  1. 1. Interstitial lung disease in polymyositis and dermatomyositis

    Författare :Maryam Fathi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :dermatomyositis; polymyositis; interstitial lung disease;

    Sammanfattning : Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are rare disease entities affecting skeletal muscle and other organs such as the lungs. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is increasingly recognized as a serious complication of poly-/dermatomyositis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis : inflammation, muscle structure and immunosuppressive treatment

    Författare :Ingela Loell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are chronic, inflammatory disorders characterized by muscle weakness, low muscle endurance and by inflammation in skeletal muscle tissues. The pathogenesis is not completely understood and several mechanisms are believed to be involved. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Exercise and outcome measures in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis

    Författare :Helene Alexanderson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Inflammatory myopathies; exercise; outcome measures; disability;

    Sammanfattning : Polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are chronic idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) which are clinically characterized by symmetrical proximal muscle weakness, fatigue, myalgia and extra- muscular involvement. Muscle impairment is the most significant feature of PM and DM with characteristic infiltrates of mononuclear inflammatory cells in muscle biopsies, elevated inflammatory parameters in serum and characteristic EMG changes, which separate these disorders from neurologic disorders and also fibromyalgia.

  5. 4. Clinical and epidemiological project in cancer-associated dermatomyositis : the role of anti-TIF1γ antibodies

    Författare :Lara Dani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a heterogeneous group of rare chronic autoimmune inflammatory diseases causing a debilitating muscle weakness but encountering even other symptoms such as arthritis, skin rash, lung involvement or dysphagia. IIM are a diagnostic challenge because of the clinical variability and the need to early identify the subgroups of disease with worst prognosis. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hand function, activity limitation and health-related quality of life in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis

    Författare :Malin Regardt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Common clinical features are proximal muscle weakness and reduced muscle endurance, which can lead to activity limitation and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). LÄS MER
