Myopathies Group I nflammatory myopathies are a group of muscle diseases involving the inflammation and degeneration of skeletal muscle tissues, The inflammatory myopathies include Dermatomyositis, Polymyositis and Inclusion body Myositis each being unique in it's development and treatment Myositis means inflammation of muscle. Polymyositis means inflammation of many muscles, and dermatomyositis means inflammation of muscle and skin. The results of either condition are weakened muscles and often muscle pain. These conditions are seldom fatal, but in the most severe cases a person may need a wheelchair or require assistance with activities of daily living. Dermatomyositis Dermatomyositis (DM) is the most easily recognized of the inflammatory myopathies due to its distinctive rash. This rash occurs as a patchy, dusky, reddish or lilac rash on the eyelids, cheeks, and bridge of the nose, and on the back or upper chest, elbows, knees and knuckles. Some people with dermatomyositis develop calcified nodules or hardened bumps under the skin. The rash often precedes muscle weakness. Dermatomyositis can occur at any age from childhood to adulthood and is more common in females than males. High dose prednisone has been an effective treatment for many patients. Azathioprine and methotrexate are often used. Unfortunately, these drugs have adverse side effects, especially after prolonged use. Polymyositis Polymyositis (PM) does not have the characteristic rash of dermatomyositis (DM). Onset of muscle weakness usually progresses slower than DM. In the main muscles nearest to the trunk of the body are weakened whereas muscles furthest away are affected variable. Difficulty in swallowing is common in PM. Inability to breathe due to muscle failure is uncommon but occurs more often in PM than in dermatomyositis or inclusion body myositis. As many as one third of PM patients have muscle pain, but it is rarely the chief complaint. High doses of prednisone have been an effective treatment for many patients. azathioprine and methotrexate are also prescribed. Unfortunately, these drugs have adverse side affects, especially after prolonged use.

    Myositis Testing Laboratory
    Another type of autoimmune disease attacks the muscles of the body. The "myositis-specific antibodies" (MSA) can assist in the diagnosis of polymyositis and dermatomyositis in those patients who have the diseases. About 50% of patients with polymyositis or dermatomyositis have specific MSA or myositis associated antibodies (MAA). MSA are almost never found in patients without myositis, even if they have other muscle diseases of autoimmune diseases. This means that when the physician's examination and initial testing suggests the possibility of polymyositis or dermatomyositis, a positive test for an MSA can be strong supporting evidence for the diagnosis. For a long time the testing for these antibodies was only available in research studies, but it is now possible to obtain this testing clinically. The Myositis Profile, performed at the OMRF Clinical Immunology Laboratory, includes tests for 12 of the MSAs and MAAs. Additional antibodies may be detectable using this profile. Dr. Ira Targoff is the consultant to the Clinical Immunology Laboratory regarding this testing. As with the Reichlin Profile for lupus, patients with a particular antibody may have distinctive clinical pictures with certain associated problems. Identifying certain antibodies can help characterize the condition more fully. Research continues in our lab, and others around the world, to determine the nature of the relationship between the various MSAs and polymyositis and dermatomyositis.

    Relief from Tension myositis is possible through the Freedom FromPain Program from BradyInstitute.com. Our Program will help you
    http://www.bradyinstitute.com/tms.html
    TMS is a disorder that can be the cause of many physical symptoms. Due to mounting stress and strong negative repressed emotions, you may experience:
    • Chronic Back Pain
      Fibromyalgia Pain
      Chronic Neck and Shoulder Pain
      Sciatic Nerve Pain
      Myofascial Pain Syndrome
      Irritable Bowel Syndrome
      Tension or Migraine Headaches.. and More.
    TMS usually involves your muscles, nerves or tendons. The symptoms are thought to be caused by mild oxygen deprivation due to increased autonomic and vascular tone. The autonomic tone of your body is abnormally increased by your subconscious mind in response to a critical level of repressed emotions. The great news is that TMS symptoms can be virtually eliminated without medicines and without surgery. TMS was discovered by NYU physician and professor Dr. John Sarno. Dr. Scott Brady MD, founder of The Brady Institute for Health, was trained to treat TMS by Dr. Sarno. Dr. Brady once suffered from Back Pain and Irritable Bowel Syndrome due to TMS. After visiting many physicians and undergoing the traditional treatments for several years, Dr. Brady learned about TMS, recovered from TMS, and began treating TMS patients with great success at The Brady Institute for Health.

    Wat is polymyositis (PM)? Polymyositis is een ziekte waarbij de spieren ontsteken, waarschijnlijk ten gevolge van auto-immuunreacties. De eigelijke oorzaak is echter nog niet bekend.
    Wat is dermatomyositis (DM)? Wanneer polymyositis samengaat met een bepaald soort huidontstekingen spreekt men van dermatomyositis (derma = huid). Belangrijkste symptomen Het eerste symptoom is meestal spierzwakte en wel van de bekkenspieren, wat zich uit door moeite bij het bestijgen van trappen, bij het fietsen enz. Terzelfder tijd of kort nadien ontstaan dezelfde klachten in de nek en de schoudergordelspieren. De krachtsvermindering kan licht tot heel ernstig zijn, gaande tot verlamming. Er kan min of meer belangrijke spierpijn aanwezig zijn. De huidverschijnselen zijn meestal ook in het begin al aanwezig en kunnen zelfs de spierproblemen voorafgaan. Soms zijn de spierklachten minder belangrijk dan de huidklachten. Gewrichtsontstekingen met zwelling, maar zonder aantasting van kraakbeen of bot komen voor.

