Orange Awareness Ribbons for Idiopathic Inflammatory-Demyelinating Diseases (IIDDs)
What is Idiopathic Inflammatory-Demyelinating Diseases (IIDDs)?
Idiopathic Inflammatory-Demyelinating Diseases (IIDDs) include a broad spectrum of central nervous system disorders that can usually be differentiated on the basis of clinical, imaging, laboratory and pathological findings. However, there can be a considerable overlap between at least some of these disorders, leading to misdiagnoses or diagnostic uncertainty. The relapsing-remitting and secondary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) are the most common IIDDs. Other MS phenotypes include those with a progressive course from onset or with a benign course continuing for years after onset (benign MS).

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IH) is also known as:

What is Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IH)?
Intracranial Hypertension (IH) is characterized by increased pressure inside the skull. Intracranial Hypertension means that the pressure of the fluid that surrounds the brain is too high. Elevated CSF pressure can cause two problems, severe headache and visual loss. If the elevated CSF pressure remains untreated, permanent visual loss or blindness may result. Pseudotumor Cerebri and Benign Intracranial Hypertension are both former names for IH, which are now considered inaccurate.

Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD) is an increasingly recognized immune-mediated condition comprised of a collection of disorders that share particular pathologic, serologic, and clinical features. These disorders were previously thought to be unrelated. The commonly shared features include tumor-like swelling of involved organs, a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate enriched in IgG4-positive plasma cells, and a variable degree of fibrosis that has a characteristic "storiform" pattern. In addition, elevated serum concentrations of IgG4 are found in 60 to 70 percent of patients with IgG4-RD.

Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is also known as:
• Autoimmune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
• ITP
• Primary Thrombocytopenic Purpura
• Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia
What is Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)?
Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by abnormally low levels of blood cells called platelets, otherwise referred to as thrombocytopenia. Platelets are specialized blood cells that maintain the integrity of the blood vessel walls and help prevent and stop bleeding by accelerating clotting. A normal platelet count ranges from approximately 150,000 to 400,000 per microliter of blood depending on the laboratory. If someone has a platelet count lower than 100,000 per microliter of blood with no other reason for low platelets, that person has thrombocytopenia and might have ITP. There is currently no definitive laboratory test to diagnose ITP. Rather ITP is considered a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that other causes have been excluded or are unlikely. As the platelet count falls, the risk of developing bleeding symptoms increases.

Inclusion-Body Myositis (IBM) is one of the inflammatory myopathies, a group of muscle diseases that involves inflammation of the muscles or associated tissues, such as the blood vessels that supply the muscles. A myopathy is a muscle disease, and inflammation is response to cell damage. Inflammatory cells invading muscle tissues is one characteristic of IBM, but the disease is distinct from other inflammatory myopathies in that muscle degeneration also occurs. IBM is named for the clumps of discarded cellular material, the "bodies", that collect in the muscle tissues.
