Lidia Ravera"Bagna i fiori e aspettami"Bompiani Editorewww.bompiani.itGiò è una ragazza irrequieta, che risponde al centralino in una tivù privata e sogna una vita d'avventura. Ha tre sorelle: Margherita, che sogna l'amore e fa la segretaria in una scuola elementare. Elisabetta, cagionevole e spirituale. Amelia, frivola e innamorata della sua bellezza. Vi ricordano qualcosa, o qualcuno? Sono quattro piccole donne alle prese con gli anni ottanta del secolo scorso. Hanno avuto in sorte una madre avvenente e svagata oltre a un padre fantasma, svanito quando Giò aveva due anni. Se la sono cavata benissimo anche senza di lui, a dire il vero, ma quando, dentro una busta piena di denaro, arriva un suo imprevisto messaggio con la richiesta di un appuntamento a Barcellona, è Giò a partire, attratta dal desiderio di conoscere quel personaggio che nella sua vita non c'è mai stato ma ha monopolizzato il suo immaginario. Arrivata a Barcellona, e da lì in poi, Giò avrà tutta l'avventura che vuole: niente papà, ma in compenso un affascinante bugiardo in limousine di cui innamorarsi e un itinerario che la porterà a Marsiglia, New York, Londra e Lusaka, fra trafficanti d'arte e di pietre preziose, seguendo scie di debiti e svelando vecchi segreti. In questo romanzo, il quarto scritto da Lidia Ravera, uscito per la prima volta nel 1986, non esistono i telefonini né i social e la moneta italiana è ancora la lira. Ma il ritmo serrato e tagliente, l'ironia, il calore della prima persona, il divertimento sono tutti lì, nello stile inconfondibile di un'autrice molto amata e nelle vicende che conducono la protagonista a inseguire con tenacia la pista degli affetti.Lidia Ravera è nata a Torino. Giornalista e scrittrice, ha raggiunto la notorietà nel 1976 con il suo romanzo d'esordio Porci con le ali, longseller con tre milioni di copie vendute (oggi nei Tascabili Bompiani, anche in versione graphic novel). Ha scritto trenta opere di narrativa. Gli ultimi romanzi, Piangi pure, Gli scaduti, Il terzo tempo, L'amore che dura, Avanti, parla e Un giorno tutto questo sarà tuo (2024) sono nel catalogo Bompiani, come la novella autobiografica Tempo con bambina e il racconto La somma di due. Del 2023 è il saggio Age Pride (Einaudi). Ha lavorato per il cinema, il teatro e la televisione.Lidia Ravera"Age Pride"Einaudi Editorewww.einaudi.it«La vita finisce quando tutto si ferma. Come atlete dobbiamo muoverci con lei, imparare il suo passo, accelerare e rallentare a comando, fletterci e poi spiccare il balzo necessario a non essere disarcionate. Bisogna restare agili. Non giovani, agili. Flessibili. Bisogna imparare a muoversi a tempo con il Tempo. Senza ostinarsi nell'imitazione di modelli scaduti. Ma senza nascondersi.

What if healing, transformation, and inner awakening could be symbolized through something as delicate—and powerful—as a crystal lotus? In this captivating and spiritually rich episode, Margherita Vondrak explores The Crystal Lotus, a journey into symbolism, consciousness, and personal evolution. Drawing from spiritual philosophy and reflective insight, Margherita discusses the meaning of the lotus as a symbol of growth, resilience, and awakening—rising through darkness toward light. Combined with the imagery of crystal energy and clarity, she explores how these metaphors can inspire deeper self-awareness and emotional balance. This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own path of transformation. How do symbols influence the way we understand ourselves and the world? What role do intention, awareness, and inner healing play in personal growth? And how can spiritual practices encourage greater harmony and clarity in everyday life? Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation that blends beauty, symbolism, and self-discovery—where the crystal lotus becomes a reminder that growth and enlightenment often emerge from life's deepest challenges.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

But what begins as a peaceful Saturday of creativity quickly spirals into a chaotic—and very colourful—mess, thanks to one dramatic cat sneeze and a toppled easel. As Libby grapples with frustration and a “ruined” painting, she discovers that sometimes, the best art isn't perfect—it's shared. ✔️ Perfect for ages 5+ Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

Non è chiaro quando ci saranno le elezioni politiche. A scadenza naturale o verrano anticipate? E se verranno anticipate, di quanto?  Nell'attesa, il centro sinistra sta cercando di riorganizzare il proprio campo, il Campo Largo. L'impressione è che nel Pd stia trovando largo consenso l'idea di chi vorrebbe dare vita a una sorta di nuova Margherita da accompagnare al percorso progressista.  Secondo questo schema, peraltro, il Pd ricorderebbe i vecchi Ds. 

