Abstract

The juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a group of rare, chronic, multisystem, autoimmune diseases associated with muscle weakness. This article reviews practical issues of relevance to pediatricians, including clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, investigation, therapy, and prognosis. The importance of early recognition and specialist involvement is emphasized.

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
