Epidemiology of inclusion body myositis in the Netherlands: a nationwide study.

Epidemiologic data on inclusion body myositis (IBM) are scarce, and possibly biased, because they are derived from larger neuromuscular centers. The present nationwide collaborative cross-sectional study, which culminated on July 1, 1999, resulted in identification of 76 patients with IBM and the establishment of a prevalence of 4.9 patients with IBM per million inhabitants in the Netherlands. Several discrepancies suggest that this may be an underestimation. The most frequently identified pitfall in diagnosing IBM was an erroneous diagnosis of polymyositis or motor neuron disease.

[Somatosensory chronotopography: normative data].

Somatosensory chronotopography of a limited number of components gives a simple representation of the potential distribution of evoked potentials over the skull. Components of individual somatosensory evoked potentials over 16 equally distributed electrodes were analysed in 10 healthy volunteers. The distribution of some specific and non-specific components, as found near the somatosensory cortex is defined and the distribution in relation to the individual traces plotted, resulting in seven normative topogramms with 90% appearance area of maxima of the seven different components. Dipoles are often present.