Viola Veloce"Il talento di Margherita"Feltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itMargherita Fiori ha sessant'anni e agli altri è sempre sembrata una donna senza qualità. Impiegata al tribunale, immersa nei suoi appunti costellati di piccoli schemi, per anni ha continuato a essere dipinta come la definivano a scuola: stramba, distratta, poco portata. Solo più tardi ha dato un nome a quelle etichette: dislessia. Un ostacolo, ma anche un modo diverso di leggere il mondo. Margherita non segue le righe, le attraversa, e facendolo vede crepe dove chiunque vedrebbe muri, sente le stonature nelle versioni troppo perfette. Poi c'è il desiderio di una nuova vita, che ritorna quando meno te lo aspetti. Tra una chat e un appuntamento al buio, Margherita riscopre il corpo, il gioco, la libertà di scegliere. Ogni incontro è un piccolo azzardo, ogni carezza una dichiarazione. Non è mai troppo tardi per sentirsi viva. Ma è in questo tempo nuovo che riaffiora il passato, nella figura del magistrato Pietro Pecorari. Grande amore della giovinezza, con lui Margherita ha condiviso il letto e molti casi, aiutandolo a risolverne la maggior parte grazie al suo insospettabile talento. Poi la storia finisce, ma, dopo venticinque anni, Pecorari le chiede una mano per venire a capo della misteriosa morte di un professore universitario. Sembrerebbe trattarsi di un suicidio, eppure troppe cose non tornano. A partire dalle equivoche frequentazioni del professore.Il talento di Margherita è un romanzo arguto e irriverente in cui la trama gialla diventa un manifesto gioioso sulla seconda età, sul diritto al piacere e sulla forza di uno sguardo fuori dalla norma. Viola Veloce mette in scena una protagonista antitradizionale, una donna che vede ciò che sfugge agli altri, e che proprio per questo riesce a scovare, tra le crepe delle storie e delle persone, la verità più scomoda e al tempo stesso più sincera.Viola Veloce è lo pseudonimo di un'impiegata dislessica con la passione per la scrittura. Ha conquistato il pubblico in rete con la serie “Omicidi”, quattro gialli ironici ambientati in ufficio, in condominio, a scuola e in parrocchia. Con la sua dark comedy ha trasformato la routine in un teatro degli equivoci a colpi di crimini e humor nero.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

 Acknowledgement of Country// Save Cohealth Rally speeches, Sunday 26th April, Collingwood Cohealth. The rally demands that Labor release the independent review findings that they have had for almost two months, announce a rescue package to save more that 12,500 people who are going to lose access to critical health services and flood emergency departments. We hear from patients, families, cohealth workers, Yarra City coucillors, union delegates, on why this can not happen. This intersects with demolition of public housing, proposed cuts to the NDIS, the cost of living crisis where emergency departments are reporting a resurgence of presentations of scurvy (severe, prolonged vitamin & nutrient deficiency). Cohealth still plans to close its Collingwood, Fitzroy, and Kensington services in July. Follow the campaign via instagram.com/socialistsinhealthcare/ //We are joined by Asylum Seeker Resource Centre deputy CEO Jana Favero to discuss the coalition's widely criticised and overtly racist immigration plan. Announced on the 14th of this month, the proposed immigration policy employs sensationalist language and baseless fear mongering to reinforce white nationalist values within so-called Australia's already prejudicial immigration processes. Jana Favero has worked at the ASRC for 14 years, currently serving as the Head of Systemic Change and leading ASRC's political engagement as a trusted expert on asylum and refugee policy.//Noel Lim, CEO of Anika Legal, speaks with us about the release this week of a new report commissioned by Better Renting, Anika Legal and the Consumer Policy Research Centre which highlights perceptions of rental housing stability and needs for reform in Australia. The report, Essential Homes: Why renting is an essential service, argues that governments should treat renting as an essential service, and includes recommendations to strengthen rules around affordability, stability and housing quality. Anika Legal is a free, online legal service providing support to Victorian renters.//We replay a segment of 3CR's Radio FILEF program's International Women's Day special, featuring a round-table discussion between FILEF members Hanna, Margherita, Renata and Lorella.

