Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: Clinical Approach and Management
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a group of chronic, autoimmune conditions affecting primarily the proximal muscles. The most common types are dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM), and sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM). Patients typically present with sub-acute to chronic onset of proximal weakness manifested by difficulty with rising ...
متن کاملRecent clinical trials in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are complex multisystemic autoimmune diseases. Glucocorticoids remain the cornerstone of treatment in IIM, and the benefit of additional immunosuppressors is still debated. A limited number of controlled clinical trials have been available to support treatment guidelines, but in the last year, several clinical trials have been publishe...
متن کاملResistin in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the serum levels and local expression of resistin in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies to controls, and to determine the relationship between resistin levels, inflammation and disease activity. METHODS Serum resistin levels were determined in 42 patients with inflammatory myopathies and 27 healthy controls. The ...
متن کاملAutoantibodies in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Autoimmune response to nuclear and cytoplasmic autoantigens is detected in about 60-80% of patients affected with idiopathic inflammatory myositis such as polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM). Some of the serum autoantibodies are shared with other autoimmune diseases (myositis-associated antibodies MAA) and some of them are unique to myositis (myositis-speci...
متن کاملChemokines in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) represent a heterogeneous group of acquired muscle diseases. The three best-studied subgroups: dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), and sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM), differ considerably both clinically and pathophysiologically. DM is a chiefly humoral endotheliopathy often associated with characteristic skin manifestations. In PM and IB...
