There Is

suggestion

"There is no disease-modifying treatment for inclusion body myositis. The disease is generally unresponsive to corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs ⁷. There may be some evidence suggesting a slight, short-lasting benefit from intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, particularly in patients with dysphagia. Thus, management is essentially supportive (physical therapy to improve mobility, etc.)."

Semicolons

suggestion

"Inclusion body myositis is a slow progressive disease with significant morbidity; ~30% (range 12-47%) of patients are wheelchair-bound ¹⁷. The most common cause of death is respiratory failure and pneumonia ¹⁷."
