SUMMARY:Inclusion Body Myositis: What Your Patients May Not Tell You
DESCRIPTION:This 15-minute non-accredited educational activity is designed to provide clinicians with a concise yet impactful overview of how inclusion body myositis (IBM) affects patients’ quality of life. The session explores how the progressive physical limitations\, such as difficulty with mobility\, hand function\, and swallowing lead to loss of independence and increased risk of falls and malnutrition for the patients. The emotional toll—including depression\, frustration\, and social isolation—will also be discussed\, along with the burden experienced by caregivers. By highlighting real-world experiences\, this activity emphasizes the importance of functional assessments\, communication strategies\, and supportive care planning in IBM management. Clinicians will gain insights into recognizing the broader implications of this slowly progressive disease\, equipping them to better address patients’ needs\, promote shared decision-making\, and support long-term quality of life in this underserved neuromuscular population. Ideal for neurologists seeking a quick\, practical update. \nFaculty:\nRohit Aggarwal\, MD\, MS\nProfessor of Medicine\nCo-Director\, UPMC Myositis Center\nProgram Director\, UPMC Myositis Fellowship Program\nUniversity of Pittsburgh School of Medicine\nPittsburgh\, Pennyslvania \nElie Naddaf\, MD\nAssociate Professor of Neurology\nMayo Clinic\,\nRochester\, Minnesota \nSupported by an independent educational grant from Abcuro\, Inc. \nClick the link to view the Activity and Disclosure details before participating: https://lnkd.in/eksNyUsU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick on any of these platforms on September 9 to view presentation: \nFacebook \nLinkedIn \nYouTube \nTwitter \n
