Case‐Based Immunology: B Cells and Systemic Sclerosis Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of ILDs of other systemic autoimmune

Effects of antenatal betamethasone on preterm human and mouse ductus arteriosus: comparison with baboon data. [PDF]

, 2018
BackgroundAlthough studies involving preterm infants ≤34 weeks gestation report a decreased incidence of patent ductus arteriosus after antenatal betamethasone, studies involving younger gestation infants report conflicting results.MethodsWe used preterm

Echocardiogram of the Pulmonary Valve

Japanese Heart Journal, 1974
The echogram of the pulmonary valve was recorded in 11 normal subjects and in 70 patients with various underlying disease. On the routine examination, the detection of the pulmonary valve was about 20%, but the aimed study disclosed the valve more frequently. The technique was described in detail.

Telomere Length of Peripheral Blood Leukocytes Predicts Disease Severity and Worse Survival in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Peripheral blood leukocyte telomere length (PBL‐TL) shortening is associated with systemic sclerosis–related interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD). However, its association with other organ involvement, disease severity, and survival remains unclear.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective High intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced SSc. The role of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) prior to AHSCT in this population remains unclear. We conducted this study to determine the long‐term outcomes of RIC AHSCT in SSc patients with cardiac ...

A minimum dataset for a Level 1 echocardiogram: a guideline protocol from the British Society of Echocardiography

Echo Research and Practice, 2020
The British Society of Echocardiography has previously outlined a minimum dataset for a standard transthoracic echocardiogram, and this remains the basis on which an echocardiographic study should be performed.
