Inclusion body myositis and myopathies
Current Opinion in Neurology, 1997Sporadic inclusion body myositis is a frequent, acquired, adult-onset vacuolar myopathy affecting proximal and distal muscles with a distinct, easily identifiable clinical pattern. Although its primary cause is still unknown, autoimmune, viral, and degenerative processes, alone or in combination, are being considered.

Update on Inclusion Body Myositis
Current Rheumatology Reports, 2018While sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is the most common acquired muscle disease after age 50, the pathogenesis of this disease is still poorly understood. In this review, we discuss our current state of knowledge in sIBM and provide an update on our current understanding of its pathophysiology and management.Lines of evidence in support of an ...

Biomarkers of inclusion body myositis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2013Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a poorly understood autoimmune and degenerative disorder of skeletal muscle. Here, pathophysiological and diagnostic biomarkers of IBM are reviewed.Muscle histopathological biomarkers have been successful in stimulating the study of IBM pathophysiology for over three decades.

Treatment of inclusion body myositis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1999Sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM) is considered the most common muscle disease in patients older than 50 years, with a male predominance. Features of s-IBM include insidious onset, slowly and relentlessly progressive muscle weakness, a characteristic distribution and atrophy of both the proximal and distal muscle groups, and resistance to ...

Inclusion Body Myositis—A Review
Advances in Anatomic Pathology, 1998Inclusion body myositis (IBM), a sporadic inflammatory myopathy, is the most frequently occurring progressive myopathy in adults older than 55 years. It more commonly affects men and usually is clinically and pathologically distinguishable from dermatomyositis or polymyositis.

Leukocytapheresis in inclusion body myositis
Journal of Clinical Apheresis, 1987AbstractA patient with inclusion body myositis was treated with a course of 22 leukocytaphereses combined with prednisone and azathioprine therapy. He improved clinically during an induction phase of frequent cytapheresis, which reduced the circulating levels of T lymphocytes and monocytes and decreased the ratio of the T4+ to T8+ lymphocyte subsets ...

The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are systemic, chronic autoimmune diseases characterized by proximal symmetrical muscle weakness. One of the main diseases in this group is inclusion body myositis (IBM), an underdiagnosed, progressive muscle disease characteristically affecting the middle-aged and older population.

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 1998
In 3 patients, a 72-year-old man, a 62-year-old man and a 73-year-old woman with weakness of respectively the quadriceps femoris, the finger flexors and the pharyngeal muscles, the diagnosis of 'inclusion body myositis' was made. This is a rare, slowly progressive skeletal muscle disorder which is more common in men and after the age of fifty.
