Predictors of systemic sclerosis patients with interstitial lung disease progression: A retrospective study

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
The final systemic sclerosis patients with interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) progression prediction model was composed of 6 significant risk factors: male, type 2 diabetes mellitus, pericardial effusion, anti‐Ro52, hypoproteinemia, and elevated C‐reactive protein. Our model demonstrated excellent prognostic utility.

Perioperative Mechanical Circulatory Support for Cardiac Assistance in Thoracic Surgery: A Scoping Review

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
High‐risk cardiac patients may benefit from timely temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) implantation to provide perioperative hemodynamic stabilization and circulatory support, thus enabling them to undergo life‐saving thoracic surgery. CPB: cardiopulmonary bypass; IABP: intra‐aortic balloon pump; tMCS: temporary mechanical circulatory ...

Detection and significance of TNF-α and hs-CRP in the pleural effusion of patients with diabetes and pulmonary tuberculosis

European Journal of Inflammation, 2019
It is postulated that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) are diagnostic utilities for pleural effusion. This study was designed to explore the detection and significance of TNF-α and hs-CRP in the pleural ...

Recent advances in multimodality imaging‐guided therapy in pericarditis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
Multiple imaging targets have been identified as essential biomarkers to confirm pericardial thickening, edema, neovascularization, inflammation, fibrosis/calcification, cardiac tamponade physiology, and constriction. This novel approach is called imaging‐guided therapy, which guides anti‐inflammatory therapy, assesses treatment response, assists in ...

Dosagem da atividade da adenosina deaminase no líquido pleural para o diagnóstico da tuberculose pleural Pleural fluid adenosine deaminase detection for the diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis

Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2004
INTRODUÇÃO: O diagnóstico da tuberculose pleural permanece um desafio, pois a sensibilidade dos testes tradicionais é baixa. O exame histopatológico da pleura é o método mais preciso, com até 80% de sensibilidade.
