There is a growing understanding of the pathologic and molecular abnormalities associated with loss of MTM1, and emerging therapeutic strategies that are in the process of translation to patients. Much of these data have been uncovered through experimentation in pre-clinical animal models of the disease. The most widely used model is an Mtm1 gene knockout mouse line; this line faithfully recapitulates the salient genetic and pathologic features of the disease. Despite the advances in aspects of XLMTM, there remain many unknowns related to disease pathomechanisms and to understanding of MTM1’s function in normal muscle development, and a continued need for therapy identification and development. To address these barriers, and to lay the groundwork for future study, we performed a natural history study of the Mtm1 knockout ...

Methodology: The centers participating in the study were divided into three groups as tertiary referral centers, state hospitals and private practice hospitals. The number of outpatients, inpatients, daily interventions and urological surgeries were recorded prospectively between 9-March-2020 and 31-May-2020. All these variables were recorded for the same time interval of 2019 as well. The weekly change of the workload of urology during pandemic period was evaluated; also the 2019 were compared; a huge decrease was observed in all variables during pandemic period. However, temporary measures like ureteral stenting, nephrostomy placement and percutaneous cystostomy have been found to increase during Covid-19 pandemic compared to normal life. Conclusions: Covid-19 pandemic significantly effected the routine daily urological practice likewise other subspecialties and priority was given to emergent and non-deferrable surgeries by urologists in concordance with published clinical guidelines.
