  1. 1. Immunopathogenic mechanisms in inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Pernilla Englund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Myositis; capillaries; muscle fibers; IL-1 alpha; MHC; adhesion molecules;

    Sammanfattning : The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are characterized by symmetrical, proximal muscle weakness and by inflammatory infiltrates in muscle tissue. Based on different clinical as well as histopathological features the IlMs can be separated into polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Pathogenic mechanisms in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Cecilia Grundtman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are chronic inflammatory disorders characterized by muscle weakness, by low muscle endurance, and by inflammation in skeletal muscle tissue. The pathogenesis and etiology of these conditions are yet not fully understood and several different mechanisms are likely to be involved. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Molecular mechanisms in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Mei Zong; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Myositis is a group of rare autoimmune diseases. Muscle weakness and fatigue are the dominant symptoms and inflammation with T cells and macrophages is a characteristic finding in muscle tissue. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The role of autoantibodies in inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Sevim Barbasso Helmers; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies; polymyositis; dermatomyositis; inclusion body myositis; ILD; IVIG; IFN; BAFF; endothelial cells; anti-Jo-1;

    Sammanfattning : Polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM), collectively called myositis, are chronic inflammatory myopathies. These disease subsets are heterogeneous but share some features, such as skeletal muscle weakness and inflammatory cell infiltrates in muscle tissue. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Immunohistological studies on muscle biopsies : clinical and pathogenetic aspects on inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Björn Lindvall; Göran Solders; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammatory myopathies constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders comprising polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), inclusion body myositis (IBM), as well as overlap syndromes where inflammatory myopathy is associated with different inflammatory systemic diseases, e.g, Sjögren's syndrome.