Nella mattinata di martedì 14 aprile, in Degiornalist - Gli Spaccanotizie, è passata a trovarci nei nostri studi di Milano Ditonellapiaga! Margherita - questo il nome dell'artista all'anagrafe - ha appena pubblicato il nuovo album Miss Italia, che, dopo un'accesa questione legale, potrà mantenere il proprio titolo: «Il tribunale ha decretato questo, che ovviamente ha a che fare con la mia libertà di espressione, è una mia opera artistica con un nome che poi, ormai, fa parte dell'immaginario collettivo» ha raccontato l'artista romana. Infatti, come lei stessa ha ribadito - nel corso della conversazione con i nostri Fabiana e Claudio Chiari - Miss Italia è un «elogio dell'imperfezione». Il disco, infatti, usa la metafora di Miss Italia per esplorare il concetto di perfezione, contrapponendolo al vissuto personale dell'artista fatto di fragilità e fallimenti.

Ep. 133: Dice che «non siamo Dio» e che non dobbiamo assolvere nessuno: a volte «è meglio chiudere porte per sempre». In questa intervista con Malcom Pagani, Raffaele Riefoli, in arte Raf, racconta il peso dei compromessi, delle scelte fatte «quasi per inerzia» e della fatica di imparare a «discernere». Ripercorre il legame con Pino Daniele, «il primo» tra gli italiani, fragile e pieno di contraddizioni; gli incontri con Umberto Tozzi e Franco Califano e un giovane Stefano Bollani, «timido» e già «un fenomeno». Parla del rapporto con il pubblico e dei concerti, dove «ti diverti da matti», e del ritorno al Festival di Sanremo, vissuto senza pensare alle classifiche: «vada come vada», anche se lì «ti scannerizzano in ogni millimetro». Infine spiega la speranza che nelle sue canzoni ci sia «grande verità» e «trasporto», e lo stupore, ancora vivo, per un viaggio iniziato «in autostop da Margherita di Savoia.

Onelia Fineschi (1921 – 2004) was one of the finest Italian lyric sopranos of her era. Probably most famous today for having provided the singing voice of Gina Lollobrigida in a 1948 filmed version of Pagliacci, she had a wide-ranging repertoire and an up-and-down career trajectory that lasted, however, nearly 25 years. Initially I became interested in Fineschi because one of my listeners gifted me with a visually arresting Cetra LP of her 1947 recordings of various opera arias, which, upon listening, revealed an equally arresting and technically solid voice with a characteristically Italian timbre. But the more I explored what little I could about her, several issues that emerged seemed particularly relevant to Women's History Month. For instance, many 20th century female singers had truncated careers or complicated personal lives because of the demands that their voices made upon their lives. I uncovered some ambiguous comments regarding Fineschi's marriage to the tenor Francesco Albanese (1912 – 2005), that seemed to imply that this may have been the case with her. Furthermore, much of the standard repertoire that she sang bears out the contention of French philosopher, scholar and author Catherine Clément that opera enacts “the undoing of women.” Nearly every excerpt I play explores this theme, from the “slutty” Nedda in Pagliacci (who, we are led to believe, as a free spirit, gets what she deserves) to Tosca, Manon, Mimì, Margherita in Mefistofele, Desdemona, Leonora de Vargas, Maddalena di Coigny, and Cio-Cio-San, all of them expiring, sometimes gently, sometimes violently to the most glorious music. So apart from simply resuscitating a fine lyric soprano, this episode at least scratches the surface on the topic of women in opera from a feminist vantage point, centering around the problems of inherent misogyny and sexual abuse of women that is practically baked into the business itself. Featured voices alongside Fineschi's include Tito Gobbi, Mario del Monaco, Giuseppe di Stefano, and Mr. Fineschi himself, Francesco Albanese. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists. The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly or yearly support at whatever level you can afford.

It is spring, and Libby is excited about her long weekend. She has plans to spend some time reading, listening to music, and hanging out with her friends. Libby has made something in art class for Margherita, but when she shows her what it is, Margherita doesn't like it as much as Libby does. ✔️ Perfect for ages 4+ Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

Stasera si concluderà il Festival di Sanremo, il grande spettacolo musicale che ogni febbraio da 76 anni la tv nazionale Rai manda in onda in diretta dall'omonima città della Liguria. In questa puntata parleremo anche di un conflitto scoppiato tra Pakistan e Afghanistan: un conflitto che sembra nuovo e che invece ha una lunga storia. Parleremo dell'addio ai monopattini elettrici in affitto da parte di Firenze e dell'invito del ministro dell'Istruzione agli studenti di pulire e rassettare le aule. Infine la storia di Margherita, una mucca libera

