To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature showing the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in treating refractory post-herpetic neuralgia in a patient with dermatom...
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease characterized by symmetrical and predominantly proximal muscle weakness in the limbs, associated with typical skin lesions. Autoimmune diseases have already b...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a nonpharmacological tool in physical rehabilitation. There have currently no studies that evaluated the safety and efficacy of tDCS in patients with derma...
In very scarce case reports and case series, tofacitinib has been a therapeutic alternative for dermatomyositis. To corroborate the literature, we described a refractory dermatomyositis that had a good outcome with to...
Introduction: Dermatomyositis (DM) and antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) show a high frequency of metabolic syndrome, which can be preceded by endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness. To date, only one study has ev...

Objective: With scant studies in the literature, little is known about the risk factors for tuberculosis in patients with dermatomyositis/polymyositis. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze the predic...
Background: Calcinosis is an important sequela of JDM which may cause significant morbidity and mortality. There is no standard curative treatment for calcinosis but different agents were used with variable efficacy. ...
Objectives: To correlate the precise specificity of autoantibodies in Japanese dermatomyositis (DM) patients with their clinical phenotypes. Methods: Serum samples from 94 adult DM patients (67 with classical DM and 2...
Dermatomyositis is a rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterized by proximal muscle weakness associated with typical skin abnormalities and compatible electromyographic finds. Tuberculosis could determine seve...
