Gait difficulty in a young female - a rare cause should not be missed
Background: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) –associated myelopathy (HAM) is a slowly progressive neurological complication of HTLV-1 infection. The neurological spectrum of HTLV-1 might be broad, including chronic or acute myelopathy, polymyositis, polyneuropathy, dysautonomia, ALS-like syndrome, chronic diffuse encephalomyelopathy, encepha litis, and cognitive deficits.

Value of radiomics-based automatic grading of muscle edema in polymyositis/dermatomyositis based on MRI fat-suppressed T2-weighted images
CONCLUSION: The Naive Bayes model, utilizing radiomics features extracted from thigh FS T2W images, accurately assesses the severity of muscle edema in cases of PM/DM.PMID:38591947 | DOI:10.1177/02841851241244507 (Source: Acta Radiologica)

Characteristics of chest high-resolution computed tomography in patients with anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase antibody-positive interstitial lung disease
CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective study demonstrated that ARS-ILD patients, regardless of myositis symptoms, most often showed the NSIP pattern on HRCT, as previously reported. However, unlike previous reports, the UIP pattern on HRCT was not rare.PMID:38567566 | DOI:10.36141/svdld.v41i1.14144 (Source: Sarcoidosis Vasculitis and Diffuse Lung Diseases)
