TL;DR: This study shows lower myostatin and higher follistatin levels in circulation and attenuated expression ofMyostatin pathway signalling components in skeletal muscle of patients with myositis, a newly emerging pattern of the activin A-myostatin-follistatin system in muscle wasting diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of a 24-week training focused on activities of daily living, muscle strengthening, and stability in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: a monocentric controlled study with follow-up.

TL;DR: In this article, a 24-week program combining a supervised training of activities of daily living (ADL), resistance, and stability with home exercise for improving muscle function, compared to a daily home-based exercise representing the regular outpatient care, was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual function in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: a cross-sectional study.
B. Heřmánková,Maja Špiritović,Sabína Oreská,Hana Štorkánová,Martin Komarc,Martin Klein,Heřman Mann,Karel Pavelka,Ladislav Šenolt,Jiří Vencovský,Michal Tomcik +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional study aimed to compare sexual function in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies to age-/sex-matched healthy controls (HC) and determine the potential impact of clinical features on sexual function.
Journal Article
Clusterin is upregulated in serum and muscle tissue in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and associates with clinical disease activity and cytokine profile.
Tereza Kropáčková,Lucia Vernerová,Hana Štorkánová,Veronika Horváthová,Martina Vokurková,Martin Klein,Sabína Oreská,Maja Špiritović,B. Heřmánková,Kateřina Kubínová,Lucie Andrés Cerezo,Olga Kryštůfková,Heřman Mann,Jozef Ukropec,Barbara Ukropcova,Josef Zamecnik,Michal Tomcik,Jiří Vencovský,Ladislav Šenolt +18 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the up-regulation of clusterin in circulation and skeletal muscle of IIM patients may be an inflammation and atrophy induced response of the organism intended to limit the environment, favouring further muscle damage.
