  2. Polymyositis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymyositis

    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 ...

  3. Endomysium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomysium

    It connects with perimysium using intermittent perimysial junction plates. [5] Collagen is the major protein that composes connective tissues like endomysium. [6] Endomysium has been shown to contain mainly type I and type III collagen components, and type IV and type V in very minor amounts. [7] Others have found type IV and type V more common ...

  4. Lateral force transmission in skeletal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_Force_Transmission...

    Unlike the endomysium, the perimysium has large variations in quantity and organization from one muscle group to another. [12] Muscles contain far more perimysial than endomysial connective tissue, and it has also been observed that the ratio of the dry mass of perimysium to that of endomysium ranges between 2.8-1 and 64–1. [13]

  5. Perimysium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimysium

    Perimysium is a sheath of dense irregular connective tissue that groups muscle fibers into bundles (anywhere between 10 and 100 or more) or fascicles.. Studies of muscle physiology suggest that the perimysium plays a role in transmitting lateral contractile movements.

  6. Inflammatory myopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammatory_myopathy

    Inflammatory myopathy, also known as idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), is disease featuring muscle weakness, inflammation of muscles , and in some types, muscle pain . The cause of much inflammatory myopathy is unknown ( idiopathic ), and such cases are classified according to their symptoms and signs , electromyography , MRI , and ...

  8. Anti-transglutaminase antibodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-transglutaminase...

    The endomysium contains a form of transglutaminase called "tissue transglutaminase" or "tTG" for short, and antibodies that bind to this form of transglutaminase are called endomysial autoantibodies (EmA). [6] The antiendomysial antibody test is a histological assay for patient serum binding to esophageal tissue from primate.

  9. Inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammation

    Inflammation is a generic response, and therefore is considered a mechanism of innate immunity, whereas adaptive immunity is specific to each pathogen. [2] Inflammation is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. The function of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out ...
