As it involves autoimmune demyelination, it is similar to multiple sclerosis, and is considered part of the Multiple sclerosis borderline diseases.

** Immunomodulation, e. g., tetracycline, which is effective in periodontal inflammation, and dapsone, which is effective in autoimmune diseases such as oral mucous membrane pemphigoid

An autoantigen is usually a normal protein or complex of proteins ( and sometimes DNA or RNA ) that is recognized by the immune system of patients suffering from a specific autoimmune disease.

The group's research is focused on autoimmune and genetic disorders of the neuromuscular junction and peripheral motor nerves.

How it works is unclear, but is likely immunotherapeutic, as the chronic inflammation could be the result of an autoimmune problem.

The thyroid disease, in this condition, is autoimmune in nature and approximately 5 % of patients with myasthenia gravis also have hyperthyroidism.

The cause of IC / BPS is unknown, though several theories have been put forward ( these include autoimmune theory, nerve theory, mast cell theory, leaky lining theory, infection theory and a theory of production of a toxic substance in the urine.

The body attacks itself, which is the basis of autoimmune disorders.

1 ) Some researchers ( e. g., Dalakas ) advocate the theory that the inflammation-immune reaction, caused by an unknown trigger – likely an undiscovered virus or an autoimmune disorder, is the primary, proximal cause of sIBM and that the degeneration of muscle fibres and protein abnormalities are secondary features.

Despite the arguments " in favor of an adaptive immune response in s-IBM, a purely autoimmune hypothesis for s-IBM is untenable because of the disease's resistance to most immunotherapy.

One confusing aspect is that medications that lower the immune response do not improve sIBM symptoms, as would be expected in the case of an autoimmune disorder.

Lambert – Eaton myasthenic syndrome ( LEMS, sometimes Lambert – Eaton syndrome or Eaton – Lambert syndrome ) is a rare autoimmune disorder that is characterised by muscle weakness of the limbs.

It is the result of an autoimmune reaction, where antibodies are formed against presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels in the neuromuscular junction ( the connection between nerves and the muscle that they supply ).

The diagnosis is usually confirmed with electromyography and blood tests ; these also distinguish it from myasthenia gravis ( MG ), a related autoimmune neuromuscular disease.

Myasthenia gravis ( from Greek μύς " muscle ", " weakness ", and " serious "; abbreviated MG ) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease leading to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatiguability.

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune channelopathy: it features antibodies directed against the body's own proteins.

MG is more common in families with other autoimmune diseases.

Myasthenia gravis is associated with various autoimmune diseases, including:

For this change is not a change from one positive position to another, but a change from order and truth to disorder and negation.

An antipsychotic ( or neuroleptic ) is a tranquilizing psychiatric medication primarily used to manage psychosis ( including delusions or hallucinations, as well as disordered thought ), particularly in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and is increasingly being used in the management of non-psychotic disorders ( ATC code N05A ).

It is believed that there is a greater risk of developing tardive dyskinesia with the older, typical antipsychotic drugs, although the newer antipsychotics are now also known to cause this disorder.

* Quetiapine ( Seroquel )-Used primarily to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and " off-label " to treat chronic insomnia and restless legs syndrome ; it is a powerful sedative.

* Asenapine ( Saphris ) is a 5-HT2A-and D2-receptor antagonist under development for the treatment of schizophrenia and acute mania associated with bipolar disorder.

Albinism ( from Latin albus, " white "; see extended etymology, also called achromia, achromasia, or achromatosis ) is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes due to absence or defect of tyrosinase, a copper-containing enzyme involved in the production of melanin.

The co-occurrence of major depressive disorder and alcoholism is well documented.

A special case is that of congenital amputation, a congenital disorder, where fetal limbs have been cut off by constrictive bands.

Body integrity identity disorder is a psychological condition in which an individual feels compelled to remove one or more of their body parts, usually a limb.

AVM is not generally thought to be an inherited disorder, unless in the context of a specific hereditary syndrome.

Roughly 88 % of people affected with AVM are asymptomatic ; often the malformation is discovered as part of an autopsy or during treatment of an unrelated disorder ( called in medicine " an incidental finding "); in rare cases its expansion or a micro-bleed from an AVM in the brain can cause epilepsy, deficit or pain.

* Roy Batty: The man which Tyrell used as the template for his combat replicants is in fact a man of considerable instability, suffering from a brain disorder that prevents him from experiencing fear.

In men, the mammary glands are also present in the body, but normally remain undeveloped because of the hormone testosterone, however, when male lactation occurs, it is considered a pathological symptom of a disorder of the pituitary gland.
