    Sammanfattning : The inflammatory myopathy inclusion body myositis (IBM) is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and dysphagia in individuals over 45 years of age. Muscle biopsy shows inflammatory infiltrates, vacuoles with protein accumulation and cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-deficient muscle fibers. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), also known as myositis, are rare autoimmune diseases, characterized by proximal muscle weakness and inflammatory cells in skeletal muscle tissue. The most common subgroups are polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM). LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used in both children and adults to treat common inflammatory diseases, including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. However, a multitude of undesired side effects have been reported in patients being treated with GCs, such as osteoporosis, obesity, metabolic disturbances, myopathy and decreased linear bone growth (in children).
