Cure JM Sponsored Webinars with Healthcare Professionals

Auto-Antibodies in Juvenile Myositis

This webinar will introduce you to the concept of Myositis Specific Antibodies, or MSAs. The webinar is presented by Sara Sabbagh, D.O., Clinical Fellow, Muscle Disease Unit at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Understanding Labs and Investigations

Labs and investigation results are an essential tool in managing a patient’s treatment for JM. To the non-medically trained, labs and investigations can also be a great source of confusion. In this webinar, Dr. Adam Huber, a pediatric rheumatologist at the IWK Health Centre and Dalhousie University in Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada, helps patients and family members better understand lab and investigation results and what they may indicate. Due to technical difficulties, there is no recording of this webinar, but you may review Dr. Huber's slide presentation below.
