The distribution of selected lymphocyte subset populations in renal transplant patients was used to assist in the differential diagnosis of graft dysfunction. Patients experiencing dysfunction due to rejection showed consistent and significant decreases in relative numbers of CD 8 (cytotoxic/suppres
Magnetic resonance imaging of skeletal muscles was performed in 11 patients with polymyositis. Two types of muscle lesions were revealed. The first, inflammation, showed increased signal intensity on T2weighted images and iso-intensity on T1-weighted images. The second, fatty replacement, showed inc
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the muscles was performed in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Lesions with high intensity on TPweighted image, but normal intensity on T I -weighted image, were observed in 7 of 8 patients in the active stage of the disease. Following clinical impro