Anna Voltaggio"La santa degli altri"Neri Pozzawww.neripozza.itNella sua vita succede sempre tutto in primavera. Così Nica scompare in un giorno di maggio, recidendo il legame con Tommaso senza una spiegazione, solo un biglietto succinto nel posto che era stato del loro amore. Di quella donna laconica e fragile, volubile e altera, della sua indifferenza lieve per le cose del mondo, della passione tutta nuova che gli aveva rovesciato addosso, del suo essere carne viva e insieme puro spirito a Tommaso non restano che un pugno di ricordi e il rimpianto di non essersi mai pensato con lei nel futuro. La cerca dappertutto, percorrendo come un sonnambulo le strade di una Palermo bollente e torpida che pare non volergliela restituire, perché trovarla significa ritrovare la parte più viva di sé stesso che il desiderio di lei gli ha mostrato. La sua storia corre parallela a quella di Gelsomina e di sua figlia Margherita, arrivata come un dono grazie al voto fatto alla santa degli impossibili, santa Rita. Una donna e una bambina che vivono i loro giorni in esilio dalla famiglia, in una casetta dove il tempo non esiste e il mare si beve ogni cosa, fino a quando irrompe la vita vera. È da quel legame, velo che abbraccia e giogo che stritola, che si dipana una storia di fughe e ritorni, di verità taciute e conquistate libertà. In questo romanzo potente e ipnotico, Anna Voltaggio osa prescindere dal materialismo dei nostri giorni, facendo spazio alla dimensione sacra anche delle esistenze più laiche, con le colpe di cui tutti ci macchiamo e il perdono che solo noi possiamo darci.Quel pomeriggio, nel giro di pochi minuti Margherita rifiuta il sacrificio e tradisce. Sua madre, il mare, la Santa, il dolore da cui è nata insieme alla speranza che non muore mai, promessa che non salva nessuno ma che tiene in vita.Anna Voltaggio è nata a Palermo. Vive a Roma e lavora nel settore culturale. Ha esordito con La nostalgia che avremo di noi, pubblicato da Neri Pozza nel 2023. Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Margherita Pelaja"Le donne di piazza del fico"Edizioni Piemmewww.edizpiemme.itRoma, 1864. Luisa Stecca aiuta le donne dei rioni in una città ancora governata dal potere papale, tra vicoli polverosi, conventi, botteghe e un'umanità che sopravvive come può. Assiste gravidanze spesso clandestine e accoglie ragazze e madri di famiglia a casa sua, in piazza del Fico. Tra queste donne c'è Angela Carbone. Nata da una famiglia sfortunata, è una ragazza decisa a uscire dalla povertà che la soffoca. Con l'aiuto della sorella, Gertrude, e di una non convinta Luisa, ordisce un inganno perfetto: finge una gravidanza per legarsi al ricco cavaliere Armando Bachino, e quando nasce il figlio di Amalia, una giovane abbandonata a sé stessa, lo fa passare come suo. Ma la verità è una forza che scava e chiede di essere ascoltata. Attorno al piccolo Armando si creano tensioni, affetti, recriminazioni: la madre naturale lo rivuole, la madre adottiva lo difende, il cavaliere si scopre tradito ma incapace di rinunciare a quel bambino. E mentre Roma si avvicina alla caduta del potere temporale del Papa, anche le illusioni di Angela iniziano a sgretolarsi. Tra confessioni, rivelazioni e un vero processo, si dipana una storia di donne ferite ma ostinate, di maternità negate e inventate. Attraverso la combinazione brillante di avvenimenti realmente accaduti e documentati negli archivi ecclesiastici, Margherita Pelaja pone domande attuali sul significato di parole come famiglia, amore, appartenenza. Le donne di piazza del Fico racconta un passato lontano e riesce nel miracolo di costruire una voce urgente, elegante e attuale.Margherita PelajaHa svolto ricerche negli ambiti della storia delle donne e della storia della sessualità, pubblicando numerosi saggi e monografie. È stata fra le fondatrici di Memoria. Rivista di storia delle donne e della Società Italiana delle Storiche.

