Clinical, histologic and prognostic features of clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis
CONCLUSIONS: CADM patients differ in disease onset, autoantibody profiles, joint and lung involvement. While laboratory and instrumental tests have not shown muscle involvement in CADM, many muscle biopsies have shown MHC-I overexpression.PMID:38488091 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/kgpnbq (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Polymyositis is a rare and favourable outcome subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy in Chinese patients
CONCLUSIONS: Strictly defined typical PM is a rare clinical subtype in Chinese IIM patients. Typical PM patients with classical pathology were MSA-negative and responded well to treatment and had a favourable prognosis. It is crucial for clinicians to combine clinical, serological, and pathological features to properly distinguish PM from other IIM subtypes.PMID:38488095 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/7v9d2x (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Cancer-associated myositis before and after the COVID-19 pandemic onset: a changing trend
CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant increase in the incidence of CAM after the COVID-19 pandemic. IIM diagnosis after the COVID-19 pandemic was an independent predictor of CAM.PMID:38488097 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/jv9ey8 (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Anti-SAE dermatomyositis: clinical and histologic characteristics from a monocentric Italian cohort
CONCLUSIONS: Anti-SAE DM represents a disease subset characterised by classic cutaneous involvement often associated with itching, less severe muscle involvement, but potential pulmonary involvement that should always be investigated in these patients.PMID:38488098 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/110r0p (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Mental health in paediatric and adult myositis-related diseases: current state of research, interventions, and future steps from the MIHRA Psychological Impact Scientific Working Group
Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2024 Feb;42(2):413-424. doi: 10.55563/clinexprheumatol/cngdfn. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTPsychological and emotional well-being are critical aspects of overall health for individuals with chronic rheumatologic conditions. Mental health-related literature, however, predominantly focuses on systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis, with limited emphasis on idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). High proportions of those with juvenile myositis report psychological distress at levels warranting mental health referral. Adults with dermatomyositis diagnosed with depression or anxiety do not rec...
