neurônio motor. Assim, a ENMG é útil para confirmar a doença muscular, excluir diagnósticos diferenciais alternativos e estreitar as possibilidades diagnósticas de uma miopatia específica, incluindo as miopatias inflamatórias.
