Serum uric acid as a marker of microvascular damage in systemic sclerosis patients [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Microvascular damage of skin and internal organs is a hallmark of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Serum uric acid (UA) represents a marker of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.

Clinical and serological features of systemic sclerosis in a multicenter African American cohort: Analysis of the genome research in African American scleroderma patients clinical database. [PDF]

, 2017
Racial differences exist in the severity of systemic sclerosis (SSc). To enhance our knowledge about SSc in African Americans, we established a comprehensive clinical database from the largest multicenter cohort of African American SSc patients assembled

P267 Dlco predicts disease severity and mortality in bronchiectasis [PDF]

Thorax, 2016
Background Few studies have assessed the role of lung diffusing capacity (DLCO%) in bronchiectasis. We sought to examine the relationship between DLCO% and clinical and radiological variables in a well-defined population of bronchiectasis patients to determine its potential prognostic significance and compare with FEV1%.
