Sarcoidosis: Is It a Possible Trigger of Inclusion Body Myositis?
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder of unknown etiology, characterized pathologically by the presence of nonnecrotizing granulomatous inflammation in affected organs. Although skeletal muscle is involved in 50–80 percent of individuals with sarcoidosis,

Investigating the Role of Type I Interferon Signaling on Muscle Disease Using Mouse Models
Objective Dysregulated type I interferon (IFN) signaling contributes to autoimmune myositis pathogenesis. We investigated the therapeutic effects of JAK inhibitors in two mouse models. We also examined how type I IFNs affect muscle vasculature. Methods Myositis was induced in major histocompatibility complex class I double transgenic ([TRE‐H‐2Kb (H ...

Inclusion body myositis. [PDF]
Since the early description of cases of inflammatory myopathy with unusual filamentous inclusions in muscle fibres inclusion body myotis has come to be recognised as a major form of idiopathic inflammatory with distinctive clinical and pathological features which accounts for up to a third of patients with inflammatory myopathy see in a neuromuscular ...

Objective Myositis‐specific autoantibodies guide the diagnosis and classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, but current immunoassays vary in accuracy, particularly for autoantibodies associated with interstitial lung disease. To compare the performance of the luciferase immunoprecipitation systems (LIPS) assay with line blot and ...
