It is also known as atrophic myositis or eosinophilic myositis. MMM is the most common inflammatory myopathy in dogs. [1] The disease mainly affects large breed dogs. [2] German Shepherd Dogs [3] and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels may be predisposed. [4] There is a similar disease of the eye muscles found in Golden Retrievers. Symptoms of acute ...

For myositis, which is caused by a viral infection, no treatment is typically needed. [4] For myositis caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics can be used. [4] For myositis caused by a medication, it is important to stop using that medication. [4] There are a variety of treatment options available if myositis is caused by an autoimmune ...
There have been few randomized treatment trials, due to the relative rarity of inflammatory myopathies. [4] The goal of treatment is improvement in activities of daily living and muscle strength. Suppression of immune system activity (immunosuppression) is the treatment strategy. Patients with PM or DM almost always improve to some degree in ...

[ 165 ] Malignant histiocytosis ( histiocytic sarcoma ) is an aggressive cancer found primarily in certain breeds including the Bernese Mountain Dog , rottweiler , golden retriever and flat coated retriever .
The four classical muscles of mastication elevate the mandible (closing the jaw) and move it forward/backward and laterally, facilitating biting and chewing. Other muscles are responsible for opening the jaw, namely the geniohyoid, mylohyoid, and digastric muscles (the lateral pterygoid may play a role).
A wide range of associated autoantibodies and myositis-specific antibodies have been found in those with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and are often tested when evaluating idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. [35] Anti-synthetase antibodies specific to myositis are the defining feature of anti-synthetase syndrome.
Myositis ossificans comprises two syndromes characterized by heterotopic ossification (calcification) of muscle. In 2020, the World Health Organization classified myositis ossificans together with fibro-osseous pseudotumor of digits as a single specific entity in the category of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors.
