    Extractions: Myositis is an inflammatory myopathy. Inflammatory myopathies include dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and inclusion body myositis. Although all of these diseases result in muscle weakness, each is unique in its development and treatment. All forms of myositis involve chronic muscle inflammation and may be associated with other forms of connective tissue diseases, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. It also can be associated with occult (hidden) malignancy. Dermatomyositis is a form of myositis which involves inflammation of the muscles and results in damage to muscle fibers AND skin. Inflammatory myopathies are thought to be autoimmune disorders. In inflammatory myopathies, inflammatory cells invade and destroy muscle fibers as if they were defective or foreign to the body. This eventually results in muscle weakness. It primarily affects the proximal muscles (those closest to the body). Early signs of myositis may include difficulty rising from a chair, climbing stairs, or lifting the arms. A person may become tired after prolonged standing or walking. In some cases, early signs include trouble swallowing or breathing. Myositis is diagnosed by running a number of tests including a physical examination, blood tests, electromyography (EMG), and muscle biopsy.

    Extractions: Hello. My name is Sherrell and I am the mother of three loving children. My youngest child is a beautiful little girl named Jordan. She was only 10 years old, in 1998, when diagnosed with a rare disease called Juvenile Dermatomyositis. (JDMS) It is so rare, information is hard to come by. I thought I would put her diary on the Internet in hopes of getting more information and also, to let other parents, facing this same nightmare, know that they are not alone. The first months of the diary may be hard to read. It brings tears to my eyes and I wrote it and lived it. But, trust me, there are joyful tears in the months to come. We have been blessed, for God is taking care of our baby. We hope that the information is helpful to each of you. The diary is our personal experience and doesn't necessarily apply to everyone. However, if you share the diary with someone else that has been diagnosed with JDMS or is the parent of a child with JDMS, please encourage them to read the whole diary or at least through December 1998. I just recently found a forum that can connect us and may help answer many questions. You may want to check it out.

Hayat, M.D. Navigate Here Case Inclusion Body Myositis Severe Conjunctival Edema 48 year old man with diabetes 20-Month-Old Male Refusal To Bear Weight On The Legs 9 Year Old With Intermittent Episodes Table - Proposed Diagnostic Criteria for Inclusion Body Myositis Immune-mediated inflammatory myopathies (IM) consist of polymyositis, dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis (IBM). The clinical features, immunopathogenesis, prognosis and therapeutic interventions vary, although polymyositis and IBM share some common pathological features. The pathogenesis of IBM is unknown and new research is pointing toward possible apolipoprotein abnormalities. Clinical Features Inclusion body myositis is commonly seen in males; the usual age of onset is 15 years and over. IBM is the most common IM in males over age 50, is slowly progressive and affects distal and proximal muscles. The characteristic features consist of involvement of quadriceps, dorsiflexors and volar forearm muscles. The proposed diagnostic criteria are outlined in Table I and include duration of illness more than six months, evidence of finger flexor weakness and wrist flexors affected more than the wrist extensors. The serum creatinine phosphokinase can be normal and, when elevated, is noted to be less than 12 times the normal value. IBM may be associated with other immune-mediated conditions(3), mitochondrial diseases, peripheral neuropathy and vasculitis.

    Extractions: Inclusion body myositis, an inflammatory myopathy, has increasingly been recognized as the most common cause of muscle weakness diagnosed in older individuals. In addition, several patients with refractory polymyositis have, upon reevaluation of their diagnosis, been diagnosed with inclusion body myositis. The symptoms differ slightly from the other inflammatory myopathies in that the weakness seems to affect the distal and flexor muscles of the hands and quadriceps muscles more severely than other muscle groups. At present there is no effective treatment for inclusion body myositis. Several treatments using various immunosuppressants have not shown significant benefit, although there are anecdotal reports of certain patients responding to various immunosuppressive medications. Recent reports suggesting a beneficial effect of treatment with high doses of intravenous gamma globulin in a very small group of patients awaits confirmation.

    Extractions: Patients are needed to define clinical, immunologic, and immunogenetic subsets of patients with juvenile myositis. They are studying patients with any form of inflammatory muscle disease whose onset occured at 18 yr of age, including patients dx as having juvenille dermatomyositis, polymyositis, myositis associated with another connective tissue disease, inclusion body myositis, focal myositis, ocular myositis, and cancer associated myositis. Patients may have any level of disease activity, incluyding inactive disease. Participation requires completion of detailed questionaire and a collection of a blood sample. Calcinosis Specimens from Myositis Patients We are organizing a study involving muscle biopsies of juvenile polymyositis and dermatomyositis patients for a systematic examination of immunohistochemistry and other immune markers. Paraffin-embedded and/or frozen tissue blocks are needed for this study. Please contact Fred Miller or Lisa Rider if you are able to contribute any samples. Patients who develop any form of myositis within 6 months of receiving any immunization (vaccination) are needed for study. Patients with myositis not developing within 6 months of immunization (vaccination), as well as normal controls who received the same immunization (vaccination ) are also neeed for study. Participation consists of completing a questionnaire and collecting a blood sample from a local physician.

    Extractions: External blows that cause tissue damage and vascular disruption lead to muscle contusions. An external blow creates a compression wave that travels through soft tissues and causes damage to the deep portion of muscle (vastus intermedius) as the external blow crushes the muscle against the adjacent bone. Extravasation of blood occurs within 24 hours, and bleeding is dispersed within and between muscle. By 1 week, acute inflammation results in elimination of debris and granulation tissue replaces the hematoma and necrotic muscle. Myoblastic activity increases and, by 3 weeks, dystrophic calcium and intramembranous bone can form in muscle and eventually ossify ( Slide 1 A peripheral zone of lamellar bone, an osteoid middle zone, and a central proliferation of granulation and fibrous tissue is characteristic of myositis ossificans. Slide 1 Forceful manipulation and contusion can individually lead to the development of ossification as shown in animal models.
