Peculiar clinicopathological features of immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies [PDF]
Purpose of reviewIn the past decade, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies have emerged as a separate entity in the heterogenous group of autoimmune myopathies. This group is characterized by clinical manifestations restricted to the muscle tissue, and until recently, the definition was based on muscular pathological features.Recent findingsIt was ...

MRI patterns of thigh muscle involvement in immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy and dermatomyositis. [PDF]
Background Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are characterized by weakness, hyperCKemia, associated autoantibodies, and varying extramuscular manifestations.

Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy due to statins exposure. [PDF]
Statin-induced necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (IMNM) is an autoimmune disorder induced by anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-A reductase (anti-HMGCR) antibodies. We performed a retrospective clinical, histological, and radiological evaluation of 5 patients with a 3-year therapeutic follow-up.

Etiopathogenesis of Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy: A Comprehensive Review of Recent Advances. [PDF]
This review systematically clarifies that the core of IMNM begins with specific autoantibodies, which in turn trigger complement activation, immune cell infiltration, and a storm of inflammatory factors. Together, these processes induce regulatory cell death and mitochondrial dysfunction, ultimately leading to muscle fiber necrosis. Genetic factors and

Tuberculosis-Induced Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy: A Challenging Case Scenario in a Non-Endemic Country. [PDF]
Background and Clinical Significance: Tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant global health challenge; although low–middle income countries carry the heaviest burden, its diagnosis and treatment can be challenging in any country. The clinical picture

Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy [PDF]
Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a type of autoimmune myopathy characterized by relatively severe proximal weakness, myofiber necrosis with minimal inflammatory cell infiltrate on muscle biopsy, and infrequent extra-muscular involvement. Here, we will review the characteristics of patients with IMNM.Anti-signal recognition particle (SRP ...

A tough pill to swallow: Two cases of statin-induced necrotizing autoimmune myopathy manifesting as dysphagia and transaminitis [PDF]
Although 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors are well tolerated, a small subset of patients may develop autoimmune myopathy, classified as immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy.

Phenotype standardization for statin-induced myotoxicity. [PDF]
Statins are widely used lipid-lowering drugs that are effective in reducing cardiovascular disease risk. Although they are generally well tolerated, they can cause muscle toxicity, which can lead to severe rhabdomyolysis.
