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
Exertional muscle pain, contractures, recurrent rhabdomyolysis, and pigmenturia are common in certain muscle glycolytic disorders. However, the frequency, distribution, and long-term significance of these findings are poorly understood. First we performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the extr
## Abstract ## Objective Interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) acts via its receptors to induce gene expression that mediates protein synthesis involved in inflammation. Increased expression of IL‐1α and IL‐1β in muscle tissue from patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis has been demonstrated. It is not kno
