在PubMed上查看摘要
概括
此摘要是机器生成的。在老年人中,多发性肌痛会引起疼痛和硬. 虽然葡萄皮质类药物有所帮助,但托西利祖马布等新疗法为这种炎症性疾病提供了更好的治疗选择.
科学领域
- 关节病学
- 免疫学
- 内部医学
背景情况
- 多发性肌痛 (PMR) 是一种炎症性疾病,影响50岁以上的人,导致肩膀和骨盆腰带疼痛和硬.
- 诊断依赖于排除其他疾病,因为缺乏特定的测试,成像有助于病理识别和检测共存的巨细胞动脉炎.
- PMR显著影响生活质量, 虽然它通常不会影响生存或器官功能.
研究的目的
- 审查目前对多发性肌痛的理解,包括诊断,治疗和新兴疗法.
- 突出评估疾病活性和管理与葡萄糖皮质激素治疗相关的复发和副作用的挑战.
- 讨论新的向疗法的潜力,以改善患者的治疗结果.
主要方法
- 对多发性肌痛现有文献的审查,重点是诊断标准,治疗结果和新疗法.
- 分析成像在诊断和疾病活动评估中的作用.
- 评估当前和新兴治疗方法的疗效和安全性,包括葡萄皮类药物和生物药物.
主要成果
- 葡萄糖皮质类药物对缓解有效,但与高复发率 (40- 60%) 和逐渐减少的常见副作用有关.
- 由于伴随性疾病和治疗期间炎症标志物反应的改变,评估疾病活性是具有挑战性的.
- 托西利祖马布和沙利祖马布在临床试验中显示出有效性,这表明针对性治疗具有前景.
结论
- 由于治疗的挑战和对生活质量的影响,多发性肌痛需要谨慎管理.
- 新兴的向疗法,如IL-6抑制剂,显示出更有效和可能更安全的治疗策略.
- 在为多发性肌痛患者实施新的治疗创新时, 仔细评估风险和益处至关重要.

The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare heart muscle disease characterized by impaired ventricular filling due to stiffened ventricular walls, leading to significant diastolic dysfunction.EtiologyRestrictive cardiomyopathy can arise from both inherited and acquired diseases, many of which are systemic. It is categorized into four main types: infiltrative, storage, non-infiltrative, and endomyocardial diseases.Infiltrative diseases, such as amyloidosis, lead to RCM by depositing amyloid...
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) management can be divided into two main strategies: prevention and long-term management.Primary PreventionPrimary prevention focuses on timely diagnosis and management of group A streptococcal pharyngitis to prevent acute rheumatic fever. The most widely used antibiotic for treating this condition is intramuscular benzathine penicillin G.Acute Rheumatic Fever TreatmentThe primary treatment goal for a patient diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever is to suppress the...
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...
