Muscle hypoxia in myositis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sleep disordered breathing and subclinical impairment of respiratory function are common in sporadic inclusion body myositis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Relatively little is known about frequency and extent of respiratory problems in sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM). To address this issue a study of peripheral muscle and respiratory function and related symptoms was performed in a cohort with biopsy-proven IBM. Dyspnoea, daytime sleepiness,

Myositis ossificans circumscripta: a complication of tetanus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Myositis ossificans developed in a 67-year-old man recovering from tetanus. This rare complication develops in the convalescent phase of tetanus through metaplastic changes in undifferentiated connective tissue cells in areas of myocellular injury. Anoxia, hematoma formation, and immobilization may

[A case with severe respiratory muscle weakness due to chronic myositis associated with PBC].

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a 37-year-old woman with slowly developing muscular weakness for 2 years following insidious stiffness of calf muscle. Serum CK was elevated up to 4,207 IU/l. She presented sleepiness, weakness of proximal and truncal muscles and systemic muscular atrophy. While she had not experienced

Acute Exacerbation of Interstitial Lung Disease in Adult Patients With Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

Objective: This study aimed at clarifying the prevalence, risk factors, outcome, and outcome-related factors of acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease (AE-ILD) in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Methods: Data of IIM patients who were admitted to the First

Microvasculopathic neuromuscular diseases: lessons from hypoxia-inducible factors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dermatomyositis and vasculitic neuropathies are disorders with immune mediated ischemic injuries. Cellular responses to hypoxia include the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1)-induced transcription of genes involved in angiogenesis. To study their possible roles in those disorders, the

Nonimmune mechanisms in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

Only registered users can translate articles

Purpose of review: This review encompasses the main novelties regarding nonimmune mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Recent findings:

Myositis associated with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning causes hypoxia and inflammation, which could adversely affect muscle. We could find no published information about CO poisoning causing myositis.A 53-year-old previously healthy female semi truck driver had CO poisoning from a

Disease-associated increased HIF-1, alphavbeta3 integrin, and Flt-1 do not suffice to compensate the damage-inducing loss of blood vessels in inflammatory myopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To analyze the microvascular network in skeletal muscle biopsies from patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and systemic sclerosis (SSc) compared to polymyositis (PM) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and non-inflammatory myopathies, and to clarify whether reparative

Role of non-immune mechanisms of muscle damage in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) comprise a group of autoimmune diseases that are characterized by symmetrical skeletal muscle weakness and muscle inflammation with no known cause. Like other autoimmune diseases, IIMs are treated with either glucocorticoids or immunosuppressive drugs.

Pathogenesis, classification and treatment of inflammatory myopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

The inflammatory myopathies-collectively, myositis-are a heterogeneous group of chronic muscle disorders that differ in response to immunosuppressive treatment. Insufficient knowledge of the molecular pathways that drive pathogenesis (and underlie the clinical differences between subtypes) has

Necrotizing myositis causes restrictive hypoventilation in a mouse model for human enterovirus 71 infection.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infections are associated with a high prevalence of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in children and occasionally cause lethal complications. Most infections are self-limiting. However, resulting complications, including aseptic meningitis, encephalitis,

Exercise effects in patients with adult idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To give an update on recent findings on effects of exercise in patients with adult inflammatory myopathies. RESULTS Although responding to treatment, a majority of patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis develop sustained disability. The reason for this is not clear. However, a

Pathogenesis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, myositis, are characterized by a chronic course with decreased muscle endurance and by infiltrates of T lymphocytes and macrophages in muscle tissue. Treatment with immunosuppressives rarely leads to recovery of muscle function, despite abolishment of

The Immune Response and the Pathogenesis of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myositis: a Critical Review.

Only registered users can translate articles

The pathogenesis of idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIMs, including polymyositis and dermatomyositis) remains largely enigmatic, despite advances in the study of the role played by innate immunity, adaptive immunity, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors in an orchestrated response.
