Practical in nature, it presents IIM concepts in a straightforward fashion, with high-quality figures, algorithms, and flowcharts supplementing each of the expertly authored chapters. The book begins with an introduction to myositis, providing an overview of the myositis basics and what type of patient is affected. Subsequent chapters are organized by the sequence in which a physician often manages myositis, from initial presentation and workup, to diagnosis, treatment, and finally prognostic and long-term outcome factors. The key differentials in various diagnostic studies are thoroughly examined, including electromyography, muscle biopsy, and MRI. \u003ci\u003eManaging Myositis: A Practical Guide\u003c\/i\u003e is an easy to-read, indispensable resource for internists, rheumatologists, dermatologists, pulmonologists, and neurologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword1\tIntroduction to Myositis2\tMyositis Basics\/Who Gets Myositis  3\tEvaluating the patient with suspected myositis 4\tAsymptomatic HyperCKemia 5\tClinical Features of Myositis Patients: Muscular Manifestations6\tClinical Features of Myositis Patients: Skin Manifestations7\tClinical Features of Myositis Patients: Lung Manifestations8\tClinical Features of Myositis Patients: Cardiac Manifestations9\tClinical Features of Myositis Patients: Juvenile Dermatomyositis clinical features 10\tClinical Features of Myositis Patients: Other manifestations: arthritis, Raynaud phenomenon, constitutional 11\tMaking the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Definition and classification of Myositis12\tMaking the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Electrodiagnostic Testing13\tMaking the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Muscle biopsy and interpretation 14\tMaking the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Skin biopsy and interpretation 15\tMaking the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Lung biopsy and interpretation 16\tMaking the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Muscle MRI 17\tMaking the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Laboratory testing in myositis18\tRole of ANA and Myositis Autoantibodies in Diagnosis19\tRole of Myositis Autoantibodies in Management and Prognosis 20\tTraditional Myositis Autoantibodies:  Synthetase, Mi-2, SRP, Ku, PM-Scl, Ro, U1RNP21\tDermatomyositis-associated Autoantibodies: TIF1-γ, NXP2, and MDA522\tNewly described Myositis Autoantibodies: HMGCR, NT5C1A, SAE, PUF6023\tMyositis Mimics: The Differential Diagnosis of Myositis24\tImmune Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy (IMNM)25\tCancer Associated Myositis 26\tMyositis Associated Interstitial Lung Disease 27\tPregnancy in Myositis 28\tPathogenesis of Myositis 29\tManagement Considerations: Pharmacologic intervention 30\tManagement Considerations:Special treatment considerations - JDM31\tManagement Considerations: Special treatment considerations - Refractory skin rash and calcinosis32\tManagement Considerations: Special treatment considerations - ILD33\tRole of Exercise in the Management of Myositis 34\tDietary Considerations in Myositis35\tDistinguishing Disease Activity and Damage in Myositis \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043558162775,"sku":"9783030158194","price":104.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783030158194.jpg?v=1750958688","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/managing-myositis-a-practical-guide-9783030158194","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
