81. Mitochondrial Myopathies: What Are They? Click to enlarge Mitochondrial myopathies are a group of neuromuscular diseases caused by damage to the mitochondria small, energy-producing structures found http://www.epic4health.com/mimywhareth.html

Mitochondrial myopathies are a group of neuromuscular diseases caused by damage to the mitochondria - small, energy-producing structures found in almost all cells in the body that serve as the cells' "power plants." What is the prognosis? The prognosis for patients with mitochondrial myopathies varies greatly from patient to patient because disease progression depends largely on the type of disease and the degree of involvement of various organs. Are there any treatments? Although there is no specific treatment for any of the mitochondrial myopathies, physical therapy may extend the range of movement of muscles and improve dexterity. Vitamin therapies such as riboflavin, coenzyme Q10 , vitamins C and K, Thiamine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and carnitine (a specialized amino acid) may improve function in some patients. If you are considering vitamin therapies discuss the issue first with your local health care professional. If you get the go-ahead, we suggest starting with Q-Gel CoQ10 Why Q-Gel CoQ10? Because, Q-Gel CoQ10 is hydrosoluble and it gets into your system very quickly. Before Q-Gel was available, it was taking Dr’s doing clinical trials on CoQ10 one to two years to get therapeutic blood levels of CoQ10. With Q-Gel, they are achieving therapeutic blood serum levels of CoQ10 in one month or less. Note that we also have Q-Gel available in liquid in a bottle for those patients who cannot swallow a soft gel. Children’s Q-Gel CoQ10 Dosages: Normally healthy children should NOT need to supplement their diet with CoQ10. Dosages for children with mitochondrial diseases and other conditions that could be helped with Q-Gel CoQ10 should be discussed with your child’s Doctor. Per our senior pharmacologist, a starting point you may want to discuss would be 3 mg. per pound of the child’s body weight. For example, if the child weighs 20 pounds, start with 20 X 3 mg = 60 mg per day in divided doses, i.e. 20 mg 3 times daily.

Gene Expression in Inflammatory Myopathies Contact Us about this project Summary The goals of Gene Expression in Inflammatory Myopathies are: (1) to formulate and validate hypotheses relevant to the pathogenesis of the inflammatory myopathies through the use of DNA microarrays and measurement of large-scale muscle tissue gene expression, (2) to characterize patterns of muscle gene expression among distinct clinical subtypes of inflammatory myopathies and correlate these patterns with clinical phenotypes, and (3) to explore possible gene function for genes, cDNAs, and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of unknown function through computational techniques applied to these expression profiles. High-density oligonucleotide microarrays are used to assay gene expression in muscle biopsy specimens from patients with inflammatory myopathies. Data analysis of differential gene expression provides leads relevant to pathogenesis that will then be validated biologically. Gene expression profiles are linked with clinical data to refine disease classification. This work may provide further understanding of the pathogenesis of inflammatory myopathies with a consequent generation of hypotheses for treatment and may contribute to clinical classification of this group of diseases.

Editor's Note: Our new cutting-edge article, from Editor Paul Plotz, Chief of the Arthritis Branch at the National Institute of Health, deals with speculation regarding the future of research and treatment of the inflammatory myositides. This world-renowned authority on the subject propels us into the 21st century. INFLAMMATORY MYOPATHIES IN THE 21ST CENTURY published 10. August 1999 Download As A PDF File : To read and print PDF files, you will need free Adobe Acrobat Reader CINFLAMMATORY MYOPATHIES IN THE 21ST CENTURY The understanding of myositis has been slow. It is not a common affliction but can be a deadly one. This article should be seen as a wish list for the new millenium. Many genetic entities which present clinically as limb-girdle dystrophies have been defined, and there are many more to come. Some of these patients and even some with mitochondrial, metabolic, or other genetic myopathies are in our rheumatology clinics where they are called refractory polymyositis. With the development of molecular diagnostic tools, at the very least such patients should be spared misdirected anti-inflammatory therapies. I despair that many decades of earnest but sporadic effort have given us no better than five or ten point scales to express muscle strength and doubt that the future promises better, but well-designed measures of the activities of daily living get closer to our real therapeutic aims and soon, more precise and powerful non-invasive imaging techniques will be applied to the diagnosis of myopathies and be used to monitor therapy. I am less sanguine that any single blood test will be a useful general surrogate.

Wortmann, MD Department of Internal Medicine University of Oklahoma College of Medicine Tulsa, OK Treatment of Myopathies The treatment of a myopathic process depends on the diagnosis. However, before initiating any therapy, the patient’s muscle strength should be assessed. Without accurate baseline measurements, it is difficult to assess progress in cases in which treatment response is less than desired. In addition, physical therapy is an important component of treatment. It can be used to prevent contracture, to prevent atrophy and to increase endurance. The treatment of the inflammatory myopathies is largely empiric as controlled clinical trials are severely lacking. Glucocorticoids are the standard first-line medications. Prednisone is usually given in a single dose of 1 mg/kg/day. In severe cases, the daily dose can be divided. In general, the earlier in the disease course that therapy is initiated, the more effective it is.