Vodafone's chief executive, Margherita Della Valle, highlights the growing risks to Europe's submarine cables, and calls for international cooperation to ensure the security and resilience of digital infrastructure. Addressing the recent threats posed by Russia, she calls for cross-border collaboration, and the implications for national and European security. Discussing the impact of the merger with Three, Della Valle examines the UK's persistent “not spots”—areas with little or no mobile coverage—and the company's commitment to eliminating these gaps through an £11billion pound investment. Della Valle also notes that Vodafone is set to launch a rival to Elon Musk's Starlink in 2026, providing total broadband coverage to the UK via satellite to standard mobile phones. Launching this first in the UK, she says you will even be able to get the internet at sea and in the most remote parts of the UK.The demands of artificial intelligence on telecoms infrastructure are also addressed, with Della Valle acknowledging that while progress has been made, the UK's mobile networks are not yet fully prepared to support the scale and speed required for widespread AI adoption.The interview also addresses the reduction in the number of female chief executives in the FTSE 100, and the ongoing challenges faced by women in senior roles, with 00:00 Sean Farrington and Will Bain introduce BBI 02:04 Start of Interview with Margherita & early days at Vodafone 07:56 Impact of the UK merger with Three 09:29 Eliminating Not Spots in the UK 11:12 Satellite Technology & competition to Elon Musk's Starlink 19:00 Infrastructure for mobile use of AI is not there yet. 26 - Female FTSE CEOs 34 - the need to work closer with Europe on sea-cable/telecoms security co-operationPresenter: Will Bain Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones

Margherita, 26 anni, cresce a Cutrofiano in una famiglia dove i soldi “non mancano” ma si nominano a bassa voce. Dal padre, ingegnere informatico salito per gradi dalle radici contadine, eredita una bussola severa: ogni spesa è una responsabilità. «Per molti spendere è libertà o espressione. Io invece—anche da bambina—ci pensavo mille volte prima di farlo». Studia Economia a Ferrara, si laurea con il massimo dei voti, poi la magistrale in Marketing a Torino: sempre in pari, mai un “colpo a vuoto”. In testa, un obiettivo chiaro: far sì che le spese sostenute dai genitori durino il meno possibile.Poi, finita l'università, la promessa del merito si sgonfia. «Avevo già dato tutto nello studio. Ero pronta a mostrare ciò che avevo imparato e a diventare indipendente. Ma non è stato così semplice». Torna in Puglia, torna in famiglia, torna l'ansia di “pesare”. I dati lo confermano: a due anni dal titolo, la disoccupazione tra i neolaureati resta intorno al 9–11%. «Non si parla abbastanza di quanto sia difficile il passaggio dall'università al lavoro», dice. Dopo centinaia di candidature, trova un posto nel marketing: prima stage da 700 euro al mese, poi apprendistato triennale da 1.200. I conti tornano perché vive a Gallipoli in una casa dei genitori, ma il lavoro non è quello che immaginava: «Mi sentivo regredita sotto ogni punto di vista… Non era la carriera da film che avevo pensato».L'overqualification logora fiducia e portafogli. Finché il padre le suggerisce ciò che lei non avrebbe osato: un master. Margherita fa i conti e capisce che con i risparmi dei primi due anni può coprire l'affitto a Roma, mentre per la retta ricorre a un prestito d'onore.È l'ennesima spesa “per studiare”, ma anche un tentativo di riallineare desideri e realtà, paura e ambizione. «Mi sento in colpa, ma sapere che i miei non stanno sacrificando nulla mi alleggerisce. Se dovesse andare male, ho tutta la vita per poter recuperare i soldi spesi». La sua storia parla di una generazione che paga—in tempo e denaro—il pedaggio tra laurea e lavoro. Dove l'educazione all'autonomia è anche imparare quando investire ancora su di sé.

Libby comes home with a project to do and is very excited to get started. She tells Margherita all about it, then puts on her headphones and gets to work. Mom is surprised when she comes into her room to see what she is doing. Libby can't hear her mom until she taps her on the shoulder, and then they chat about her project. After dinner, Libby wants to get back up to her room to finish up, but when she gets there, a surprise awaits her. ✔️ Perfect for ages 4+ Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

When Libby and her mom carve jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween, Margherita the pizza-loving cat seems unusually interested in their pumpkin seeds. The next morning, pumpkins all over the neighbourhood have been mysteriously ransacked, and the evidence points to an unlikely culprit. Now Libby has to figure out what happened, apologize to the neighbors, and make things right. ✔️ Perfect for ages 4+ ✔️ Themes: Problem-solving • Taking responsibility • Community kindness • Pets and their quirks • Halloween fun  Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

While genetic testing has replaced muscle biopsy in the diagnosis of many genetic myopathies, clinical assessment and the integration of clinical and laboratory findings remain key elements for the diagnosis and treatment of muscle diseases. In this episode, Casey Albin, MD, speaks with Margherita Milone, MD, PhD, FAAN, FANA, author of the article “A Pattern Recognition Approach to Myopathy” in the Continuum® October 2025 Muscle and Neuromuscular Junction Disorders issue.

