A Controlled Trial of High-Dose Intravenous Immune Globulin Infusions as Treatment for Dermatomyositis
Marinos C. Dalakas,Isabel Illa,James M. Dambrosia,Shawke A. Soueidan,Daniel P. Stein,Carlos Otero,Steven Dinsmore,Susan McCrosky +7 more
TL;DR: High-dose intravenous immune globulin is a safe and effective treatment for refractory dermatomyositis and changes in immune-mediated muscle abnormalities were determined by repeated muscle biopsies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A controlled study of intravenous immunoglobulin in demyelinating neuropathy with IgM gammopathy.
Marinos C. Dalakas,Richard H. Quarles,Robert G. Farrer,James M. Dambrosia,Shawke A. Soueidan,Daniel P. Stein,Edward Cupler,Elizabeth A. Sekul,Carlos Otero +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that IVIg has only a modest benefit to not more than 18% of patients with IgM paraproteinemic demyelinating neuropathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of inclusion‐body myositis with high‐dose intravenous immunoglobulin
TL;DR: Intravenous immunoglobulin is the first treatment modality to improve the strength of some muscles in patients with this disabling inflammatory myopathy and the unexpected but encouraging results from this pilot study warrant a controlled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic abnormalities in skeletal muscle of patients receiving zidovudine therapy observed by 31P in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Teresa Sinnwell,Kumaraaswamy Sivakumar,Shawke A. Soueidan,Jay C,J. A. Frank,A. C. Mclaughlin,Marinos C. Dalakas +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that AZT treatment decreases the maximal work output and the maximal rate of muscle ATP synthesis, similar to the effect observed in patients with known mitochondrial myopathies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of Autoimmune Neuromuscular Diseases with High-Dose Intravenous Immune Globulin
TL;DR: Current experience with IVIG is presented in the treatment of patients with autoimmune neuropathies, inflammatory myopathies, and myasthenia gravis unresponsive to conventional therapies, and the possible immunomodulatory action of IVIG in these conditions will also be discussed.