    INFORMATION April 1999
    Necrotizing Fasciitis/Myositis
    ("flesh-eating disease")
    Necrotizing fasciitis nek -roe-tie-zing fah-shee- eye -tis) is more commonly known as "flesh-eating disease". It is a rare illness that causes extensive tissue destruction and can lead to death. In Canada, there are 90-200 cases of necrotizing fasciitis each year.
    Definition and Symptoms
    Symptoms of necrotizing fasciitis include fever, severe pain, and a red, painful swelling which spreads rapidly. Death can occur in 12 to 24 hours. When the disease spreads along the layers of tissue that surround muscle (the fascia), it is called necrotizing fasciitis . When the disease spreads into the muscle tissue, it is called necrotizing myositis
    Cause
    Necrotizing fasciitis can be caused by a number of different bacteria, one of them being the group A streptococcus. This is a common bacteria which causes infections, such as sore or strep throat, in children and young adults. Ten to 15 per cent of school age children may carry group A streptococcus in their throat and have no symptoms. It is normally spread through close, personal contact with an infected person, for example, through kissing or sharing cutlery. This same bacteria also causes scarlet fever, impetigo and rheumatic fever. Sometimes group A streptococcus causes serious diseases such as pneumonia, streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome, and necrotizing fasciitis and myositis. In instances where serious disease develops, the presence of sore throat is very unusual.

    Inclusion Body Myositis
    February 2003 Written by Dr S Hammans (Consultant Neurologist) Wessex Neurological Centre, Southampton for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. What is inclusion body myositis? Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a disease of muscle, which causes muscles to become thin and weak. It was recognised as a disease in its own right in the 1960's. It usually occurs in middle to late life and is more common in men than women. We don't know how many people in the UK are affected but it is the most common muscle disease diagnosed after the age of 50. Nevertheless, it is sufficiently rare that most general practitioners will not have looked after patients with IBM before, and many doctors will not have heard of the condition. How will it affect me? IBM is a slowly progressive condition causing a gradual deterioration in muscle strength over the years. Most limb muscles can be affected. In particular the quadriceps (the thigh muscles which extend the knee joint), and forearm muscles that flex the wrists and fingers are commonly weak. Accordingly, patients often notice difficulty with stairs, getting out of a chair and a poor grip. Swallowing muscles are affected in some patients, but most do not encounter severe swallowing problems. The disease typically does not affect muscles of the heart, eye, gut or bladder. It does not affect the function of the brain or sensation, and speech is rarely affected. In general patients do not die of the disease, but most meet with some degree of disability as the disease progresses.

    Myositis Ossifcans Progressiva
    January 2000 Written by Professor J M Connor MD, FRCP for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. Myositis ossificans progressiva, also known as Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva or FOP, is a disabling condition which is caused by the formation of bony bars within the muscles of the body. This bone formation is usually first noticed in early childhood as a series of hard lumps in the neck or along the spine. These lumps, which may be tender, gradually shrink in size as the affected muscles are replaced by bone. The appearance of bony lumps in muscles is usually spontaneous but can also be provoked by any injury to the muscles. Disability in MOP is physical and very variable in extent; intelligence in unaffected. How does the condition progress? MOP is progressive in that more muscles become involved with increasing age, but the rate of progression is very variable from one person to another. Furthermore, the condition tends to show long periods of inactivity (of up to several years in length). Can any muscles be affected?

    Inclusion Body Myositis
    Inclusion body myositis is a slowly progressive inflammatory disorder of muscle. Men over age 50 are most commonly affected. Very rarely, the disease may be inherited. Symptoms include muscle weakness in the arms and legs. The diagnosis can be made when characteristic changes are seen on a muscle biopsy specimen. Occasional patients have been reported to improve with intravenous gamma globulin or steroids, but overall the response to treatment is poor.

    *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Myositis ossificans, a disorder in which the muscles (and frequently also other soft tissue such as tendons, ligaments, fasciae, aponeuroses and joint capsules) are involved by heterotopic ossification or cartilage formation. Two main categories are recognized. Myositis ossificans traumatica (also termed myositis ossificans circumscripta) frequently occurs after some type of trauma, although in other cases the patient may have one of the systemic problems in which soft tissue ossification occurs, such as neurologic conditions, burns and tetanus ( Fig.1 ). Some lesions develop spontaneously ( pseudomalignant osseous tumour of soft tissue). Some patients may not have the inflammation or the muscle involvement suggested by the term "myositis."