Dr Albin: Hello, this is Dr Casey Albin. Today I'm interviewing Dr Margherita Milone on her article on a pattern recognition approach to myopathy, which appears in the October 2025 Continuum issue on muscle and neuromuscular junction disorders. Welcome to the podcast, Dr Milone. Thank you so much for joining us. I'll start off by having you introduce yourself to our listeners. Dr Milone: Hello Casey, thank you so much for this interview and for bringing the attention to the article on muscle diseases. So, I'm Margherita Milone. I'm one of the neuromuscular neurologists at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I have been interested in muscle disorders since I was a neurology resident many years ago. Muscle diseases are the focus of my clinical practice and research interest. Dr Albin: Wonderful. Thank you so much. When I think about myopathies, I generally tend to think of three large buckets: the genetic myopathy, the inflammatory myopathies, and then the necrotizing myopathies. Is that a reasonable approach to conceptualizing these myopathies? Dr Milone: Yeah, the ideology of the myopathies can be quite broad. And yes, we have a large group of genetic muscle diseases, which are the most common. And then we have immune-mediated muscle diseases, which include inflammatory myopathies as well as some form of necrotizing myopathies. Then we have some metabolic myopathies, which could be acquired or could be genetic. And then there are muscle diseases that are due to toxins as well as to infection. Dr Albin: Wow. So, lots of different etiologies. And that really struck me about your article, is that these can present in really heterogeneous ways, and some of them don't really read the rule book. So, we have to have a really high level of suspicion, for someone who's coming in with weakness, to remember to think about a myopathy. One of the things that I like to do is try to take us through a little bit of a case to sort of walk us through how you would approach if someone comes in. So, let's say you get, you know, a forty-year-old woman, and she's presenting with several months of progressive weakness. And she says that even recently she's noted just a little bit of difficulty swallowing. It feels to her like things are getting stuck. What are some of the things when you are approaching the history that would help you tease this to a myopathy instead of so many other things that can cause a patient to be weak? Dr Milone: Yes. So, as you mentioned, people who have a muscle disease have the muscle weakness often, but the muscle weakness is not just specific for a muscle disease. Because you can have a mass weakness in somebody who has a neurogenic paralysis. The problem with diagnosis of muscle diseases is that patients with these disorders have a limited number of symptom and sign that does not match the large heterogeneity of the etiology. So, in someone who has weakness, that weakness could represent a muscle disease, could represent an anterior horn cell disease, could represent a defect of neuromuscular junction. The clinical history of weakness is not sufficient by itself to make you think about a muscle disease. You have to keep that in the differential diagnosis. But your examination will help in corroborating your suspicion of a muscle disease. Let's say if you have a patient, the patient that you described, with six months' history of progressive weakness, dysphagia, and that patient has normal reflexes, and the patient has no clinical evidence for muscle fatigability and no sensory loss, then the probability that that patient has a myopathy increases. Dr Albin: Ah, that's really helpful. I'm hearing a lot of it is actually the lack of other findings. In some ways it's asking, you know, have you experienced numbness and tingling? And if not, that's sort of eliminating that this might not be a neuropathy problem. And then again, that fatigability- obviously fatigability is not specific to a neuromuscular junction, but knowing that is a hallmark of myasthenia, the most common of neuromuscular disorders. Getting that off the table helps you say, okay, well, it's not a neuromuscular junction problem, perhaps. Now we have to think more about, is this a muscle problem itself? Are there any patterns that the patients describe? I have difficulty getting up from a chair, or I have difficulty brushing my hair. When I think of myopathies, I historically have thought of, sort of, more proximal weakness. Is that always true, or not so much? Dr Milone: Yeah. So, there are muscle diseases that involve predominantly proximal weakness. For example, the patient you mentioned earlier could have, for example, an autoimmune muscle disease, a necrotizing autoimmune myopathy; could have, perhaps, dermatomyositis if there are skin changes. But a patient with muscle disease can also present with a different pattern of weakness. So, myopathies can lead to this weakness, and foot drop myopathies can cause- can manifest with the weakness of the calf muscles. So, you may have a patient presenting to the clinic who has no the inability to stand on tiptoes, or you may have a patient who has just facial weakness, who has noted the difficulty sealing their lips on the glasses when they drink and experiencing some drooling in that setting, plus some hand weakness. So, the muscle involved in muscle diseases can vary depending on the underlying cause of the muscle disease. Dr Albin: That's really helpful. So, it really is really keeping an open mind and looking for some supporting features, whether it's bulbar involvement, extraocular eye muscle involvement; looking, you