It has been recognized for some time now, that compared with the normal population, patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) live with an increased risk of developing malignancy. In the majority of these patients, cancer-associated myositis appears to have some paraneoplastic features. The aim of the present review is to describe new data

Distal myopathies are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized clinically by progressive muscular weakness and atrophy beginning in the hands or feet, and pathologically by myopathic changes in skeletal muscles. Five distinct distal myopathies are identified, among them four have been recently defined by their gene and causative ...

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2007
Advanced molecular genetic possibilities have made it possible to clarify and delineate an ever growing number of distinct new disease entities in the group of distal myopathies. These diseases share the clinical features of preferential muscle weakness in the feet and/or hands, and as they are genetic disorders that lead to progressive loss of muscle ...

Primary myositis (or inflammatory myopathies) comprises three main groups of diseases, based on clinical and immunohistochemical characteristics: polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis. Their clinical presentation and course are disparate, but a common characteristic is immune dysfunction-related inflammation of the ...

Disorders of glycogen, lipid or mitochondrial metabolism may cause two main clinical syndromes, namely (1) progressive weakness (eg, acid maltase, debrancher enzyme, and brancher enzyme deficiencies among the glycogenoses; long- and very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD, VLCAD), and trifunctional enzyme deficiencies among the fatty acid ...

Six clinically affected and 18 asymptomatic members of a six-generation family were investigated clinically, by estimation of serum CK levels, and in some cases by quantitative electromyographic techniques and muscle biopsy. It was concluded that the myopathy was probably inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expression and incomplete ...

AbstractSix glycogen storage diseases (resulting from deficiencies of acid maltase, phosphorylase, phosphofructokinase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, and lactate dehydrogenase) and one mitochondrial myopathy (cytochrome c oxidase deficiency) are reviewed to illustrate: 1) clinical heterogeneity, 2) biochemical heterogeneity, 3 ...

The atrophy produced by endocrine disorders is primarily due to alterations in protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Type II muscle fibers are more severely affected than are Type I fibers. Steroid myopathy and the myopathy associated with excess ACTH have a typical pattern of proximal weakness affecting the legs more than the arms.

AbstractMitochondrial myopathies are clinically heterogeneous disorders that can affect multiple systems besides skeletal muscle (mitochondrial encephalomyopathies or cytopathies) and are usually defined by morphological abnormalities of muscle mitochondria.

Nemaline myopathy constitutes a continuous spectrum of primary skeletal muscle disorders named after the Greek word for thread, nema. The diagnosis is based on muscle weakness, combined with visualization of nemaline bodies on muscle biopsy. The patients' muscle weakness is usually generalized, but there may be a selective pattern of more pronounced ...
