Mixed connective tissue disease
Clinics in Dermatology, 1985Abstract Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) was first described by Gordon Sharp, 1 in 1972, as a distinct connective tissue disorder characterized by overlapping features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), and dermato/polymyositis (DP/PM).

Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1977Coping with chronic illness has become a personal experience for me. For the past 13 years, I have gone through various stages of coping with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), a rare collagen-vascular disease of unknown origin that resembles scleroderma, lupus erythematosus, and polymyositis.

Orvosi Hetilap, 2009Evolution of immunopathological diseases is usually slow and progressive. Non-differentiated collagen disease (NDC) or the term “undifferentiated connective tissue disease” (UCTD) represents a stage of disease where clinical symptoms and serological abnormalities suggest autoimmune disease, but they are not sufficient to fulfill the diagnostic ...

The Cornea in Connective Tissue Diseases
Ophthalmology, 1978Even though lenticular and retinal abnormalities seem to dominate the ophthalmologic picture in Marfan's syndrome, the cornea shows significant abnormalities consisting of a striking flattening and corneal astigmatism. The use of conjunctival biopsies followed by histochemical and electron-microscopic evaluation shows low morbidity but an excellent ...

Mixed connective tissue disease
Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2016The concept of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) as a separate connective tissue disease (CTD) has persisted for more than four decades. High titers of antibodies targeting the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (U1 snRNP) in peripheral blood are a sine qua non for the diagnosis of MCTD, in addition to distinct clinical features including

Connective Tissue Disease in Children
Pediatric Annals, 2005As our understanding of connective tissue disease expands, so too does our therapeutic armamentarium. We have learned that autoimmunity triggers inflammation through unchecked, proliferative cell-mediated inflammation. By targeting this arm of the cytokine cascade, it may be possible to arrest further progression.

Connective Tissue Disease in the Elderly
Clinics in Rheumatic Diseases, 1986The prevalence of the inflammatory disorders of connective tissue in the older age group is quite likely underestimated at the present time; and, in most instances, age-related factors influencing clinical expression and autoreactivity have not been intensively studied. The array of connective tissue disease that usually targets the young adult emerges
