Inclusion body myositis, polymyositis, and dermatomyositis are three distinct categories of inflammatory myopathy. Some authorities commented on the selective early weakness of the volar forearm ...

We report the treatment of four patients with inclusion-body myositis (IBM) and severe slowly progressive weakness using high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). After two monthly infusions ...

Of 85 consecutive patients with mitochondrial myopathy, 29 had clinically significant central nervous system involvement. Nine of these had movement disorders that included dystonia, chorea ...

Recently, we identified the selenoprotein N gene (SEPN1) as responsible for SEPN-related myopathy (SEPN-RM), a unique early-onset myopathy formerly divided in two different nosological categories ...

Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a type of inflammatory myopathy. Most patients with IMNM produce anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase or anti-signal-recognition particle ...

Laboratory analysis and a muscle biopsy specimen led to the diagnosis of polymyositis. Chest imaging revealed a bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumor. Symptoms and laboratory derangements remitted ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of exercise intensity on the muscle histopathology in steroid myopathy rats. DESIGN: Eight-week-old male Wistar rats (n=40) were divided into four groups ...

The keywords used were statins, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, adverse effects, autoimmune disease, lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis and polymyositis. RESULTS ...

with a confirmed diagnosis of DM or CADM and one or more dermatologic visits between 2005 and 2023 at the Johns Hopkins Myositis Center, Baltimore. Most patients were White (69%), Black (19%), and ...

All five patients had atrioventricular (AV) block and mild or subclinical myopathy. Granulofilamentous material was present in skeletal muscle biopsy samples in all five patients, and unlike the ...

A patient with active stable idiopathic polymyositis received a 4-week supervised right quadriceps and biceps isometric strengthening program. He demonstrated a significant increase in isometric ...

sIBM is most often misdiagnosed as polymyositis, based on the simplistic view that creatine kinase elevation with endomysial inflammation denotes polymyositis. In contrast to sIBM, however ...