know, is it proximal, is it distal? And then remembering that any of those patterns can also be a muscle problem, even if sometimes we think of distal being more neuropathy and proximal myopathy. Really, there's a host of ranges for this. I really took that away from your article. This is, unfortunately, not just a neat way to box these. We really have to have that broad differential. Let me ask another question about your history. How often do you find that patients complain of, sort of, muscular cramping or muscle pain? And does that help you in terms of deciding what type of myopathy they may have? Dr Milone: Many patients with muscle disease have muscle pain. The muscle pain could signal a presence of inflammation in skeletal muscle, could be the result of overuse from a muscle that is not functioning normally. People who have myotonia experience muscle stiffness and muscle pain. Patients who have a metabolic myopathy usually have exercise-induced muscle pain. But, as we know, muscle pain is also very nonspecific, so we have to try to find out from the patient in what setting the pain specifically occurs. Dr Albin: That's really helpful. So, it's asking a little bit more details about the type of cramping that they have, the type of pain they may be experiencing, to help you refine that differential. Similarly, one of the things that I historically have always associated with myopathies is an elevation in the CK, or the creatinine kinase. How sensitive and specific is that, and how do you as the expert sort of take into account, you know, what their CK may be? Dr Milone: So, this is a very good point. And the elevation of creatine kinase can provide a clue that the patient has a muscle disease, but it is nonspecific for muscle disease because we know that elevation of creatine kinase can occur in the setting of a neurogenic process. For example, we can see elevation of the creatine kinase in patients who have ALS or in patients who have spinal muscular atrophy. And in these patients---for example, those with spinal muscular atrophy---the CK elevation can be also of significantly elevated up to a couple of thousand. Conversely, we can have muscle diseases where the CK elevation does not occur. Examples of these are some genetic muscle disease, but also some acquired muscle diseases. If we think of, for example, cases where inflammation in the muscle occurs in between muscle fibers, more in the interstitium of the muscle, that disease may not lead to significant elevation of the CK. Dr Albin: That's super helpful. So, I'm hearing you say CK may be helpful, but it's neither completely sensitive nor completely specific when we're thinking about myopathic disorders. Dr Milone: You are correct. Dr Albin: Great. So, coming back to our patients, you know, she says that she has this dysphasia. How do bulbar involvement or extraocular eye movement involvement, how do those help narrow your differential? And what sort of disorders are you thinking of for patients who may have that bulbar or extraocular muscle involvement? Dr Milone: Regarding dysphagia, that can occur in the setting of acquired myopathies relatively frequent; for example, in inclusion body myositis or in other forms of inflammatory myopathy. Your patient, I believe, was in their forties, so it's a little bit too young for inclusion body myositis. Involvement of the extraocular muscles is usually much more common in genetic muscle diseases and much less frequent in hereditary muscle disease. So, if there is involvement of the extraocular muscles, and if there is a dysphagia, and if there is a proximal weakness, you may think about oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, for example. But obviously, in a patient who has only six months of history, we have to pay attention of the degree of weakness the patient has developed since the symptom onset. Because if the degree of weakness is mild, yes, it could still be a genetic or could be an acquired disease. But if we have a patient who, in six months, from being normal became unable to climb stairs, then we worry much more about an acquired muscle disease. Dr Albin: That's really helpful. So, the time force of this is really important. And when you're trying to think about, do I put this in sort of a hereditary form of muscle disease, thinking more of an indolent core, something that's going to be slowly progressive versus one of those inflammatory or necrotizing pathologies, that's going to be a much more quick onset, rapidly progressive, Do I have that right? Dr Milone: In general, the statement is correct. They tend, acquired muscle disease, to have a faster course compared to a muscular dystrophy. But there are exceptions. There have been patients with immune mediated necrotizing myopathy who have been misdiagnosed as having limb-girdle muscular dystrophy just because the disease has been very slowly progressive, and vice versa. There may be some genetic muscle diseases that can present in a relatively fast way. And one of these is a lipid storage myopathy, where some patients may develop subacutely weakness, dysphagia, and even respiratory difficulties. Dr Albin: Again, I'm hearing you say that we really have to have an open mind that myopathies can present in a whole bunch of different ways with a bunch of different phenotypes. And so, keeping that in mind, once you suspect someone has a myopathy, looking at the testing from the EMG perspective and then maybe laboratory testing, how do you use that information to guide your work up? Dr Milone: The EMG has a crucial role in the diagnosis of muscle diseases. Because, as