Polymyositis and dermatomyositis
, 2002Several techniques have been developed to accomplish these objectives. Open thoracotomy allows for the resection or stapling of apical blebs followed by a mechanical pleu-ral abrasion or parietal pleurectomy to create a pleural symphysis and prevent ...

AbstractIn 3 patients with subacute polymyositis, muscle biopsies were remarkable for showing abundant infiltration by eosinophils. In each case the inflammatory myopathy was part of a systemic illness known as the hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). The systemic manifestations included eosinophilia, anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, vascular involvement ...

The epidemiology of polymyositis
The American Journal of Medicine, 1970Incidence data and the descriptive epidemiology of polymyositis in a defined population area are reported. An age-adjusted incidence rate for hospital-diagnosed polymyositis of 5.0 cases per million population per year, over a twenty-two year period, for a racially mixed population, has been determined.

POLYMYOSITIS AND TOXOPLASMOSIS
Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1981Extensive severe polymyositis in a patient with toxoplasmosis was presented. Toxoplasmosis was serologically substantiated by a serial two‐tube rise in a toxoplasma‐antibody titer by a hemagglutination test. What appeared to be toxoplasma gondii was detected in areas of myositis.

Background Serum YKL-40 has been proved to be a promising biomarker for estimating the disease activity of several autoimmune diseases. However, its utility in polymyositis or dermatomyositis has not been established.

Dermatomyositis and polymyositis
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2003Dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) are idiopathic inflammatory myopathies characterized by proximal greater than distal muscle weakness, elevated serum creatine kinase levels, electrophysiologic abnormalities, and inflammation on muscle biopsy.

According to widely used criteria (Bohan and Peter criteria, 1975), dermatomyositis (DM) is differentiated from polymyositis (PM) only by skin changes. More recent criteria also include histopathologic characteristics enabling the distinction between PM and DM and the differentiation of sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM) from PM.

Polymyositis and dermatomyositis
The Lancet, 2003The inflammatory myopathies, commonly described as idiopathic, are the largest group of acquired and potentially treatable myopathies. On the basis of unique clinical, histopathological, immunological, and demographic features, they can be differentiated into three major and distinct subsets: dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and inclusion-body myositis ...

To characterize and analyze a subgroup of patients with polymyositis presented with predominant or isolated proximal upper limb and neck weakness.Patients with polymyositis, presenting with predominant or isolated weakness of upper limbs and the neck, were included. Bohan and Peter and Targoff criteria were used for the diagnosis of polymyositis.

Polymyositis is associated with a variety of pulmonary manifestations that may complicate an established case, occur simultaneously with the muscle manifestations, or precede the muscle disease. Included are respiratory muscle involvement, aspiration syndromes, and a variety of interstitial lung reactions.
