29
Q

wht is DISH

A

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis(DISH) is a condition

characterized by abnormal calcification/bone formation (“hyperostosis”) of the soft tissues surrounding the joints of the spine, and also the peripheral or appendicular skeleton.[1]In the spine, there is bone formation along theanterior longitudinal ligamentand sometimes theposterior longitudinal ligament, which may lead to partial or completefusionof adjacent spinal levels. The facet and sacroiliac joints tend to be uninvolved. The thoracic spine is the most common level involved.[2]In the peripheral skeleton, DISH manifests as a calcificenthesopathy, with pathologic bone formation atsites where ligaments and tendons attach to bone.

45
Q

types of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

A

polymyositis

dermatomyositis

46
Q

symptoms of polymyositis

A

Symmetrical proximal muscle weakness that develops subacutely over weeks or several months
•The earliest andmost.severely.affected muscle groups are the
neckflexors,
shoulder girdle, and
pelvic girdle muscles

47
Q

symptoms and signs of dermatomyositis

A

symptoms of polymyositis + skin involvement

Heliotrope rash (butterfly)—around eyes, bridge of nose, cheeks
b. Gottron papules—papular, erythematous, scaly lesions over the knuckles (MCP,PIP,DIP)
c. V sign—rash on the face, neck, and anterior chest
d. Shawl sign—rash on shoulders and upper back, elbows, and knee
s e.Periungual erythema with telangiectases
f. Subcutaneous calcifications in children—can be extremely painful
g. Associated with vasculitis of the GI tract, kidneys, lungs, and eyes (more common in children)

h. There is an increased incidence of malignancy in older adults (lung, breast, ovary, GI tract, and myeloproliferative disorders). Once dermatomyositis is diagnosed, make an effort to uncover an occult malignancy. Dermatomyositis associated with malignancy often remits once the tumor is removed

48
Q

diagnostic criteria of polymoyositis

A

If two of first four→possible polymyositis
If three of first four→probable polymyositis
If all four→definite polymyositis

  • Symmetric proximal muscle weakness
  • Elevation in serum creatine phosphokinase
  • EMG findings of amyopathy
  • Biopsy evidence of myositis
  • Characteristic rash of dermatomyositis
49
Q

odd ball of inflammatory myopathies

A

inclusion body myositis is the“odd ball of Inflammatory myopathies”for the following reasons

:Affects male patients more than female patients,
absence of autoantibodies,
distal muscle involvement, and relatively
low creatine kinase(CK);
prognosis is poor.

50
Q

lab finding of polymyositis

A

CK level is significantly elevated.
CK levels correspond to the degree of muscle necrosis, so one can monitor the disease severity
b. LDH, aldolase, AST, ALT elevated
c. ANA in over 50%
d. Antisynthetase antibodies (anti-Jo-1 antibodies)—abrupt onset of fever, cracked hands,Raynaud phenomenon,interstitial lung disease and fibrosis,arthritis; does not respond well to therapy
e. Antisignal recognition particle •Cardiac manifestations(common) •Worst prognosis of all subsets f. Anti-Mi-2 antibodies—better prognosis
2. EMG—abnormal in 90% of patients
3. Muscle biopsy
a. Shows inflammation and muscle fiber fibrosis in all three b. Dermatomyositis—perivascular and perimysial c.Polymyositis and inclusionbodymyositis—endomysial

51
Q

biopsy finding of polymyositis

A

Polymyositis and inclusion body myositis—endomysial

52
Q

muscle finding found in dermatomyositis

A

Dermatomyositis—perivascular and perimysial inflammation

53
Q

inclusion body myositis

A

Insidious onset of slowly progressive proximal and distal weakness,
Patients can also have loss of deep tendon reflexes(nerves are not involved in polymyositis and dermatomyositis)