we said earlier, weakness could be the result of muscle disease or other form of neuromuscular disease. If the EMG study will show evidence of muscle disease supporting your diagnostic hypothesis, now you have to decide, is this an acquired muscle disease or is this a genetic muscle disease? If you think that, based on clinical history of, perhaps, subacute pores, it is more likely that the patient has an acquired muscle disease, then I would request a muscle biopsy. The muscle biopsy will look for structural abnormalities that could help in narrowing down the type of muscle disease that the patient has. Dr Albin: That's really helpful. When we're sending people to get muscle biopsies, are there any tips that you would give the listeners in terms of what site to biopsy or what site, maybe, not to biopsy? Dr Milone: This is a very important point. A muscle biopsy has the highest diagnostic yield if it's done in a muscle that is weak. And because muscle diseases can result in proximal or distal weakness, if your patient has distal weakness, you should really biopsy a distal muscle. However, we do not wish to biopsy a muscle that is too weak, because otherwise the biopsy sample will result just in fibrous and fatty connected tissue. So, we want to biopsy a muscle that has mild to moderate weakness. Dr Albin: Great. So, a little Goldilocks phenomenon: has to be some weak, but not too weak. You got to get just the right feature there. I love that. That's a really good pearl for our listeners to take. What about on the flip side? Let's say you don't think it's an acquired a muscular disease. How are you handling testing in that situation? Dr Milone: If you think the patient has a genetic muscle disease, you pay a lot of attention to the distribution of the weakness. Ask yourself, what is the best pattern that represent the patient's weakness? So, if I have a patient who has facial weakness, dysphagia, muscle cramping, and then on examination represent myotonia, then at that point we can go straight to a genetic test for myotonic dystrophy type one. Dr Albin: That's super helpful. Dr Milone: So, you request directly that generic test and wait for the result. If positive, you will have proof that your diagnostic hypothesis was correct. Dr Albin: You're using the genetic testing to confirm your hypothesis, not just sending a whole panel of them. You're really informing that testing based on the patient's pattern of weakness and the exam findings, and sometimes even the EMG findings as well. Is that correct? Dr Milone: You are correct, and ideally, yes. And this is true for certain muscle diseases. In addition to myotonic dystrophy type one, for example, if you have a patient who has fascial scapulohumeral muscular weakness, you can directly request a test for FSHD. So, the characterization of the clinical phenotype is crucial before selecting the genetic test for diagnosis. Dr Albin: Wonderful. Dr Milone: However, this is not always possible, because you may have a patient who has just a limb-girdle weakness, and the limb-girdle weakness can be limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. But we know that there are many, many types of limb-girdle muscular dystrophies. Therefore, the phenotype is not sufficient to request specific genetic tests for one specific form of a limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. And in those cases, more complex next-generation sequencing panels have a higher chance of providing the answer. Dr Albin: Got it, that makes sense. So, sometimes we're using a specific genetic test; sometimes, it is unfortunate that we just cannot narrow down to one disease that we might be looking for, and we may need a panel in that situation. Dr Milone: You are correct. Dr Albin: Fantastic. Well, as we wrap up, is there anything on the horizon for muscular disorders that you're really excited about? Dr Milone: Yes, there are a lot of exciting studies ongoing for gene therapy, gene editing. So, these studies are very promising for the treatment of genetic muscle disease, and I'm sure there will be therapists that will improve the patient's quality of life and the disease outcome. Dr Albin: It's really exciting. Well, thank you again.

After tragically failing Margherita, Faust longs for the perfection and beauty of Ancient Greece (Arcadia, the prelapsarian world of Eden) where Mefistofele transports him to administer a more subtle, daring, and intense temptation: that of remaining in the lower heavens of the gods (initiates of the superior worlds). There in the bliss of Nirvana, one easily forgets the sorrows of humanity and the hopes for final liberation (in the Ain Soph). While demons provide temptation in the inferno or Klipoth of kabbalah, Lucifer—the trainer of spiritual initiates—also tempts masters on the path to perfection by offering solace and comfort within the higher dimensions, so as to deter them from ultimate advancement to more elevated esoteric degrees. Even attachment to the sacred feminine (Helen of Troy, the spiritual soul and beloved of Tiphereth) can impede one from supreme self-realization, whereas renunciation of heaven (virtues and mystical powers) is the requisite for transcending all obstacles on the initiatic path. In the denouement of this opera, the significance of temptation, redemption, and transcendence is clarified: for only by giving up what Faust loves most is he able to achieve something higher. See how through his triumph over Mefistofele (desire, ego, Shaitan) and his induction into the conscious circle of self-realized and perfected masters (within the Solar Absolute).
