Pulmonary Pathologic Manifestations of Anti-Alanyl-tRNA Synthetase (Anti-PL-12)-Related Inflammatory Myopathy.
CONCLUSIONS: - Lung disease is often the first manifestation of anti-PL-12 ARS. There are no pathognomonic histopathologic features to distinguish anti-PL-12 ARS-related lung disease from idiopathic variants of diffuse interstitial lung disease. Increased inflammation, lymphoid aggregates, and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia-like areas in a biopsy, as well as clinical features of mechanic's hands, Raynaud phenomenon, arthritis, and fever, should prompt pathologists to suggest involvement by ARS.

Post-polio syndrome presenting as isolated neck extensor myopathy: a case report
CONCLUSIONS: Survivors of paralytic polio are especially vulnerable to developing leg weakness and length discrepancy, pelvic obliquity, asymmetric axial loading, and trunk muscular imbalance. The current case demonstrates a rare myopathy in a patient at post-polio stage, as well as the restoration of neck function with chiropractic intervention.PMID:37122964 | PMC:PMC10130685 | DOI:10.21037/acr-22-76

Massive gastrointestinal dilatation in a case of hereditary hollow visceral myopathy
Hereditary hollow visceral myopathy (HHVM) is a rare genetic cause of intestinal pseudo-obstruction described sparingly in the literature . A 21-year-old-male was diagnosed with HHVM based on clinical symptoms, gastroduodenal manometry demonstrating low-amplitude contractions in the stomach and small intestines, and intestinal histopathology demonstrating diffuse fibrous replacement of smooth muscle; his father was also affected, with similar manometric and histopathologic changes. He presented acutely to the Emergency Room with complaints of abdominal pain, recurrent emesis of feculent material, and severe gaseous distent...

Pulmonary pathologic manifestations of anti-glycyl-tRNA synthetase (anti-EJ)-related inflammatory myopathy
Conclusions Identifying ARS-associated autoantibodies in ILD patients with or without myopathy is desirable because patients may respond well to immunosuppressive therapy, and their prognosis is better than that of patients with idiopathic forms of DAD or UIP.

Scoliosis in Mitochondrial Myopathy: Case Report and Review of the Literature
This study presents a case of scoliosis occurring in the setting of mitochondrial myopathies and explores the possible mechanisms between the 2 diseases. A previously unreported scoliosis in mitochondrial myopathies is described. The patient was a 16-year-old Chinese adolescent boy undergoing a posterior correction at thoracic 2-lumbar 3 (T2-L3) levels using the Moss-SI spinal system. At 48-month follow-up, the patient was clinically pain free and well balanced. Plain radiographs showed solid spine fusion with no loss of deformity correction. After evaluating 60 mitochondrial myopathies, patients referred to Peking Union M...

A Systematic Review and Metaanalysis of Predictors of Mortality in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease
CONCLUSION: Many mortality risk factors were identified, though heterogeneity was high, with a low quality of evidence and a risk of publication bias. Studies regarding anti-MDA5 antibody-positive disease and and those from East Asia predominate, which could mask risk factors relevant to other IIM subgroups or populations.PMID:36379584 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.220383
