In some instances, the origins of myositis remain idiopathic, without a discernible cause. Injury - A mild form of myositis can occur with hard exercise. [4] A more severe form of muscle injury, called rhabdomyolysis, is also associated with myositis. [4] This is a condition where an injury to the patient's muscles causes them to quickly break ...
It can also be associated with underlying cancer. The main classes of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy are polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) (including juvenile, amyopathic, and sine-dermatitis form), inclusion-body myositis (IBM), immune-mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM), and focal autoimmune myositis.

Polymyositis and the associated inflammatory myopathies have an associated increased risk of cancer. [3] The features they found associated with an increased risk of cancer were older age, age greater than 45, male sex, difficulty swallowing, death of skin cells, cutaneous vasculitis, rapid onset of myositis (<4 weeks), elevated creatine kinase, higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate and higher ...
This protein was a fusion protein formed by a chromosomal translocation between two disparate genes: the c-Fos gene [11] (also termed FOS), a potential cancer-causing oncogene, normally located at chromosome band 24.3 on the long arm (i.e. q arm) of chromosome 14 and the VIM gene, [12] normally located at band 13 on the short arm (i.e. p arm ...
This project will develop new radiopharmaceutical therapies that target cancer cells with fewer side effects for patients. It combines scientific talent from ORNL, UT, and the UT Health Science ...
The development of necrotizing myopathy after statin exposure is insufficient to make the diagnosis. Testing must first exclude other causes of myositis and necrotizing myopathy. [7] A muscle biopsy consistent with SAAM will demonstrate muscle cell death with muscle fiber regeneration and typically has few inflammatory cells.
