Multiple Skeletal Muscle Metastases from Colon Carcinoma Preceded by Paraneoplastic Dermatomyositis

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, 2013
Skeletal muscle metastases are very rare events in colorectal carcinoma. By contrast, dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with characteristic cutaneous manifestations and a well-recognized association with several human malignancies ...

Ageing‐Associated Dysregulation of Myogenic Differentiation in Inclusion Body Myositis

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle is a postmitotic tissue dependent on a complex and tightly regulated regeneration process involving numerous intracellular and extracellular factors, including myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), cytokines and myokines. Quiescent satellite cells are activated by physiological stimuli, injury or other traumatic insults for the ...

Eosinophilic fasciitis (Shulman's disease): review and comparative evaluation of seven patients. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
OBJECTIVES: Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) was described in 1974 by Shulman as a rare fibrosing connective tissue disease of unknown etiology. An undetermined trigger is thought to lead to the degranulation of eosinophils that interact with fibroblasts and

Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy: An Often Misdiagnosed Entity

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2015
Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNM) are recognized as a subgroup of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). IMNM are defined based on a combination of clinical presentation and laboratory studies, requiring a specific myopathological pattern ...

Clinical Conditions Associated With a High Antinuclear Antibody Titer in Individuals Without Autoimmune Disease

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Volume 78, Issue 5, Page 662-669, May 2026.
Objective Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are present at high titers in 2% of the general population, but their clinical significance in individuals without an autoimmune (AI) disease is not known. We tested the hypothesis that the presence of a high ANA titer in non‐AI conditions is associated with disease.

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP): A Comprehensive Review of Types, Pathophysiology, and Treatment Approaches

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is an autoimmune disorder causing demyelination, leading to distal weakness, sensory loss, and autonomic dysfunction. Immune activation triggers macrophage‐mediated myelin damage and conduction failure.
