Nutrition and connective tissue disease
Clinics in Dermatology, 2022Despite an incomplete overall understanding, nutrition plays an important role in connective tissue disease. Assessment of patients with connective tissue disease for nutritional status and metabolic disturbances may significantly contribute to patient outcomes.

Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2000A defining feature of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is the presence of antibodies against the U1-ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex, but other autoantibodies in MCTD have recently been described. Research has also further elucidated the immune responses directed against U1-RNP in humans and in murine models of disease.

Immunoadsorption for connective tissue disease
Atherosclerosis Supplements, 2013Distinct connective tissue diseases (CTD's) such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis, mixed connective tissue disease as well as dermato- and polymyositis comprise a group of diseases, where autoantibodies are not merely indicators of autoimmune disease, but also play an relevant role in the underlying pathogenicity.

Connective tissue disease and silicosis
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1999To determine the prevalence of connective tissue disease in a cohort of individuals with silicosis, we reviewed the medical records and questionnaires from individuals reported from 1987 to 1995 to a state surveillance system for silicosis. Reporting of individuals with silicosis is required by state law.

Connective Tissue Diseases and the Liver
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2002Connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, and scleroderma are systemic disorders that may have an autoimmune basis. The system manifestations vary, and there is frequent overlap among the syndromes.

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1993
The classic connective tissue diseases (lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, and scleroderma) have been described with respect to their pathogenesis, clinical picture, laboratory diagnosis, and management. Because the aim of this volume is to provide an interface between plastic surgery and dermatology, the cutaneous manifestations, both shared and ...

Pleural Diseases in Connective Tissue Diseases
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care MedicineAbstractConnective tissue diseases (CTD) are heterogeneous, immune-mediated inflammatory disorders often presenting with multiorgan involvement. With the advent of high-resolution computed tomography, CTD-related pleuritis—pleural thickening and effusion—is now increasingly recognized early in the disease trajectory.

Atherosclerosis and connective tissue diseases
Joint Bone Spine, 2001Large increases in mortality related to premature atherosclerosis with coronary artery disease and stroke have been reported in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS), or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Studies found relative risks of 5 for myocardial infarction, 6 to 10 for stroke in SLE patients, and 3.6 for ...

Panniculitis in Connective Tissue Disease
Archives of Dermatology, 1983Specific and nonspecific panniculitis occur in connective tissue diseases. Microscopic studies of the epidermis and dermis, immunofluorescent microscopy, and extensive serologic testing may aid in the diagnosis and classification of these unusual syndromes. Connective tissue panniculitis and focal lipoatrophy may be forms of immunoreactive panniculitis
