Inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD), now more commonly referred to as multisystem proteinopathy (MSP), is an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations in VCP, HNRPA2B1 or HNRNPA1; it is a multisystem degenerative disorder that can affect muscle, bone, and/or the central nervous system.The condition now called Desmin-related myofibrillar myopathy (also called myofibrillar myopathy-1) was formerly known as inclusion body myopathy 1 (IBM1).More types of HIMBs, linked to other genes, may be identified in the future. Treatment
Treatment is palliative, not curative (as of 2009).Treatment options for lower limb weakness such as foot drop can be through the use of Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) which can be designed or selected by an Orthotist based upon clinical need of the individual. Sometimes tuning of rigid AFOs can enhance knee stability. Prognosis
A 2009 review noted that muscle weakness usually begins after age 20 and after 20–30 years, the person usually requires a wheel chair for mobility. There was no mention of increased mortality. Research
Because lack of sialic acid appears to be part of the pathology of IBM caused by GNE mutations, clinical trials with sialic acid supplements, and with a precursor of sialic acid, N-Acetylmannosamine,  have been conducted, and as of 2016 further trials were planned. History
Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (IBM) constitutes a unique group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by adult-onset slowly progressive distal and proximal weakness, and a typical muscle pathology including rimmed vacuoles and filamentous inclusions.
Tocolytics are considered for women with confirmed preterm labor between 24 and 34 weeks of gestation age and used in conjunction with other therapies that may include corticosteroids administration, fetus neuroprotection, and safe transfer to facilities. Types of agents
There is no clear first-line tocolytic agent. Current evidence suggests that first line treatment with β2 agonists, calcium channel blockers, or NSAIDs to prolong pregnancy for up to 48 hours is the best course of action to allow time for glucocorticoid administration.Various types of agents are used, with varying success rates and side effects. Some medications are not specifically approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in stopping uterine contractions in preterm labor, instead being used off-label. Calcium-channel blockers (such as nifedipine) and oxytocin antagonists (such as atosiban) may delay delivery by 2 to 7 days, depending on how quickly the medication is administered. NSAIDs (such as indomethacin) and calcium channel blockers (such as nifedipine) are the most likely to delay delivery for 48 hours, with the least amount of maternal and neonatal side effects. Otherwise, tocolysis is rarely successful beyond 24 to 48 hours because current medications do not alter the fundamentals of labor activation.
