Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2019
Major advances have been made in the field of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), or myositis, that are likely to facilitate development of new therapeutic strategies that have not yet been applied in this group of diseases. These advances include new classification criteria to better identify the patients with IIM, detection of several new ...

Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

2008
Major pathology consists of focal inhomogeneous infl ammation with injury, death, and repair of muscle cells. Each subgroup of myositis has characteristic changes on microscopy and immunochemistry. ■ Etiology is still unclear but selected environmental exposures in genetically predisposed hosts have been found.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies – myositis

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2002
The inflammatory myopathies - myositis - encompass a heterogeneous group of chronic muscle disorders of unknown origin and with varying prognoses. New clinical phenotypes of myositis have been identified since the most widely used classification criteria were proposed in 1975.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy

Medicine, 2014
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, especially dermatomyositis and polymyositis, are systemic autoimmune diseases with significant mortality and morbidity. Muscle weakness of the proximal muscles is the most common presenting clinical feature. Since idiopathic inflammatory myopathy is relatively uncommon, randomized control trials are scarce, and ...

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2011
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) encompass a heterogeneous group of rare disorders that present with acute, subacute, or chronic muscle weakness. Besides overlapping clinical manifestations, polymyositis, dermatomyositis and autoimmune necrotizing myopathy may be associated with cancer or collagen vascular disease, and respond generally ...

Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Continuum
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a group of autoimmune diseases with a broad spectrum of clinical presentations, primarily characterised by immune-mediated muscle injury. Until recently, there was little insight into the pathogenesis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, which challenged the recognition of the breadth of heterogeneity of this ...

Juvenile Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2018
The juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (JIIM) are a group of rare, chronic, autoimmune illnesses that affect muscle and, to a lesser extent, skin. The presence of new-onset weakness and, in juvenile dermatomyositis, typical rahes, should lead to consideration of these diagnoses.

Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

2017
Clinical and histological features of dermatomyositis and polymyositis were described 40 years ago. At that time, these two entities comprised the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Since then, inclusion body myopathy and necrotizing myopathy have been added to this group of myopathic conditions.

Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

DeckerMed Family Medicine, 2015
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), also known as myositis syndromes, are a collection of heterogeneous disorders that share the common feature of chronic muscle inflammation of unknown cause. These disorders may occur in adults or children and are sometimes associated with other connective tissue disorders and a variety of cancers.

Polski merkuriusz lekarski : organ Polskiego Towarzystwa Lekarskiego, 2005
The following disease entities are being included into the idiopathic inflammatory myopathy group (IIM): dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), inclusion body myositis (IBM). These are primary inflammatory muscle diseases with substantial muscle weakening in their course. Everyone of the entities belonging to IIM is possessed of a particular clinical
